Trivia / Barkley 2: Curse of Cuchulainn

• Development Hell: The game was originally slated for 2013. That window kept moving until 2019 when it was revealed that the development team had been slowly falling apart over the years. Feature creep made the window of completion get further and further away, meanwhile developers were losing interest in the project or getting other jobs, forcing the remaining developers to take on more and more work to make up for it until there was almost no one left. Some of what was done was cobbled together into a playable demo to at least have something to show for all the time and effort that had been put into it, despite its fate. In 2021, the last remaining developer, Paperjack, made a post regarding the state of the game's development over the years and declared there is too much scope and not enough budget to complete the game, and released what was already developed for the game to open source.
• What Could Have Been: Thanks to the game's Troubled Production, the entire game is this.
