Support NeoGAF

[Supaidaman]

Eh, backed at 28 dollars. Tried to do my part with the money I have available. Also, I did share this at the tumblr, so YAY!.

 

[Istaerion]

So I know this was answered already but I just want to be 100% sure. If I back $28 now, I can still up my pledge at later date after the KS has ended and still get the KS Limited Edition right?

Yes, you'll be able to upgrade your pledge for a limited time after the campaign ends. Just keep in mind though that it won't allow you to upgrade to tiers which had a limited number attached.

 

[Jinfash]

You play AS the bosses.

HYPE

!!!

This is pretty cool. Too bad 500k in a few hours is a tough target.

 

[nym]

And backed, want that physical PS4 copy.

 

[Istaerion]

!!!

This is pretty cool. Too bad 500k in a few hours is a tough target.

Do keep in mind that we have the PayPal funding last reported at 180k, and the stream coming up.

It's very much within the realm of possibility.

 

[Mivey]

!!!

Well, with the 180K from paypay, they are 320K left. Given the rise in pledges in the last hours that is well possible.

 

[Stoof]

Will I be able to increase to a different tier later if I go in for $28 now? A little tight on money atm but I wouldn't mind going in for $60 when I get paid next week.

 

[Jinfash]

So what's exactly happening during the stream— IGA talking/interviewing people or will there be bits and pieces of the game shown?

 

[DraganBlack]

!!!

It sounds doable if you consider that it includes the Paypal Amount (180k+) and that we have been averaging about 0.9 k per Minute (according to my calculation) since the announcement of the last stretch goal

 

[Gbraga]

!!!

This is pretty cool. Too bad 500k in a few hours is a tough target.

Don't forget Paypal backers also count. Last number we had was 180k IIRC, which makes it pretty much 300k to go.

Iga plays games and trash talk Konami

 

[threelights]

Last minute stretch goals, damn.

Hopefully they make it too =X

 

[AmethystEnd]

I doubt we'll get any more game footage. The stream is pretty much wind down/celebration/final push for more pledges, and Iga and co playing more Metroidvania style games.

Watching Iga be bad at games is fun. He WAS decent at Axiom Verge though.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

So I pledged $185, the $125 tier plus another $60 for another physical physical copy. But when I did this, I didn't see any place for comments to clarify that the extra $60 is for the physical tier. I'm mobile and am afraid it's not present on the mobile site.

Can anybody clarify for me here?

 

[Nirolak]

This is pretty cool. Too bad 500k in a few hours is a tough target.

Even discounting the PayPal dollars for a moment, Deep Silver is publishing the game and it is 10 times higher than their requirement.

They're going to throw in a fair amount of more money into this project at whatever time they decide to officially reveal themselves to announce what else they're adding, and if a stretch goal is missed, that will easily be on the list.

[Kirie]

We have 5 Johannes cosplays total! Awesome Looks like we'll be getting the pure Miriam costume

 

[daveo42]

Still super surprised it hit $5mil today. Wasn't expecting it to keep climbing like it has. Real curious if it will break $5.5 at this pace.

 

[Gbraga]

The time has come

 

[InfiniDragon]

Lucy Briggs-Owen plssssssssss

Her Vicar Amelia voice would be great for Miriam.

This suggestion is leagues better than the others I've heard. It would sound fantastic.

Not thinking she's gonna have a personality like Shanoa though, I'm thinking she'll be a tad more gentle but still able to get the job done.

 

[Red Arremer]

We have 5 Johannes cosplays total! Awesome Looks like we'll be getting the pure Miriam costume

Looks like I was late, with mine, but it's cool. As long as we get the costume.

 

[Stike]

As always, I am a bit late lol

 

[Red Arremer]

As always, I am a bit late lol

Submit it regardless! The more the better, makes entirely sure we'll get that last achievement haha.

 

[Sword Familiar]

We have 5 Johannes cosplays total! Awesome Looks like we'll be getting the pure Miriam costume

And there was much rejoicing. Yay!

 

[Toki767]

Backed $175. May as well. Igarashi has given me much enjoyment in games over the years.

 

[Kirie]

Looks like I was late, with mine, but it's cool. As long as we get the costume.

It's appreciated anyways since it's better to be safe than sorry!

As always, I am a bit late lol

Submit it anyways, this is awesome!

 

[MrFortyFive]

Pledged $60. After GOG's summer sale it's all I can afford, but hopefully we'll make it to $5.5 million before it's over!

 

[AmethystEnd]

As always, I am a bit late lol

I would believe that you were an alchemist.

 

[Stike]

Submit it regardless! The more the better, makes entirely sure we'll get that last achievement haha.

Thanks, obviously submitted it

 

[Jebral]

Just put down my $100! I've never backed a kickstarter before, I feel all warm and fuzzy

When do we choose out platform of choice?

 

[AmethystEnd]

You'll get a survey post campaign.

 

[kuroshiki]

So this coming 2017...

Thats a long time.

After the dust has settled, they will start sending out surveys. Will take some time

You tell them later in the survey.

 

[FullmetalPain]

Take that Konami

 

[Sou Da]

Caved, going to whine loudly about backer boss stuff to them later.

 

[StarCreator]

Still no response from Kickstarter regarding getting the email on my account changed to a provider that won't block their emails. My current and likely soon to be former email provider literally suggested I contact Kickstarter and get them to change their email subjects to not look like spam to their filters.

Hopefully Kickstarter can fix my account before it's survey time, because I don't think I'll be able to fill out surveys this way.

 

[SpaceDrake]

So this coming 2017...

Thats a long time.

It's a good development schedule for a game of this scope. SOTN-style Castlevanias are not small games and should be crafted with care.

Anyway, does anyone have a clearer video of that test version IGA showed off? I said a while back that the whole reason I wasn't backing was because they weren't showing off an actual vertical-slice test build of the game and engine (like what Pillars did, which is part of why I backed that game) but if they do have something running and looks like what they're promising, then I'll throw in for $28 at least.

I know there's a video of IGA looking over a build like that, but it didn't have a very good look at the screen.

 

[georly]

So this coming 2017...

Thats a long time.

It's early 2017, I think estimated 18~ish months, that's not too bad honestly. Considering they're starting dev... NOW.

 

[Zombie James]

Six hours to hit another $460K... hmm, don't think it's going to happen.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

You play AS the bosses.

HYPE

That is hype!

This game is going to be the bomb!

 

[Maxim726X]

Upped my pledge.

Commeee onnnnnn 5.5!!

 

[Docpan]

Dude if I pay 60 now, I won't see anything for it until 2017... with potential delays.

Sorry bro, I'll buy it when it comes out. You already have your 5mil...

Love Castlevania

 

[zeopower6]

Six hours to hit another $460K... hmm, don't think it's going to happen.

Livestream in like an hour and a half. I bet people will be changing pledges during that stream like crazy x_x I upped mine earlier, lol.

 

[JSR_Cube]

Any word on how the different releases will work? Will Vita/Wii U come later?

I have already backed but just considering my options.

 

[Verger]

Six hours to hit another $460K... hmm, don't think it's going to happen.

I think it is more like 300K with the Paypal totals.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

You'll get a survey post campaign.

Post campaign is putting it lightly.

More like expect the survey "pre-launch" of the actual game.

MN9 has yet to send their own platform survey!

Yes, but if you buy now, we might get a mode where you can play as the bosses...!

But seriously, I respect your decision.

Maybe I'm confusing it with another KS game, but I swear I told them what platform I wanted, already.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It's early 2017, I think estimated 18~ish months, that's not too bad honestly. Considering they're starting dev... NOW.

And considering that that time frame was before this KS became the highest grossing one for a videogame ever bloating itself with modes, playable characters, bigger castles and what have you I wouldn't be surprised if this game got delayed.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Maybe I'm confusing it with another KS game, but I swear I told them what platform I wanted, already.

You must certainly haven't.

Just yesterday they sent an update saying saying they expect said surveys to go out next week.

 

[lupinko]

Nah, they can churn this out quickly on schedule just fine.
