Support NeoGAF

[Ryuukan]

Cake is too anime, withdrawing my pledge

 

[tim.mbp]

Now we wait...

 

[Grief.exe]

Is there one for each platform?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Any idea when it's supposed to launch?

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'd kill for a white PS4 with stained glass motifs

is this outpacing Yooka-Laylee?

No but it's probably outpacing 90% of all kickstarters, I'd say

 

[Chopper]

Fuck yeah! It's been too long.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Haha, funded almost instantly.

 

[Shard]

is this outpacing Yooka-Laylee?

No.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I'm surprised that the KindaFunny stream didn't take the opportunity to show Iga's reaction as it hit the 500k mark.

 

[BadWolf]

These celebration artworks are neat.

 

[wrxsti22brockz]

insanely fast

 

[s_mirage]

I'll probably end up backing this but I'm not a fan of that first stretch goal. A first stretch goal that's only beneficial to those who back at the $150+ level is a questionable decision if you ask me.

 

[Ainaurdur]

I surprised myself, had to jump in for $175.

Expected to cap it at $100.
Though I really would love to get a Ring of Iga, can't drop $7.5k right now. Heh.

 

[Toki767]

I'm just going to wait till it hits the next tier, and then maybe spring for the art book since it'll be hardcover.

 

[stan423321]

No way. They got funded in 40 minutes, right?

Playtonic asked for less cash to be precise, but yeah, they got funded way faster.

 

[Crocodile]

Yeah since that was a subtle way of me asking what she's working on these days because I really miss her art.

Fair enough. Maybe we'll hear from her soon.

is this outpacing Yooka-Laylee?

It's not a competition LOL

But the answer is no

No way. They got funded in 40 minutes, right?

$500k > 175k Pounds

 

[A-V-B]

In 3 hours, half a million is pretty strong. And that's just the initial backing. This will go for a month, and then of course there's also actual game sales. I'm sure Konami will indeed be weeping by the time this is over. Your sarcasm is misplaced.

They literally won't be upset at all. They're out of this because they're tired spending money on big games. If it's a success, they'll see it on a newspaper headline and disregard it.

It really, really isn't their business anymore. Unless they want to try and sue Iga or something.

 

[Krusenstern]

It's insane how fast this got funded.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Funnily enough, I backed for $100 because I love the little flower pin.

I'll probably sell the art book.

 

[Hitokiri03]

No Ayami Kojima

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I needs me that physical PS4 copy!

 

[The Lamonster]

I like her stained glass tattoos.

 

[Skilletor]

No Ayami Kojima

Yet.

 

[Wishmaster92]

badass

It took three hours to fund a game konami won't make

In that time, Konami produced 50,000 Castlevania-related decals for their new pachinko machine line.

ok dead.

 

[goldenpp72]

If I wanted 3 physical versions how would I handle that?

 

[Firemind]

No Ayami Kojima

No Belmonts

Call them Beaumonts or something.

 

[emb]

Physical edition right from the start? Color me impressed.

I'll back it.

They mention discs, but hopefully I don't get burned with a better physical edition right out of the gate, ala MN09.

 

[Danielsan]

No Ayami Kojima

I won't back it until she's on the team (I'm happy they've reached the initial goal though).

 

[Foffy]

Konami made a grave mistake in assuming 2D Metroidvania was dead.

It's more alive than their own reboot is.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

.

 

[Crankshaft]

You say that now until E3 hits and Konami announces Circle of the Moon 2!

 

[Aaronrules380]

I'm guessing they'll reveal the nintendo stretch goal once they get the 50 backer achievements based on the kickstarter page

 

[vilmer_]

http://www.twitch.tv/kindafunnygames

Iga is back in the stream.

 

[Frumix]

Special edition PS4s don't do images on that side of the box.
Immersion shattered.

 

[Stike]

It took three hours to fund a game konami won't make

That irony, really. I backed it too, can't wait to see the result.

About the price: 28$ is a good price for a small project. I don't understand the (few) complaints here.

 

[A-V-B]

You say that now until E3 hits and Konami announces Circle of the Moon 2!

As a free to play mobile game linked to pachinko machines via wifi?

 

[tirkaroKujo]

Wow, my phone couldn't really load any of the kickstarter's images, so going by this thread, I figured that the art was some generic Lords of Shadow looking crap.
The actual art looks far more in line with the Castlevania spirit, and Miriam is a qt. That's the last time I listen to gaf about these things.

Spoiler

Then again I also don't think MN9 looks all that bad so maybe I'm just a pleb.

Anyway, 3 cheers for stupidly quick funding. I'm so hype rn (✿´‿`).

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Hype overload. Gonna watch the stream now. Oh, how I have been waiting for this.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I'm guessing they'll reveal the nintendo stretch goal once they get the 50 backer achievements based on the kickstarter page

Wii U doesn't support Unreal 4 so don't count on it.

 

[Bizzquik]

Not into the art direction. At all.
The continued animefying of the art pretty much pushed me out.

Unfortunately, I agree with this. The villain from 'Curse of Darkness' - Isaac - really left a bad taste in my mouth.

C'mon now - admit it. That ridiculous outfit is more funny than scary.

Nonetheless, I backed this at $28.

 

[Shouta]

Damn, i was gonna make my contribution when i got back but lol, they already funded it. I wanted to be a part of the initial run. ;_;

Oh well, how much to back. Some of those higher ones seem kinda fun.

 

[LiK]

join the stretch goal!

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

If I wanted 3 physical versions how would I handle that?

when pledging the 60$ tier change the amount to 180$ though it is better to ask them directly in the comments section of the KS page just in case (they could give discounts but i doubt it)

 

[Stone Ocean]

Unfortunately, I agree with this. The villain from 'Curse of Darkness' - Isaac - really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Isaac was designed by Ayami Kojima lol

 

[weevles]

Physical edition right from the start? Color me impressed.

I'll back it.

They mention discs, but hopefully I don't get burned with a better physical edition right out of the gate, ala MN09.

They did mention there was already a financial backer, but that entity wanted to see what the fan reaction was going to be before fully committing to the project.

Honestly, I'm not surprised the KS met goal and did it rather quickly, but it seems like the accountants and purse string holders need that in black and white. KS has replaced the power point presentation that VCs and other moneyhats believe in.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Wii U doesn't support Unreal 4 so don't count on it.

I'm basing it off the "secret treasure hidden in the basement" comment, combined with the way stretch goals are shown in the KS (They're layered from lowest to most money going down a castle. If a final stretch goal was added, it would be the "basement" of the castle)

 

[Rymuth]

Damn, i was gonna make my contribution when i got back but lol, they already funded it. I wanted to be a part of the initial run. ;_;

Oh well, how much to back. Some of those higher ones seem kinda fun.

The $300 is rather tempting. Maybe go for one tier and up it later on?

 

[AlphaDragoon]

That's awesome that it got funded so quick. Still throwing some money in when I can to support Iga.

The Miriam with the PS4 picture is freaking adorable by the way.

 

[georly]

A generic, big titted anime girl in a gothic lolita fetish costume is not what I wanted.

Buzzwords? I don't recall using any, actually. And yeah, big titted.

WTF are you talking about?

Miriam

I don't see what you're talking about...?

Oh nvm. Sorry.

 

[Delusibeta]

is this outpacing Yooka-Laylee?

Falling behind, but reasonably competitive. Yooka-Laylee hit a million dollars in a little under seven hours, this hit half a million in three and a half.
