Young Keiji is learning to make new threads. There is hope for him yet!

Kidding aside, so fucking pumped for this. Also, to quote what I said on Facebook:

Quote:
 
MOTHERFUCKER:

"Bloodstained stars Miriam, an orphan stuck in the middle of "a classic tale of magic, or rather faith and belief, versus science," Igarashi told me through a translator. A group of alchemists, fearing its waning relevancy as science captures the 18th century setting, try to warn against the world losing faith. Start fucking loving science, they warn, and a bunch demons will take over. When that doesn't happen, egg on face, the alchemists start fusing demonic crystals into orphans to call the demons to earth, attempting to instigate a global annihilating "told ya so.""

This entire set up represents how the franchise diverted its attention from being based around faith in favour of alchemy as a means to appeal to Japanese audience. Fullmetal Alchemist was popular at the time, so they had the Belmonts' power stem from alchemy as opposed to being holy warriors of the church. This went on as more and more of the games started dabbling in a pseudo-scientific backstory and setting as opposed to being about the occult.

Holy hell, does the man take notice of those nuances.


Still bummed at no Wii U/3DS version, though there is a hint somewhere that one of the reward tiers might be. Apparently the reason is as follows:

Quote:
 
"*Cough Cough*

WHAT ABOUT NINTENDO?

Our budget left us with two
options: Build the biggest, most beautiful game we can, or make sure it
runs everywhere from the start. As things stand today, we can't afford
to create the two separate versions of this game that would be necessary
to make it run on every console. That said, we've heard legends about a
remarkable treasure hidden in the castle basement..."

Still incredibly fucking sad.

Because WiiU and 3ds are more complex to develop for since they have two screens to consider as well as two additional sets of lower specs than abone and ps4.


Also, it should be noted that this game, much like Banjo Fourie, already has funding. It's 90% funded by a publisher, and the kickstarter is to prove to the publisher that there is worthy interest in an inavania game, as well as help to add more funds for all the features listed in the kickstarter that the devs want to include but couldn't on the publisher's budget alone.

...you mean the SwordOrWhip viral marketing wasn't enough to determine interest? Not mad or anything, just curious.

What kind of irks me, though, is that those screenshots are concept art bullshots, and the actual game is set to be 2.5D, so I have a feeling it won't look anywhere near that awesome. MN9 pulled that shit too and the end result looked so lame by comparison.

Welp, it's not been a full day, but the game has not only met its funding goal, but all of it's stretch goals!

-Artbook will be hardcover
-Another playable character will be added
-A super-hard difficulty will be added
-DAVID MOTHERFUCKIN' HAYTER WILL LEND HIS VOICE! SUCK IT, KOCKNAMI!

Man, I really want this on the Wii U or 3DS. It's bread and butter, but I feel like I'm only getting the butter with no bread to eat it in. ]:

Deep Silver owns the whole IP. And here I thought Koji kickstarted to avoid that kind of situation. =\

No, it was stated that the game has a publisher and would be 90% funded by them, but that they wouldn't go ahead with the project unless IGA could guarantee people would buy the game. That's what the Kickstarter is for.

Yoshitaka Amano, also known as that guy who used to do the sexy artwork for Final Fantasy before VII ruined everything is now attached to the project. Aside from that, watch IGA play the game!

Igavania is an anagram for vaginal...a. I think I know why they call it bloodstained... and why it's a ritual of the night.
It's hard to see what the gameplay looks like, he's just walking back and forth with the screen hardly showing.

Kickstarter surpassed 5.5 million, reached all stretch goals, including the secret one that went up this morning, reaching a half a million goal in less than a fucking day. Another backer unlock was added too, in the form of a "Miriam Pure Costume" if we could hit 60 achievement and we blew it out of the water with 61. This fucking game is done, we made it and then some. Suck it Inafune.

There's also a live stream up with interviews with the team, fun stuff like "Igachievements" where Iga does funny stuff based on achievements set by the streamers for the viewers, etc. It's incredibly fun:

2018? I mean, QA is admirable, don't get me wrong, but nothing I've seen about this game so far screams that it needs two whole years of extra polish. I would've given it til late 2017 at the very latest.

If nothing else, at least they didn't delay it at the last fucking minute like they did Mighty No.
