BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT aka the Spiritual successor of Symphony of the Night

the graphics are looking great. hope they nail it down soon so they can concentrate on fine tuning the game more.
props.

Its a bit hard to see on my phone, but from what i can see, backround 3 and character 3 look the best. The colors are nice and vibrant, they really pop, have character, and the world “feels” nice to be in. The other shaders look rather flat and less defined.

Shader 3, background 3
The graphics look better with each update :tup:

It is not like they can’t work on the 2 subjects at the same time you know.

graphics updates are nice and all but the meat and bones which is the gameplay needs to get some coverage as well.
imo, no update means that the are “still working on it” or some bs.

What? Character 3 is the definition of flat. Looking more 2D anime = looking more flat. Character 1 actually looks believable 3D and has realistic connection to the enviornment’s lighting, whereas Character 3 looks like its stamped on a painting. Yes for retrogamers like us we can look past that, both versions look great, but artistically, Character 3 with any of those backgrounds looks jarring and arcadey compared to Character 1 which actually looks like the character is in that world.

character 3 with these highly realistic and detailed backgrounds reminds me, from a hypercritical standpoint, of Nick Arcade

to be fair character 3 is good for tastes that wants to play a game that looks extra colorful and stylish, and character 1 is for tastes that want something that looks more natural and immersive.

Was talking specifically about the color, which you agreed with me on in your own damn post man. The qualifiers at the beginning of sentences are important to understanding what the rest of the sentence means, please try to keep up.

B3 C1 for me

I just don’t think the progress in gameplay stuff is as apparent as graphical changes. The animations need to be finished or else it would end up looking kind of silly. I’m sure they’re working on it but idk why you would consider that some bs, the game is still in development and all…

Shader 1 is being called flat on the character because it makes her look like a lifeless mannequin, while shader 3, while technically flat, is more vibrant.

I like all shaders. Damn. Would be cool if they would let us change it on the fly. Kinda like that cloack in SOTN that allows you to change its color.

uh yeah, that’s why i said that i hope they could nail it down soon. they do have an engine up and running but that was ages ago and now, the animations and rest of the graphics are yet to be finalized which was supposed to be locked in already imo. granted it’s a small portion of the game, but i have fears of a mighty no. 9 clusterfuck and fanboys rail into iga for all it’s worth.

This is why i think Kickstarter projects should go dark after their fund raising.is.over and shouldnt say anything till they have a trailer or something of the sort to show, people have these weird ideas of when stuff should be done, or when they should have a goal completed or.something as if the backers get to set benchmarks or something. It always causes trouble for these Kickstarter projects, they should stop doing it till they have real shit to show.

Or just do like Inafune and Schafer and keep pushing dates back while you beg for more money.

Yea I guess…

Literally backed the game last night just for shader 3. I swear to christ if the voting somehow ends up putting in that fucking plastic Vampire Hunter Barbie shader I am going to be pissed.

Sorry if no one else wants this to look like Orichinbanana bikini and boobs funtime the game. People clearly want something stylish that looks like an updated Sotn, not some soft core porn shit.

3:3 looks amazing, it better get through this vote.

1 anything is just meh in comparison.

Getting a Dracula X Chronicles vibes from the new Bloodstained pictures.

It should be darker though.

i think 3:3 is the best looking. it seperates the character from the backgrounds/surroundings in a subtle and gentle way , which i think (judging by the pictures) is like perfect balance achieved.

So this dude I know dropped $500 on the Kickstarter for this game so he could get into the credits. His name is Nathan.

I’m trying to see if he can have his name, Nathan _____ whatever, followed by Sonicabid. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I really miss being able to bury posts for being stupid, not just spam
