BCB Episode 11 Christmas with Mana Ikeda

Yay, thank you! I will start listening and probably continue tomorrow, it is almost midnight in Europe
These podcasts are really great and much appreciated.

I went to the last part of the podcast and found answers to all of my questions. I especially enjoyed hearing about a possibility of a concert. Thanks a lot XombieMike and Mana

Goosebumps at the beginning. Always a good sign. Thanks!

Just finished listening to the episode!

-Aiming for the T rating is going to be a useful piece of info for what to expect and future discussions.

-Everyone in ArtPlay rushing out getting a Dragonite for Pokemon Go in the rain was a great story. Totally worth it! XD

-I hope your work gets in the game, Mana! That sounds like such a great opportunity! Lots of other interviews have already made it clear that IGA is a good boss, but it's still cool to hear he made that offer to you!

-As for the whether or not an incubus will be in the game, IGA should go for it! We've had succubi in Castlevania, and it'd be a fun twist to give Miriam some incubi to fight in Bloodstained. They could even work as a story-related boss or mini boss! "Gebel and Johannes what are you both doing here?! And shirtless? And... surprisingly muscular. Handsome, too. And you're both about to sweep me off my feat and ravish me and make me feel like a princess... heeeey, wait a minute!"

Thanks Mana for being the guest and always thanks Mike for hosting this broadcast! Juicy and fun to hear.

OMG, my questions got asked! Not really anything that could be commented on though. Thats what I thought, too early in the game development. They likely haven't decided how souls or weapon upgrades would work.

Being a community manger, I bet she would work on the village. Maybe drawing the villagers or the village itself. 

Points of interest:


1) Villagers (Basically) confirmed,

2) Armor variations will be similar to Symphony of the Night,

3) More shards DO = higher power abilities.


Altogether though a great episode, can't wait for the next one.

Mana did answer my second question but Iga has said the drop rate will be high. Lets hope thats true. Dawn of Sorrows drop rate is way too low.

It will be interesting to see how shards get enhance when you collect multiple copies. A straight increase in damage would be boring. I would before if higher levels of the same shard gained secondary powers. Such as bullet shards spawning more bullets each cast. Kind of like how a dagger sub weapon could be upgraded to fire multiple daggers.

I think it more like its just really unlikely anything that could cause an issue would be in the game in the first place. I meant if a giant sea monster with huge tits isn't going to prevent the game from getting a T rating then we got nothing to worry about because its unlikely anything more sexual than that will be in the game.

I have a question: how or where did Community Members got their questions to XombieMike to be read on the Podcast? I can't find a thread about it.

Also what did Astaroth asked? Something about some female character from what I could gather but I couldn't make it out.
