Koji Igarashi Kickstarts Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (2.5D, backdash, 2018)
- Thread starter PranooY
- Start date
To be fair, I think that has a lot to do with the near annualization of the franchise that Konami forced on IGA (and the budget constraints that followed). Critically, Order of Eccelsia is still considered one of the best in the series. The quality didn't disappear, gamers just got fatigued. Don't give them their fix for a few years and you get.......this Kickstarter.
Even though the games were annualized, Dawn, Aria and Ecclesia are still among my favorite games of all time, and so is SOTN obviously
(see my post above)

Top founded game in the videogame category.
Seriously, if this happened just a year afterwards I either wouldn't care or would be like "meh, I like them enough."
Now? I realized we'd actually been waiting longer than we had for quite awhile, and now playing OoE is great.

So instead of that vacation, you're helping to craft history. That passion is how we have a civilization to look upon. I mean think about it, for ages great artists had ruling class benefactors, but now we have the systems for society to handle it themselves. Cheers.
By a large measure too.
Yeah, some, feel free to leave ideas here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1045786
It's not that I'm rich, it's just that I figured I'd let future me worry about it
Thanks, man.

Speaking of DS IGAvanias, Nintendo needs to put them on the Wii U VC already.

Ah yeah, I remember that thread. I lurked but I have no ideas worth $2000. Good luck to both of you.

Backed this through kickstarter at the last minute. $60 for the physical version. Glad I did and can't wait for this to come out!

Is a Chakram in the game. Or a large throwing disc.
I was wondering if there was some sort of restriction the type of weapon allowed.
I was thinking maybe a Chakram which two halves was in the colors of the GAF logo

Going to just take time, honestly. Time to GIS all kinds of swords/weapons/etc, find something you like, then 'bloodstain it' with the stain glass/etc.
Would help if we knew what all classes of weapons the game will have. We know of whips, swords, and hammers, but what about knuckles? Tonfas? Axes? Polearms? etc.

time to bring that thread from the dead!
I distinctly remember it leading to a golden idea regarding a taco.

This sounds good
Yeah I have bought quite a few shirts and things from them over the years. Their quality and customer service are second to none. <3

I have no idea how to actually use Photoshop and I'm a terrible artist to boot but this is a very crude and early concept of how Miriam's magical girl staff might look.
If anybody knows of a good freeform drawing application to use on a Surface Pro 2 you should let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Fantastic! It's going to be a bit more even, because this doesn't take into account paypal pledges.

I wonder how duckroll feels right now
I'll give him a kick if his corpse ever stops twitching.
From the best we've been able to piece together from interviews and the staff list, something in the range of $3-5 million.

I can see the reviews now. "Wow what an amazing game. Except for that one weapon what were they thinking." The future of this games lies on you nynt9.*gulps*
GAF SHOUTOUT!!!
Edit: Damn shouldn't have freaked out
Look at that KickStarter counter go
Loving the stream, those guys got some amazing energy or just drunk (either way I'm enjoying it).
There was a shout out at NeoGAF, so apparently they have been following us.
I called that, although I suppose enough people watch this place it wasn't exactly a huge leap jumping to that conclusion.
For what it's worth, I'm hugely in favor of this project but still against that content being restricted to backers.

As a fan of Fate/kaleid liner PrismaIllya, I approve so much.

I just happened to pick Kaleido Ruby as the base for this concept because I'm familiar with it's appearance and I can imagine how a "stained glass" version of it might look. I'm sure the art team at Inti Creates can make a much better looking version of this though, thank God.

Woke up and saw that we just so broke the $5.5 mil stretch goal with regular funding alone! That is so brutally awesome I don't even know what to say.
I can't wait for this game.
I can't wait for this game.
Thought I'd tally up everything that was funded/unlocked for the game for easy, at-a-glance reference since the stretch goal image is enormous and the details are scattered across a couple dozen updates.
Some of this is standard IGAvania stuff, but a lot of it isn't. Game's gonna be huge.
- A new IGAvania
- The largest IGAvania
- Extra boss - Releasing on PC/PS4/XB1/Wii U/Vita
- Prequel minigame on said platforms and 3DS
- Three playable characters
- Nightmare difficulty
- New game plus
- Local campaign co-op
- Async online features
- Stat lending, player ghosts for bosses, player graves, +??? - Orchestrated music
- Guest voice actor: David Hayter
- Cheat codes
- Silly cheat codes - Bonus costume
- Retro area
- Speed run mode
- "Features to help speedrunners plan the perfect route" - Boss rush mode
- Classic mode:
- Six linear stages, no RPG elements
- 8-bit music for classic mode
-- Two 8-bit tracks guest starring Virt - Challenge mode
- Online, co-op, versus; specially designed stages with extra powerful bosses - Roguelike mode
- Procedural dungeons, sharable seeds - Boss mode
- Playable bosses versus the heroes in a new area
Some of this is standard IGAvania stuff, but a lot of it isn't. Game's gonna be huge.
Yeah, it's really impressive. I'm so proud to be a part of this.

A magical girl transformation rod would be hilarious. Need to find out if there is a shield rod style thing that could be done.
Like for say, using the rod triggers different actions based on the armor you are wearing. Or maybe it's a simple as it taking a ton of mana to use it's 'special' which triggers Magical Gothic Princess Miriam-chan mode for 30 seconds.

I would demand that Inti Creates add a stock magical girl transformation animatic but I suspect that's going to be beyond the limits of what a game weapon backer can ask for lol
Please tell me it glitters/sparkles when you swing it. If so...BEST WEAPON EVER!I have no idea how to actually use Photoshop and I'm a terrible artist to boot but this is a very crude and early concept of how Miriam's magical girl staff might look.

How about like some flaming daggers and when you attack the fire turns into the shape of a dragon's head attacking the enemies.
Dude. So happy about Bloodstained hitting 5.5 and being the new king of gaming kickstarters. IN YOUR FACE, KONAMI! I watched the last 15 mins of their stream as they counted down and it was so nice to see the staff hanging out having champaign and treats. Warmed my heart. Very happy to be a backer

A naginata would be cool. It's a relatively uncommon weapon in metroidvanias.
