Yeah, it looks amazing.
cool,
but I do want to see some forest stage, this is to much castle, unless the back part could be the forest type or something.

A forest stage? Since when do Vanias have forest stages?
Granted I haven't played very many.

There's no reason why there can't be a forested stage inside the castle. Dawn of Sorrow had an area like that. I think it was called the "Garden of Madness" or something like that.
Castle 1, 2 had, saturn sotn had a garden section, DoS too.
And hey, Drac needs a place to have his apples

I should give them a pass for misleading people but should complain about the objective quality of half a game? Uhh, no.
Yeah sorry I guess I'm only allowed to say someone's bad with money if it was my money they pissed away, right? And I'm not waiting to "shitpost every time Double Fine is mentioned," I said Broken Age wasn't some shining example of a Kickstarter success. Oh how dare I!

If gameplay is set inside the castle, you won't get much forest, unless they add a gigantic garden area. (which would be pretty awesome)
The castle is the twisted academy/refuge of the Alchemy Guild. I'm sure they need lots of plants for their recepies. So a greenhouse is likely in that castle. That's a bit like a forest?
Could be, yeah. Depends on how it's designed.
Given that the castle appears to be out to sea, I wonder if they'll have a bit of a Rapture thing going on.
It was nice of them to add some more Backer Achievement categories but it still looks like we will hit 2.5 million long before we get the "Basement Key". Tomorrow's updates should be interesting.........
I also still want to know what the outcome of the Sword vs. Whip voting was and what it means for the game.
Yes please! Some animated cutscenes would be cool too! (I'm assuming voice acting for at least English and Japanese are a given)

It looks like shit, the Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears remixes are awful, the boss is lame and the whole area is like 4 rooms long
For once I'm glad the content was cut. The glitchy save point where this was supposed to be is more interesting than the actual thing
On the last Mega64 podcast they talked about meeting Iga and watching how the kickstarter grew during that first day on the all day live stream. Pretty cool discussion.

Sorta like this?
Man, you're just making me sad that the saturn content was never patched in to any sotn re-releases, and also that the saturn version was such a mess.
I really wish we could have seen a rebalanced adult Maria though. She's such a badass in there, but so lame as a kid, which is pretty much her only playable incarnation in every other game.
edit: PSP Maria is only slightly less lame. Chucking owls is the least interesting standard attack in the whole series, oddly enough.
Yeah, it looks amazing.
Wow.
From the screenshots on the kickstarter page I didn't really get this type of vibe, seems like they're going more in the anime Dawn of Sorrow type direction....would be pleasantly surprised if they went with a more darker tone like this though.

Guys, to be clear there are zero screenshots of this game, just concept arts.
Let's avoid another Mighty No 9 dissapointment. We still don't know how the game looks like. We only know how they say they want it to look. Same with MN9 with them showing only concept art and then ppl being let down it didn't look like that.
It was named Nocturne in the Moonlight on ps1 too, so you want sotn to not exist haha?

Art looks great. I hope they're able to pull off the style in 2.5D.

Can someone explain to me what's so bad about the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night? I don't understand why it is not the definitive edition of that game what with it containing 3 playable characters, more items, music and a secret area. Why didn't we ever see that version ever again?
And what's this about Saturn's Maria being broken? I always wanted to play as her. She sounded more fun that Richter.

Agh, a measly $20,500 to go for the last visible stretch goal to be hit. Come uhhhnnn
The Saturn version had some performance issues if I recall, and couldn't do proper transparency. A lot of people think the secret areas are useless, or not up to snuff with the rest of the game (which I think is a little odd, although some of the enemies definitely look out-of-place). Maria looks baller, but she's so OP that playing as her destroys any challenge that the game might've had. She has a spell that both makes her invulnerable and do damage when she touches enemies, and it lasts for like a minute. She also has a spell that just straight up heals her. Her other magic attacks are generally really powerful. She can wreck bosses in a matter of seconds. She's also extremely mobile.
Her animations are really cool though. Lots of kicks and martial arts along with the magic stuff. They reincluded her in the PSP version of the game, but massively nerfed. That wouldn't be so bad, but all of her kung-fu is gone and she just chucks owls again like shes twelve.

From what I've heard, the loading times are abysmal and there's some bad graphical and performance glitches.
However, it could just be a case of IGA not liking that version because he didn't work on it personally. =P

Inverted Castle stretch goal incoming???

Not quite an orchestrated soundtrack, but a welcome goal nonetheless. I like the idea of these mini goals.
Also exciting to see there is a 3m goal there in the basement. I can't wait to see everything down there. Having the biggest castle possible, with no budgetary limitation, is a great goal. That's basically the final assurance that IGA is getting to make exactly the game he wanted to make.

I've reached a point where, other than an orchestrated soundtrack, I can't imagine what other stretch goals there could even be. A Wii U/Vita goal (which is, in essence, a Unity or Unreal 3 port of the game to be done after the fact) feels like it should be the final goal. And boy would I be happy if that was the case.

Where's this now? I'm holding out for a Wii U port.

8 bit songs for classic stages....egads this kickstarter is hitting all the right notes so far.
You can see what is clearly the top of the Wii U logo (note that the U is negative space). Now go give 'em your money!
That most likely will be another stretch goal after the Wii U extension, but I feel the true final
stretch goal would be to bring Kojima (the artist, not the producer) "back from the dead".
Funny to even think about that when the Kickstarter still has 22 days left.

That castle art looks stunning now that I can finally see it clearly. I definitely want those sensibilities to make it into the game. I definitely expected a big castle, but it's nice to have confirmation. Virt, on the other hand, is a huge, and very welcome surprise. I can't wait to hear what he comes up with for this game. I might have to upgrade to the $100 edition for the soundtrack after all.

You're thinking what I'm thinking, my friend.
Virt is awesome, a super welcome addition.
But where my orchestrated soundtrack at. The way they're handling stretch goals "reveals" is incredibly annoying to me. And the next one is a Wii U version? Gah. Is an orchestrated OST even coming?
Also, I dunno how I feel about a Wii U port, it's a UE4 game. Wonder how is it going to be handled.

Ooooh! I hope this pans out. I prefer Classicvania, but IGAvania has its own charm.
Also, I'm super interested in both "Classic" mode and Virt.
