Koji Igarashi Kickstarts Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (2.5D, backdash, 2018)
- Thread starter PranooY
- Start date
It would be strange for it not to explicitly mention coop though, no?
"2nd playable character" doesn't necessarily imply coop.
Nah.
Aria of Sorrow = SotN > Order of Ecclesia > Portrait of Ruin > Dawn of Sorrow > Harmony of Dissonance
Uh, you mean the other way around, right? Those >'s aren't used in the way you're using them.
I like how gamers themselves created the angle of buying this because of the Konami situation. I do hope they dont try to turn this into a tv show or have sequel plans already.

I wish him the best of luck and I'm sure he'll get all the funding he needs but I think I'll pass on this one. I like seeing Kickstarter being used as a means of funding spiritual successors from acclaimed developers, though. It's nice to see that such projects can exist in this day and age.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah, the GAF/Evilore presence in Pillars is really well done and if you don't know what it is you would have no reason to think it wasn't just part of the game world invented by Obsidian.
3D models and backgrounds on a 2D plane.
Think Street Fighter 4, Guilty Gear Xrd, Ultimate Ghosts n' Ghoblins etc.

If you honestly want to know what's wrong with MN9-style Kickstarters, this image sums it up:
What am I supposed to be looking for in this picture, exactly?

10 years ago, thinking about crownfounding a Koji Igarashi game would have been impossible.
the portraits

You do realize that the images shown are only "concept" art right? It could look vastly different by release once they implement in with the UE4.
I hope it stays the way it is though!

... Except that it did.
I think it still looks bad and kind of out of place in Shovel Knight.
The low fidelity of the graphics make it look less horrible than the one in MN9
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Sound like the "Yes Movement", friend. Grown ass men ate that shit up.
Correct. It'll probably be a Richter level character a la Richter Mode in SotN and DoS.
People expecting Co-op in a primarily single-player focused series/genre need to GTFO, IMO. Stop ruining things I love with forced co-op, damn it.

half million is such a small amount of money for this.

not gonna lie, I noticed them too and I didn't follow the KS. I was like "oh, here's the backer area"
Depends on the context. They worked great in Shovel Knight, mostly because of the game's humor; I loved the obvious pokes at the backers and how you have to pay an exorbitant sum of money just to enter the area.

What is going on with Mighty Not Megaman that people are so distrustful of IntiCreate and this kickstarter? I remember liking the Z games and MM9/10 were well received. Figured it was in good hands.
Is it just the original concept screenshots for the game being completely different than the final product(in a bad way) or is it something else as well?

Or grown men who wear John Cena gear. Both are deplorable.
You're not getting avatar quoted in here, brother!

Did you watch the video? They don't even need the half million. Someone else is footing the actual development bill for this project. The half million is just to prove that there is any sort of demand for this.
Its kind of skeezy.
some people don't like backer images in the games. I don't really care, tbh.

It could... but it won't. Look at MN9. They have a "style" they are working from. I wouldn't expect DRASTIC changes. It will get a concept art -> implementation change to make the art work in UE, but it won't change into SOTN somehow. I remain cautiously optomistic. But Igavania is great I'm just sad this is the art direction it is going in.

huh, well I'll consider myself grateful that it skipped past the Gunvolt style then.

Looks like poo for a game that raised 3 million dollars.

Besides the portrait art, where else was that evident?

This isn't a problem when pushing E! Network programming, but if that makes its way into other media, that's where it gets weird - hence the MN9 screenshot that is very, very jarring. Not that I have much faith in that game of being worth playing, but that's really jarring to see.

Now can we have someone make a gif of Iga saying that?
Exactly my point. Outside the boxart and the occasional portrait, Kojima's artwork or lack there of doesn't impact the game itself.
Who is this someone exactly?
People are graphics whoring on a kickstarter project, it's silly. Might No. 9 was never going to be a looker and neither is this.

The limitations of a low-res 2D sprite game.
Also, the sprite wasn't overflowing with the amazingness of Kojima's original concept art. If it weren't for the fact we already know Soma and co. were originally designed by Kojima, there's nothing in the sprite work that makes it uniquely Kojima.

Uh huh.

I meant the art style of the actual sprites.
The sprites for this game look like a flash anime game, the sprites for past Castlevania games don't.
Hmmm, is this honourable?
