I am happy with what we have in terms of stretch goals, 4.25 million and above is gravy. Though it wouldn't hurt for them to at least do a little more of an outreach to gaming news websites, especially with the gameplay footage they now have (kind of).
Amusingly, even though I was a #sword follower and even a Katana clan initiate, I now have some slight remorse for doing so. Mostly because it apparently boiled down to "here's another Crissaegrim". The katana looks cool, but it seems so weird for us to now know what apparently one of the very best weapons is... Ah well, I'm sure there will be some whip that is pretty darn close to as powerful. Crissaegrim would have made the final fight an absolute cake walk in SotN, I had to hold myself back intentionally by using the Alucard Sword and even then the fight was over in no more than just a few minutes. Mind you, this was about a week ago, the first time finishing SotN, and I ended up only challenged in the end by Galamoth. I'm glad I beat him before figuring out some way to cheese him with no effort, I could refrain from doing it, but ignorance is bliss, you know?
Anyways, let's hope the game's Nightmare difficulty is available from the beginning, or maybe that the game will have just a better difficulty bell curve. I don't know, maybe killing every boss in the inverted castle isn't expected as something the player would bother with the first time around, but I ended up dissapointingly overpowered. Apparently OoE doesn't have that problem, if so, that's another reason why IGA and co should take inspiration from all of the Igavania's, not just SotN. The souls system sounds interesting, so something like that or OoE's runes system sounds awesome, just some thoughts. Oh, and a joke gun weapon that is somewhat easy to miss would be cool and funny. Followed by a "true" version that is very difficult to find, just to mess with people.
Edit:
The first is something I've thought about since the first week. Given its success, a perfect way for the publisher (Spoiler: it's
) to announce itself and get the good faith of the community is to make a public gesture of being moved by the support and "upping its pledge" to fill out the remaining budget necessary for "IGA's unhindered vision". I think it'd be great PR, and would in general be not very unrealistic, all things considered. Only a max of 1 million extra starting from today, with a more likely half a million by this campaign's end. Which is like if they had "pledged" the original budget's 5 million from the beginning, even if the actual total would be a bit less than 9.5 million in total after Kickstarter got their cut.
As for the second part, I am also curious. Sorry I didn't have an answer or anything, just thought it'd be good to bring the the bottom of the last page to the top of this one.
I was also wondering this as well. I just barely have enough for the $150 tier, and that's with borrowing money from my brother. I'd only just barely have $100 otherwise, and a clarification on this subject would be very appreciated from me.
Also, it looks like we'll see (hear) Miriam's voice actress after the campaign has ended. Oh well, at the very least, it would likely mean that she'll actually be auditioned for rather than simply being presented as fan service. I mean that in the non-sexual way, I thought I should clarify, like David Hayter and Robert Belgrade. I just want to hear what our MC sounds like, but we are all left in the cold for now...
Edit 2:
Who else hopes there are bow and arrow type weapons? All the ranged disposable items in SotN were so tempting, but were never worth using up, as even farming for spears would still only give you enough for just a few enemies even after lots of time. It would be pretty cool to have something ranged, in addition to whatever they probably have as the "sub-weapon" fill-in, so a bow and arrow or something similar would be great. Magical rock and sling? An actual slingshot? A crossbow would fit well I think? Oh, and like I said earlier, a joke gun, followed by a very secretive powerful one would be a great joke I think.
