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

I would pay $300 to put "Fuck Konami" in the credits.

It's going to be Rated M, so why not?

wary of an accomplished developer making a game with a studio that has released software [and yet to be released software] this gen
Overblown budget and date creep is more my concern.

I had a similar feeling with MN9 and look how that turned out. I'm far more confident in IGA, but I'm still holding off.

Shovel Knight remains the only game I've backed.
Would that be considered fair use? Konami is a trademarked name and all...
You could intentionally mispell it, or put it in cipher.

Look how MN9 turned out? You mean the game that isn't even out yet? Tell us more about the future.
 
You could've added "With love from NeoGaf"

Put a sick burn for duckroll in the credits.

I don't identify enough as a Gaffer for this to really work. I actually replied to one of Duckroll's posts earlier in this thread saying he should be banned without even realizing he's a mod until a few days later. Not that would have necessarily stopped me from making that sort of a comment but I probably would have gone about it another way.

That's actually tempting to be honest. I bumped it up, I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to think of something or maybe even use that. God knows that phrase has gone through my mind quite a bit over the past 7 years, especially lately.

I have a feeling they won't allow it. But if you get approval to include it, I will contribute financially to the cost of your tier.

Hes been a producer long enough to know how to run a budget and scope the project.
 
Hi there! Yes, we'll accept Slacker Backer pledges [Paypal]after the Kickstarter, so you can back any tier as usual and it will include the bonus content. (This bonus content, however, will not be available in the retail release). Only the limited-quantity tiers will be unavailable.

The retail release they're referring to there is the one that will be bought in stores correct?

I'd say there's a good chance they won't, and I might choose to go with something else, but I'll see. Also I ended up with the map on this tier, if anyone can't afford it and is interested maybe we can work something out down the line.

Yessir!
 
Let's put our ideas together. "Fluorine Uranium Carbon Potassium 573".

That'll make it in for sure.

Boron Nitrogen Lithium instead of 573 (elements represented as their element numbers which spell out 5 7 3)

So all together it will be:
Fluorine Uranium Carbon Potassium Boron Nitrogen Lithium

Phrase may fit the size constraints possibly?
 
Wow this is actually going to make over 5.5 million.

That's fucking nuts. Welp, did my part. Got that sweet hardcover art book.

Really want that Amano poster. But I must resist...
 
Creator Koji Igarashi just now
Fangamer here with a PayPal Update: $204,905 ^RA

^Updated PayPal amount as quoted from the KS comments section.

We gonna hit that 5.5 million. This is incredible!
 
I don't even bother to donate to games that have received this ridiculous amount of funding. There is just no reason to donate at this point, the development has already been subsidized.

I would much prefer giving my money to a smaller project which may not quite make it over the hump, Little Devil Inside for example.

I essentially have the full Iga lineup going back to the GBA. Love his games and will likely pick this up on PC assuming development goes smoothly. Don't need a Mighty Number 9 or Broken Age situation
 
Gonna bypass digging through updates and ask 2 quick questions:

1. If you back at $125 does your digital copy have backer bonus content too?

2. Is the backer bonus content for physical copies just a redeemable digital code or are they literally printing a different disc for backers? That distinction would probably push me to back.

1 - Yes. And if either one physical or digital are PC versions you'll get access to the beta.

2 - Probably just DLC.
