They changed the first boss. Some people bitched about it, it seems.

@…well, everyone Whenever you see comments from us on our online platforms it comes (usually) from me, I’m Roberto Piraino, (Angel-Corlux) the brand manager at 505 Games responsible for publishing Bloodstained. I can personally guarantee everyone that both with the marketing/publishing (my domain) or the design of the game (Iga’s domain) there is not a single decision that is made in order to pander to anyone with any kind of agenda. Whether it’s social, religious, political or any kind of other activism or ideology, we avoid all of it like the plague. And consequentially, we’re pretty deaf to any feedback that comes as a result of those/any agendas. The only thing guiding IGA is making Bloodstained the biggest, funnest, best looking game he’s ever made, as HE envisions it. There are times when he brings stuff to me and is like ā€œwill we get in trouble for this?ā€ and I’m just like ā€œhaha I don’t care, I’ll fight whoever, wherever to defend your artistic choices, you make your masterpieceā€. Now obviously that’s within reason, and there are limits of course, but there hasn’t been a single time where I even considered telling Iga ā€œhey can we change/tone down x,y,z?ā€, mostly because Iga doesn’t work in the ā€œextremesā€ of the artistic spectrum when it comes to things like violence or sexuality. Finally, specifically here with Vepar, there were a few major goals driving the rework effort, and some of them included things like making her look more menacing, more gothic/demonic (also due to fan feedback), as well as making her more attractive/seductive since her monster philosophy includes an element of functioning as a siren to lure sailors to their deaths. And making her more seductive also meant some changes to her face, it’s much more detailed and realistic now if you take a good look. :slight_smile: Obviously ā€œmore attractiveā€ is always going to be subjective to the eye of the beholder (or in this case game creator) and at least personally I believe that there are tons of looks, archetypes and ways to be beautiful and attractive, but that’s just a little context to assuage any concerns from anyone who thinks we’re ever making any decisions based on external pressures related to any kind of agenda.

So to be clear it was about her giant boobs right? That’s why they bitched? Or something else said in the quote?

They haven’t specified.

So old anime Record of Lodoss War is getting a 2d sidescroller…

new official survey

vote for the demonic, evil and cursed skins!!

[quote]After Friday, May 18th, 2018 existing backers will also no longer be able to change the platform for which you have ordered/pledged your copy of Bloodstained or the side-story mini-game, so please finalize your platform selection soon! (The reward survey previously didn’t contain a platform-selection option for the side-story mini-game, so even if you’re all set with your reward survey you haven’t filled one out yet!

I’d also like to update you on the retro mini-game. There have been some changes from the time we started the Kickstarter campaign; originally, the mini-game was supposed to be a story that took place 10 years prior to the main game, but we’ve decided to have it take place in a different part of the lore.

The story for the mini-game was developed based on the world of Bloodstained, but it should be enjoyed separately as a spin-off rather than a prequel story. We will have more details very soon, so please look forward to it. [Fangamer note: Mini-game platforms are now unlocked in eligible reward surveys! Please choose your platform as soon as possible.] [/quote]

Kudos to them actually making it look like a NES game, unlike almost every other ā€œ8-bit styleā€ game out there.

Holy crap, that was intense! Looking forward to getting this for myself when it comes out!

Inti Creates about to knock one out of the park again. I wasn’t following the Bloodstained kickstarter that closely, so I didn’t know an 8-bit game was happening. And it’s based off of CV3? Sold.

I had lukewarm feelings about bloodstained, but am HYPE AF for the Castlevania 3 style game.

Already getting the physical ps4 version (alchemist’s treasure), but decided to spring for the physical vita version as well.

I’m in the same boat. My gut feeling is Bloodstained is going to turn out like Mighty No.9. But this Curse of the Moon CV3 style game looks great as is!

If they created this game as a separate kickstarter, they would have made a lot of money on it, because IMO it’s looking more solid than what I’ve seen with Ritual of the Night.
