Koji Igarashi Kickstarts Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (2.5D, backdash, 2018)

Great! Now where can I see Iga cosplaying?
(or did he already do it and I missed it? =X)

Anyway, out of those goals, I hope the extra characters and roguelike dungeon are good enough to keep me playing this game for a long time.

Congrats to Iga and everyone involved!
 
They should announce a last minute stretch goal lol

At $5.5M, IGA will print out the front page of the Kickstarter campaign, circle the final amount in red marker, walk into Konami headquarters and rub the printout in the face of any execs he finds. Filmed by 2 Player Productions.
 
If this is anything to go by, I think we will be alright
EARLY gameplay test footage with IGA critique

EDIT: The prototype isn't 2D, they're already using 3D models

What do you mean? This is 3d models. Just celshading.

Edit: Or is the cellshaders what you mean?

These are 3D models though.

iight my bad dawg, i should've been more clearer, koji knew what i mean. they could just go fuck that and do some sloppy models instead
 
I've been procrastinating contributing to the Kickstarter since I'm still not sure which two platforms I would want the game on. When you pledge, do you have to choose right away? Or just at some point before the game is finished and releases?

Time to double my pledge

Not now, at some point later. Pledge away!

Possibly 6-8 months before release.

Very happy to see this being so successful despite not really being a fan of the Castletroids. Iga seems really passionate about making games the right way and I can't help but support that. I'm in for 60$ but I may upgrade to 100$ for the Kojima art.
 
WWHHHHOOOOOHHHHOOOOO!!!! Congrats everybody!! We DID IT!!!

Can't wait for the stream tonight!

Just a quick question: Do I have to pick a PC version to get access to the Beta?? I am really leaning towards getting PS4, Wii U, and PS Vita vita versions... But then I really want to get a taste of the Beta... Would I have to change one of those to PC to do so?

Bloodstained > Castlevania

I'm finally moving on and ready to accept this next chapter!

Best stretch goal ever
 
Last comment from Ben Judd on the KS page is hilarious:) (about fact only vg record left is biggest last day push)

One last thing before we show you the final update... Right now Project Eternity has the biggest last day increase of 625K... We can't have that now can we, Army of the Night? ...and after you see the last update... I'm sure you won't want that either!

The cosplaying thing is going to happen on Halloween.
 
Can't believe he passed away this weekend :(


What does Roguelike dungeon mode mean?

A true roguelike typically has procedurally generated rooms and permanent character death as its main defining traits. Rooms are made randomly, resulting in a different experience every time you play it, and if you die, your character progress is wiped out and you're back to Lv1.

I don't think we'll get the second thing though. Just room generation.
 
Question that has probably been answered, but is the physical edition available for Wii U and if I back it now, can I choose Wii U as an option? I see the description only states all other platforms minus Wii U.
 
I still find hard to believe that the biggest KS yet is an IGAVANIA game, seeing how PC oriented KS is.

Why aren't more Japanese devs jumping into the KS bandwagon is beyond me.
 
10k less backers but $1 million more than MN9.

People really loved Castle/Igavania.

They sure will after MN9 and this.

They can't modify the page once it starts, but at the end of the campaign, you'll get a survey that will ask you to specify the platform you want the game on.

Incredible news for reaching $5 million. This must be so rewarding for IGA to stick this in the face of so many doubters, on top of being able to continue doing what he does best.
 
This really is an emotional moment, it's truly incredible how much it got, congratulations to the people behind the game and the kickstarter, and thank you guys, I love y'all

This is the Ritual of the Night
the night
oh yeah

THE MORNING SUN HAS VANQUISHED THE HORRIBLE NIGHT
 
Wow, the amount this has jumped in the final 48 hours is incredible. Can't wait to see the final amount. I never ended up upping my backing amount. Excited to see my physical PS4 copy when it hopefully eventually releases.
