Well, exactly. You probably won't have that luxury with higher resolution 2.5D art.

You know what would be interesting, A Igavania game, that has layered 2D maps.
Like maps on top of maps
Like in Valkyrie Profile for example
Instead going into room after room traversing left or right, there were also doors into the background and foreground you could go into and it would be it's own separate map layer.
I would have liked another 2D game to use this style of exploration / map progression.

3 million dollars (minus fees & reward expenses) is a pretty modest XBLA game budget. It's not this huge amount.
Really? I thought the boxart was right in line with the games art
You simply don't see what they look like because they are that low-res.
They are a faithful representation of the anime style of the game at very low fidelity.
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.
It should be noted that, had they had the resolution to do so, the sprites would look more like the box art.

Well, decided on the Alchemist Treasure.
I just needed my name in the credits.
Now we wait....... ugh.

i can't make gif's sorry...anybody else?....
this is so perfect for a text swap..
konami was a mistake
it's nothing but trash
I remember them having a very similar style to the games that were character designed by Kojima.

Awesome, and I love the new art style!
Definitely in for a physical copy.

You know, I'd be much more willing to support these Kickstarter projects if developers didn't just make spiritual successors to the games they are famous for, just with the names changed to avoid copyright infringement.
I can't wait for Kojima to begin crowdsourcing his first post-Konami project, a cinematic stealth action game where you play as a rugged American spy named Firm Salamander.

Maybe it's just me, but not really feeling the choice of protagonist, it'd be one thing if she actually looked like a fighter, but it's another to have her dressed in skimpy schoolgirl looking anime outfits, just doesn't "fit" right to me.
Look at the Belmonts/Arucard, they always looked like they fit, like they were hunters vampires that came prepared in the context of the game.
This character looks like a generic anime schoolgirl that doesn't seem to fit within the context of the game world and what she's doing.
Just not a huge fan of over sexualized female protagonist that look out of place.
Still hope those that are helping get it funded enjoy it.

I need to see some game play. I would go in on the 60 tier, probably. That is if I liked what I saw.

The art direction of ingame assets is exactly following the SOTN style amd of course almost everybody complained about the shitty anime look until they fixed it with Order of Ecclesia
Mighty No. 9 raised 3 mil? Damn. DAMN.
Since it's Unreal Engine 4, surely someone will mod the "sprite" of characters and enemies into things you want.
But that's exactly why most people do support them.

Ok, it looks significantly worse than similar games. Like Red Goddess or the Trine games.

I know right? I have no idea where that money actually went. Because that screenshot ain't tellin me anything.
This is the risk you take putting your game on KS and pretending to make people feel they're involved.
Yeah, I am not a fan. Very dull, looks like something that didn't even go through many iterations.
That said I will play this. Oh yes. I will play this.
They're going for Shanoa 2.0 there but Shanoa did look better than this.

Very excited to have you back, Igarashi.

Did you play Batman Blackgate? It wasn't quite like that...but it was sort of similar iirc, and it was pretty bad to navigate.

While this seems pretty cool, the concept gameplay looks like a mobile game to me.
We need one with the wine glass being thrown, if possible.

This is quite literally my dream game. Like, I envisioned a game that I wanted to make, some day, as a pipe dream sort of project, that worked like contra but as a metroid style game, and had multiple map layers. I remember it like it was yesterday but I came up with that concept like 12-13 years ago.
ideas are cheap, implementation is expensive.
