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

I see. To spin it a different way then, my current $125 pledge could take PS4 and PC, get me in on the beta, and the Vita version would be covered at $28?

That is correct, but keep in mind the Vita version would be missing backer exclusives such as the swordwhip and hidden boss (which also require the $60 tier).
 
Newish poster, came for Persona talk, stayed for literally everything else.

I was on the fence about backing Bloodstained for a while but I finally caved. Had to go for one of them Amano posters because I will buy anything he has touched.

Pure Miriam looks amazing. Hype for that last achievement point.
 
The stupid asymmetrical outfit finally makes sense! In order to assess the stained curse growth, she has to be constantly keeping an eye on it. Therefore, more fanservice skin shown.

I think it'd be much easier to get (less than) 3000 retweets.

Considering it took nearly the entire campaign to get the current number, I wouldn't say so. It would be far easier to get some folks to wear a pony tail, some glasses, and carry a book or satchel.

They've been quite lenient with the criteria, so you wouldn't have to be Blonde or wear a similar clothing style for example.
 
I like the pure costume but I prefer my Miriams ravenhaired:( Cool final stretch but I'd preferred level editor. Oh well, this is ending up to be an insanely feature rich game well worth the 60 bucks I've put forward to it. If they let me upgrade I'm quite certain to throw 200 bucks more their way for Kojima and Amano.
 
If everyone who followed on twitter had also retweeted we would have had that final achievement now -__-. It's probably the easiest achievement left. We'll have to try to market that idea in the twitch chat or something.

Has everyone in here retweeted? It's this one, I think:

https://twitter.com/swordorwhip/status/597809779285757952

Probably too little, too late, but we'll see.

Edit: I see you guys are on it. Good, good.

Well then I'll do a Johannes cosplay. BRB.
 
Can someone explain the prequal minigame? Is it a separate game released before Bloodstained, or comes with the game... Perhaps like Richter's intro in SotN?
 
New Stretch Goal? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I like this version of Miriam's outfit better but I liked the dirty brown/black hair more.

Also with regards to Twitter, they have been SERIOUSLY underusing it. They should have a tweet for like every update but instead they have barely used the @SwordorWhip account. What gives?

Yeah the followers/RT difference is so absurd. If you can follow then a RT is basically just another click.

It doesn't help at all that they wanted a specific tweet retweeted that's been buried all the way at the bottom for ages now.

They should have had it pinned for folks to catch on like suggested, but it went nowhere.

Yeah, to be frank, they handled their twitter account AWFULLY. Like they did a legit bad job with it which is shocking since they seemed to nail all the other social media aspects.
 
I just hope they're just using blonde Miri-chan as bait for people to retweet and shit so they get more money. If they don't give us Pure Miriam even if we don't reach 60 achievements, that would be shitty, after they showed us the costume.

If at least it was something vague like "we'll add an extra costume to the game", then fine, but they already designed the damn thing >_>

Let's get those retweets, people. That's the easiest one!

This is the one to retweet: https://twitter.com/SwordOrWhip/status/597809779285757952

Not really, no.

It would be easier to do a crap "cosplay" of Johannes or draw stick figure comics than to funnel nearly 3000 retweets in about 7 hours or so.

There's 2-5 cosplays needed to be done where you can just put on a ponytail, glasses, and hold a book, whip/rope, or a satchel. If you go the comic route, there's ~44 left for that avenue.

retweets require the least amount of effort out of me :p They can also spread exponentially.

Go make vines and stuff, then, people!

The chat will be full of fans. We should be able to convey the idea there. We can at least try. If someone wants to do cosplays though, fine, that'd be great.

I don't have long hair so yumm ... Gaf with long hair put a cover over random glasses and hold a book or rope I bet we got more than 5 here let's do this
 
Also, you guys can submit Vine videos just recording the Kickstarter campaign page or even the latest update page with a remark or two in the background.

They have accepted this before in the criteria.
 
I want that outfit playable with the canon brunette Miriam. I don't care if you can see her glass skin on the default costume, the other one plain looks better.
 
Just wanted to confirm, a 125 pledge gives me the bonus backer content for both and digital and physical copy of the game for whichever platforms I choose, yes?

Yeah it might be too late for the twitter achievement. Getting 40ish people to draw some quick comics seems like a more reliable way to go. I might even do one after work.
 
Still unsure about hitting that pledge button. I trust Igarashi, but man, I really wish there was an artbook + digital tier at $150 too.

I'm so happy to see the success of this Kickstarter. Nicely done, everyone!

I'm still sitting at the $100 tier, but will likely upgrade to the $150 [or possibly even the $300 tier] once the Kickstarter ends. I'd pledge more now, but my budget is somewhat strained at the moment. I'm relieved to see that I can upgrade to a higher tier later.

Also, that Boss Revenge Mode sounds great. Here's hoping we can reach it! I believe in us.

This is why I am so eager to hear her voice acting. It's the make or break component to characterizing her. She can be calm and stoic, but she has to be a badass. I don't want to play china doll with no energy.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I feel like jennifer hale would not be a good fit for her... trying to think of a good female VA that would fit.
