I'm actually very glad to hear this, I'm happy that the project finally has closure. I'd been a fan of the group since the original Barkley and was fully on-board with the sequel project, but within a few years after the initial excitement settled it became clear that the project was extremely bogged down.
Despite that we'd get occasional updates showing...not much progress, so I started outright encouraging them to either go ahead and drop the project or severely slash the scope of it. It clearly wasn't going to work out in the way that they'd envisioned and they were just punishing themselves by that point.
It was sad watching them continue to occasionally release updates over the many years since then, seemingly locked into the mindset that they HAD to finish it or at least grind themselves into the ground as penance.
An endless project like this is the best way to kill interest in gamemaking, so I hope they can one day get back to enjoying it or some other type of art.
Thanks for the code release!
