What has been stated regarding what is and what’s not included on the game cards/discs? Would sure look good to have an official statement regarding this before the last slacker backer date is due, or is this something that’s already been clearly communicated to the masses?
I’m on the fence whether to add extra copies for other systems or not, just because of this issue.

- Upgraded my pledges. I am done. Thanks. - Ye new Decarabia needs some color, and as Yän said - a physical attribute when you make last hit for satisfaction. The desolved thingy seems still alpha since this is what many enemies do when they "die". I was hoping for more kill-animations but I can wait if its on the table. - The stairs, yes. What Elfina Ashfield wrote. - Demo after kickstarter ends is an interesting choice. Will the input from the demo really matter then? Or is this purely to secure the IP as it stands, and only that? There are both good and bad things about this. I have however full faith. - If you guys are wondering if you should or shouldn't back for extra goodies at the moment. I suggest you back if you think the extra things are worth it. If you are just curious about the game, hold off and buy once its out if you liked it on your first choice of a system. Go with brain, not heart. - The environment is nice, it looks very however generic due to the bright light (still WIP as been told). The leaves are going crazy on this side of the castle too. Try to mix it up with those animations, some areas slower than others. The wind should however be strong the higher up you are in a castle - even if its 180 degrees on the other side. Make note Angel-Corlux- I changed my mind. This update gets 8 out of 10. Because now I have gotten what I wanted (games and pre-games) in my pledge. Thanks.

Regarding the cutoff before the demo: I think this is a smart move from a publisher's perspective. They aren't interested in selling until after the game has published. I bet we see the the formal marketing campaign kick off with the demo in hopes the game will go gold day 1 of sales. As for feedback, I absolutely bet that IGA will still be listening to the fans. Both backers and general public alike. Of course only so much can change at this point mechanics wise but polish, bug fixing and tweaking stuff wI'll be heard and implimented. All this is my speculation, of course.

I am excited to know that the mini-game will be released on Switch as well. I cannot wait to find out more, the story, the screenshots..I also hope to see Zangetsu in both games, I prefer him over Miriam. Hopefully, in the main game he is a playable character with scenes dedicated to his side of the story.

One part of me really wants to have the autographs, but the other part of me thinks it's too expensive to upgrade even further from the 150 euros tier. Oh well, hard decision. I think I'll stay where I currently am and hope to meet IGA at some events sooner or later haha

I'll admit that I'm disappointed that the closing date for Backerkit is coming next month. I was wanting to upgrade my pledge again, but next month I have car insurance and Japanese road tax to pay for in addition to trying to scrape money together to pay for my Security+ exam. I may still try to sell some stuff to get a bit of extra money together, but it's going to be tough.

I've said this before; but I'm still glad I upgraded my pledge to the $500 tier a few months ago. Architect's Secret Map, baby!

The meat of this update for me would've been the quest system. However, all we got was a single picture and no elaboration on the design philosophy behind it. So I still really have no idea what to expect. I can only hope the interface art was placeholder as well as the text because it was looking pretty bare bones.
As I've stated in another post whose topic was specifically about the quest system, I would've preferred the quest system be utilized as a storytelling device with each quest being used as a means to add depth to the characters and the setting. While this update did not prove that this approach is not still being considered, it did not provide hope either.
It does seem rather afterthoughtish at this point, though. Still super excited for the game, however, because questing isn't the core gameplay element.

well, the storytelling may be part of the conversations you have with the actual npcs, as far as menus go this is clean, easy to navigate, and tells you what you need to do, if theres a journal feature i would enjoy the extra lore bits and maybe the ability to replay the conversation later being there so you always have access to story elements as well as a sort of checklist you can use to remember where you are in the game if you stop playing for a while and come back

While this update did not prove that this approach is not still being considered, it did not provide hope either. This is a really good idea. I'm personally OK with the quest system as it is: it is generic, but there's not really much you can do with quests gameplay-wise: if their mechanics don't dovetail with those of the core game, they're liable to become a chore. They really add a lot, though, when they offer you cool items in exchange for revisiting or thoroughly exploring areas you've already been to. My main problem with this sort of quests in games is that normally they offer items (like potions) that you couldn't give an F about. So it's all about how they incorporate rewards, unlocking secret quests, etc. If they do this well it could be a wonderful addition. Adding lore through quests, though, could add value to them regardless of what the actual reward was.

Adding lore through quests, though, could add value to them regardless of what the actual reward was. Exactly this. And while the quests may not be the primary vehicle for the main storyline, they would be perfect vehicles to add those juicy lore tidbits to give an added sense of Bloodstained's world and characters. Also, I love in-game journals as a means to keep track of where you are in the story and to provide a beat on what you're currently doing, in case you put the game down for a while and forget.

Just gotta chime in to say that I don't mind the mini-game is no longer a prequel, and I'm still looking forward to playing it.

Yeah that's mostly inconsequential to me. Don't know enough for it to move me either way, though maybe freeing up the prequel timeframe allows them to do a more full fledged game later on for that if they so choose.

As said on THIS thread of mine, i remember that IGA said more than once, that his worst decision was making Castlevania's timeline public. One of the reasons (that i didn't mentioned there) was that they started to run out of spots at the timeline and that forced them to work around some Castlevania concepts (like Dracula returning every 100 years was simply throw out of the window). If the game ends up being a long-run franchise, freeing Bloodstained's timeline, may be a really smart move right now.

Thank god, they're gonna close the fangamer surveys.. every time I visit this site, I take a look on my survey and start to overthink my pledge. Today I was just 1 click away of raising up to 300.. Heck, can't take the money with me anyway.. but 200 bugs on top.. what should I do?
