I always feel like WiiU for these projects is out of some sort of tradition rather than a WiiU being people's only way to play the game.

 

[Frumix]

I think there should be a concern, but not as much. MN9 is coming out to pretty much every console lol, so the graphics had to take a hit to ensure that.

Mobiles as well IIRC?
I blame mobiles.

 

[Voror]

I'm curious how long he had the core concept for this since it sounded like he was looking for a while to find someone to publish.

 

[ArjanN]

Sweet, they're trying to find a way to get shadow complex on other platforms!

Yeah, he basically just confirmed Shadow Complex coming to PC. Threadworthy?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Wii U/Vita please, like God intended.

Shadow Complex, not Bloodstained

 

[element]

Doesn't this kinda change the whole concept of kickstarter?

If we get X amount of dollars that will prove to a publisher we have been talking with and they will give us even more money to make the game.

 

[Toxi]

Yeah, he basically just confirmed Shadow Complex coming to PC.

Holy shit, really?

That's amazing.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I would've opted for a Wii U version if it was available just for offscreen play. Kind of sucks they couldn't get it done.

 

[Crocodile]

I can't read this whole thread, but has it been mentioned that the actual budget for the game is about $5M, and the KS is just to show that there's demand to get the rest of the money from their secret publisher?

Some people missed it but others in the thread have showed up to clarify this. Thanks goodness Iga mentioned the outside funding in the video but we are all human and people will still miss details.

I still want to know who this mystery publisher is

 

[wrowa]

Does it mean that the real budget of the game is 5m? This would be great.

I wish he'd be more transparent about this. Being honest to your backers should be a vital part of crowdfunding, but I feel like he's not quite telling the whole story about this publisher thing.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I hope there is a 3rd playable character goal so we can get all three

This, I was gonna say why not both.

 

[Shard]

Yeah, he basically just confirmed Shadow Complex coming to PC. Threadworthy?

New news is new news.

 

[Voror]

I swear this isn't the first time I've heard about something like this with Kickstarter, but can't recall what else there was.

 

[Portugeezer]

Ooohh, Shadow Complex possibly coming to other platforms?

Stealth Shadow Complex PC release, piggybacking on Bloodstained hype

I wish, I would buy it again. It was a slip of the tongue.

 

[Hesemonni]

Yeah, he basically just confirmed Shadow Complex coming to PC. Threadworthy?

What. WHAT? WHAT?!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

They've been reiterating that they have an interested publisher who wants an additional push, a proof that there's market for this game, and that ks money are only a part of the funding.

What if that 3rd party ended up being Konami...

 

[hawk2025]

Yeah, he basically just confirmed Shadow Complex coming to PC. Threadworthy?

There was no confirmation. He claimed they were looking into it.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I always feel like WiiU for these projects is out of some sort of tradition rather than a WiiU being people's only way to play the game.

Does it upset you that much that indie games do well on the Wii U? That the market potential for indie releases is comparable to, if not bigger than, the Xbox One's?

 

[Stone Ocean]

I wish he'd be more transparent about this. Being honest to your backers should be a vital part of crowdfunding, but I feel like he's not quite telling the whole story about this publisher thing.

NDAs and shit. If he said anything it could probably mean any contracts he signed are donezo and the money goes poof

 

[Graphics Horse]

I swear this isn't the first time I've heard about something like this with Kickstarter, but can't recall what else there was.

I thought Republique was notorious for it, I'm sure there will have been others.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Shadow Complex on more platforms, interesting.

Would be fun for sure. I never got to play it.

 

[Mr. RPG]

It doesn't look anything like Castlevania to me. I really don't like the art style at all.

 

[Frumix]

What if that 3rd party ended up being Konami...

Konami isn't interested in video games.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I wish he'd be more transparent about this. Being honest to your backers should be a vital part of crowdfunding, but I feel like he's not quite telling the whole story about this publisher thing.

He's being honest enough by saying the game has outside funding.

There's NDAs and shit.

 

[Crocodile]

Are Shadow Complex and Gucameele on the PS3?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Are Shadow Complex and Gucameele on the PS3?

Guacamelee yes

Shadow Complex no

 

[red720]

Not into the art direction. At all.


This is why I play Castlevania. The continued animefying of the art pretty much pushed me out.

The art style is more colourfull and cartoony than I'd like, but then I listened to the two sample music tracks and backed the project immediately!

 

[Voror]

I thought Republique was notorious for it, I'm sure there will have been others.

That might have been it.



On a side note, I finally listened to the tracks from Yamane and Yamada and those are fantastic!

 

[ArjanN]

There was no confirmation. He claimed they were looking into it.

Notice I said 'basically', but it wasn't exactly subtle.

 

[Ravidrath]

Some people missed it but others in the thread have showed up to clarify this. Thanks goodness Iga mentioned the outside funding in the video but we are all human and people will still miss details.

I still want to know who this mystery publisher is

I know who it is, but wish they'd been transparent about it.

The only reason they weren't makes me think they think it's a liability.

My main concern, though, is that everyone understands that games cost money to make and have a sense of what the real budget of this game is.

 

[Rodolink]

IGA is getting the collective knowledge of all those games to build the ultimate greatest IGAVANIA

(on twitch, playing SC now)

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Main character lady looks dope as hell. I can't wait for this.

 

[Smellycat]

Additional $33,000 in the last 20 minutes --> still tracking at $100,00 / hour

 

[Toxi]

Are Shadow Complex and Gucameele on the PS3?

Shadow Complex is unfortunately only on Xbox live arcade.

 

[Buzzati]

Should backers be concerned of the potential visual fidelity Bloodstained will have considering Inti Creates also has a hand in that game?

Generally, I'd be willing to vouch that 2D Castlevania fans aren't indebted to the new standards of frame and pixel counting that dopaminergic and vapid gamers have demanded in the past 10 years.

 

[Majmun]

I'm psyched Yamane is in the game. The theme is pretty great.

 

[Aeana]

I can't read this whole thread, but has it been mentioned that the actual budget for the game is about $5M, and the KS is just to show that there's demand to get the rest of the money from their secret publisher?

That's in the pitch video, so it's not a secret.

 

[Dreamwriter]

The art style is more colourfull and cartoony than I'd like, but then I listened to the two sample music tracks and backed the project immediately!

There's a secret third music track - the song that plays during the Kickstarter video was composed by Michiru Yamane

 

[Metalingus5150]

I know who it is, but wish they'd been transparent about it.

The only reason they weren't makes me think they think it's a liability.

EA?

Comcept?

 

[a harpy]

It doesn't look anything like Castlevania to me. I really don't like the art style at all.

Personally it reminds me of a mix between the DS Castlevanias and a Vanillaware game.

 

[Vire]

Does it upset you that much that indie games do well on the Wii U? That the market potential for indie releases is comparable to, if not bigger than, the Xbox One's?

It doesn't upset me at all. What upsets me is the game being potentially hamstrung because they have to make sure the game works on multiple engines.

If you look at Mighty Number 9, it couldn't use Unreal Engine 4 because they are making it on every known platform to man. I'd like to see this game actually take advantage of UE4 since it's a really amazing engine, Wii U pervades it from doing that.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

The fact it's Inti who's developing the game excites me more than it being the Castlevania successor.

 

[direct_quote]

What about an inverse castle goal? I'd pay money for that..

 

[Grief.exe]

Whoa whoa whoa

Shadow Complex PC version?

 

[Nirolak]

I can't read this whole thread, but has it been mentioned that the actual budget for the game is about $5M, and the KS is just to show that there's demand to get the rest of the money from their secret publisher?

I wonder who their publisher is. Deep Silver perhaps?

I don't know if 505 Games has $5 million to fund a game like this.

I'm kind of assuming it's a niche Western publisher given they wanted a kickstarter to even happen, but are willing to fund a bunch for a game like this.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Does it upset you that much that indie games do well on the Wii U? That the market potential for indie releases is comparable to, if not bigger than, the Xbox One's?

Why would that upset anybody?

DON'T reveal it to ANYONE

We don't want to ruin things

 

[Shard]

You know Iga is taking mental notes right now.

 

[Stone Ocean]

DON'T reveal it to ANYONE

We don't want to ruin things

Ravi should know that better than anyone after the whole Juju clusterfuck

Seriously fuck that guy for breaking the contract
