The latest Kickstarter update for cboyardee and co's upcoming sequel to Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (we did an interview about it, remember?), now called Barkley 2: Queklain no Vengeant, offers a pre-alpha gameplay video as well as news about Tales of Game's's (yes I did that on purpose) participation in PAX Prime as part of the Indie Megabooth:

Mystical Greetings,

So we had promised big news mid-August and we have just that. We're going to PAX Prime in two weeks to be part of the awe-inspiring Indie MegaBooth! That truck haul of bonkers nonsense above is going to be exhibited along with over 83 games from 78 developers. And how!

You can check out more information about Barkley 2 here on the IMB site.

If any of you kiddos are going to be in Seattle for PAX Prime from August 30th to September 2nd, send us a message or swing by Booth 867. Surprises abound.

Ooh, Sonic the Hedgehog -- I remember that game!

Haha, it's not actually called Queklain no Vengeant, we just wanted to see if we could get away with calling it that on the official website.

We're going to be doing live character creation (dressed as wizards!) in a tiny box we built out of PVC pipes that probably violates fire code. The character you create generates a code (that gets printed out of a skull!!!) that you can enter when the game is done to play as your guy. We'll also be demoing the game itself - we did yesterday at this bar and it was super fun - but I'm most excited about the character creation thing. If you're at PAX or just in the area, we should meet up, do character creation and maybe get something to drink afterwards.

Sadly, there are no booth babes.

Hey you better record it all so we can see if you look like your avatar. Also this looks great.

[Excidium]

Too late, I saw it already. I hope she wears a tight shirt

 

[eric__s]

Yeah, there's friendly fire for non-physical attacks. In fact, Cybergremlins, those little pink guys in that sewer area, attack everything. We've seen a lot of cool situations where they get in fights with other enemies and actually help you.

Dat channel name

Also just noticed the big piles of trash the dude was making on stream the other day.

 

[Murk]

Sweet. I think I'm most stoked about the music. Shit's p tight.

 

[Shaewaroz]

Me be a happy backer. The game looks great.

I can assure you that it is called Queklain no Vengeant.




(I work on this game and am cboy's friend-but-rival, thanks for your enthusiasm + the interview codex(ers))

 

[kazgar]

What's the pronunciation on Queklain? Somebody audioboo it or something.

 

[Haba]

Sadly, there are no booth babes.

We can fix that! Get Jaesun a ticket and...

 

[St. Toxic]

Great. Fill the booth with scantily clad faggots.

The Barkley 2 booth is back to back with Dead State's ; )

Haha. Good. I won't have to waste precious calories walking between two of my most anticipated.

 

[ColCol]

Can't wait for this game to come out, then I could fulfill my rpg to-do-list and return to the primordial ooze from which I came.

 

[taxalot]

I am not seeing the nonsensical wtf vibe of the first episode ; but I know it's in there somewhere.

 

[Gruia]

awesome. Sadly I didn't see any cool dialogs.. but Ima slow reader. Also didn't see any basketballs (

Are you the programmer? Or the guy that makes the cool pixel art?

That's (one of) the most stupid developper name I've seen.

Also, the mandatory : "This has nothing to do in CRPG news. Popamole game should go in POPAMOLECodex, where it belongs."

God. It's so good. I'm sure they think it's hilarious every time they see someone criticize it.

 

[Infinitron]

Yo @Zombra, you're the guy from the Wasteland 2 forums, right?

If so, you're doing a good job.

This IS the PopamoleCodex.

 

[UserNamer]

looks great, the gameplay could actually be interesting, even if I'm interested in the game as a whole (especially the rich, basketball based lore, I live for detailed vidcon basketball lore and NOTHING ELSE)

 

[felipepepe]

Great. Fill the booth with scantily clad faggots.

And then make a blog post about how any one not visiting your booth is a bigot. That should give you the biggest & most positive press coverage since ever.

The joke's funny but in fact, it could really be a very clever and effective marketing ploy: booth faggots dancing to a Shaquille O'Neal (c)rap LP. You should do it on the last day though, after all the corporate stuff is out of the way, it would be a riot to behold. Do it, @cboyardee !
