Yeah, but in Japan you don't sign stuff, you have a seal (not the animal. lol). And they could speed things up buy building a makeshift stamp version of it. So you could have 10 assistants working simultaneously on 150 boxes. Soooo, two hours tops?

As often as I see Yooka-Laylee posted in here, why doesn't the kickstarter thread for it pop up that much?
I'd like to post in it, I'm too lazy to do a search for it.

Because igavania fans are crazier and more obsessed than banjo kazooie fans?
But seriously, it's because the bloodstained kickstarter has more updates than yooka laylee and we still haven't hit all the stretch goals. Yooka's kickstarter basically already filled out their stretch goals, so there's not much left from them until they start posting more gameplay updates and videos.

Nooooooooooooooooooo they aren't
Have you even SEEN Banjo fans?
It's more so that Bloodstained has more appealing stretch goals (and is a more appealing game...) but also that its pricing tiers are more enticing than YL.
I'll probably end up getting YL as well but I won't go anywhere near the 175 I put down for Bloodstained because I don't really care that much about YL at all.

Really?
What if it ends up being something else?
A) The second ask IGA was posted a few days ago. It's short so I won't really recap it. One interesting tidbit is that IGA says he intends to pull from a wide range of mythologies for enemies and locales and name drops the Lesser Key of Solomon (a real life book about demons). From Wikipedia, the following is a demon described in that book:
Look familiar?
B) The second Playism podcast was posted a few days ago. Topics of discussion include the beginnings of the kickstarter and the general reaction to it. They also name drop that they have been reading GAF
Then they go a bit into the costs of running a kickstarter and really hammer the point home that there are "megatons" in the "basement". Finally the conversation moves into the music of Castlevania and Bloodstained and wraps up with an interview with Yamane about her overall career and what she wants/intends to do in Bloodstained. As an aside, and I'm sure Ravidrath wil be pleased to hear if he's still reading the thread, is that Yamane says that the work she's done on Skullgirls is the work she's been most proud of since leaving Konami.
It's a good listen so check it out if you have time. Also enjoy this fanart below:

I dunno, man. What if vanilla ice cream tasted like chocolate ice cream?
Best use of the Lesser Key I've ever seen is still Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant. I hope Iga can blow me away.

Just checked Instagram and we're running really low on gargoyle pictures!
I want those 3 achievements to reveal all the dungeon stretch goals

Can anyone tell me what is the best way/platform to play Symphony of the Night? Missed it first time around and really want to get around to playing it.
Was gonna make a thread but this seems to be a good place to ask.

The original PSX classic is available on PSN for PS3 and Vita. $10 I think.

Excellent, would be perfect for the Vita assuming there's no major FF6-style issues.
It's okay. All her piano playing has hardened her
for fan signings I'm pretty sure most do it by hand. never seen or heard about using hanko for that.

If you're planning to play it on your Vita I'd recommend getting Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) digitally. It contains also SotN in a sorta Director's Cut edition complete with a new third playable character that's unavailable on the PS1 Original.
It's up to you which version you get. Of course the PSP one is not playable on a PS3.

Nah, it runs well. Was just playing it the other day.
Also note though that Dracula X Chronicles for PSP has SotN as an unlockable with extra stuff.
Fake edit: beaten.

I'd recommend the PSP version if it wasn't for the retranslation. To get the full SOTN experience you need to play it with the original dub for the first time.

I actually haven't played the PSP version. How much of the charmingly bad Engrish got axed? SE was cool enough to leave the "spoony bard" line in every retranslation of FF4.

A talk about how Arc System Works made Xrd's look since they said they were going to research games like it to achieve a 2D feel for Bloodstained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGjCzxJV3E
It's pretty interesting! 2 months to model and an additional 2 months for animation sounds rough though.

Take one look at the FAQ of this Kickstarter project and it's quite obvious that this is the Wii U stretch goal:
If that's not obvious enough for any doubter out there, then I really don't know what else to say.
Iga also doesn't have a reputation for going over budget and overtime. I think. So that bodes well that the funds would be enough. He doesn't seem to be the sort of person who over scopes projects and the game type can grow in content linearly.
It's certainly not cakewalk, but it's much more economical and realistic than SNKP's method for KOF12 and 13, where they made a 3D model and then drew the individual character animations by hand. No wonder it took like each character the equivalent of a year to be realized.
All the reason I'm hoping others are taking notes from how Arc did, if they haven't already.

Why is the 2,700,000 crossed out when it hasn't been reached?
PayPal donations?
Bjoern the Smexy

As Skilletor said, people who donated by PayPal don't pop up in the overall feed.
I paid via PayPal and the total didn't change when I did.
Paying via PayPal also doesn't set you on the mailing list for project updates which is a little stupid
Somehow I only just noticed
I'm so glad to've gotten an extra part in this.
Anyway, has there been any mention of a slacker backer/post KS support thing? I really don't have the cash available for one of the really nice tiers right now, but I'd like to try for one maybe a few months from now.

Who knows, funding after the campaign doesn't affect the scope since it would require very expensive replanning. Your only option would be to buy it in 2 years when it's out.
Unless they decide to make some money on the side.

Dracula ethering religion is still one of most memorable lines in games so many years later.
Alucard's re-dubbed voice is so lame. It irks me that they didn't even try for a Robert Belgrade esque baritone in either the redub, Judgement, or Harmony of Despair.
The other voices are super forgettable too, and the writing is mostly just... different. Not better or worse. I guess I prefer the hammy delivery. There's so much less excitement and gravity in the new delivery.

K I think i'm going to bite and back at the $175 tier. (really wished I didn't give MN9 so much money cause i'd rather have put it towards this lol...)
One question though, is the art book going to be soft covered or hard covered?
The pledge description says it'll be soft but their infograph of the pledge tiers say it's going to be hard?
