This game is shaping up to be something extraordinary, and it's been barely a day since it ended. Containing the hype is going to be next to impossible, even more so everytime I visit this site.  |

Now that I read all of that, is there enough money? There is a lot of things you know... like, a LOT.

Now that I read all of that, is there enough money? There is a lot of things you know... like, a LOT. Ben stated that all of these extra features were calculated with the budget in mind set by Deep Sliver, the amount they raised with KS/PayPal, and the fee's associated with KS. Plus, it's very probable that Deep Sliver might give IGA more funding based on the resounding success of the KS should he for some reason require it. That last bit is just pure speculation on my part though (´⊙ω⊙`) |

Been gone for awhile, so I'm just going to re-bump the hype by reminding all what we unlocked and added a poll!
Stand strong and patient for the game!

I appreciate the bump. I totally forgot about Shovel Knight as a guest character and don't remember hearing about the PSVita Music Export feature at any point during the Kickstarter.

Don't forget the Rogue-Like Mode ! You could also add the Swordwhip you will gain from a tough boss (IGA's Octopus ?) if I remember well and Ayami Kojima working on the artbook for those who backed enough. For sure, I'm really happy with the game will be confirmed to offer and we'll have our bunch of surprises this year. |

There's also the roguelike mode. I almost want to vote the "there's too many" option. It is kind of ridiculous, lol. They were scrambling to add stretch goals when everything was moving so fast.

Aside from igas biggest castle and nightmare mode I was pretty happy with the base game itself over new features... Roguelike mode was something I would not dare to dream of so when it appeared I practically fainted.
There is also that boss revenge mode thing but that sounds kinda gimmickish to me. Maybe im wrong. Im noy complaining though, roguelike moooodeee!!! Eeeeeek

As long as the Story isn't left behind, I'm okay with all these. Actually, I'm pretty excited about these modes. |

The hype is rising again.  All of those features combined will surely make for an amazing Igavania game. Sure, at first, they seemed like too many to me...though I do have faith in Inti-Creates and the other teams working on this game. Especially under the leadership of IGA-sama, master of our Army of the Night. Ben Judd also did an excellent job with the campaign. We sure surprised them with all that pledge money on the Kickstarter, didn't we? :3 You heard me, IGA. Galamoth, self-proclaimed Lord of Space, has faith in your cause!!! |

To be completely honest. I could have done without all the extra game MODES, and instead put that money to focus on more in-game features and gameplay systems. I feel like any focus on all these other modes might take some attention away from the main game.
Having said that, it's cool that they're being ambitious, i just hope it doesn't hurt the final product.

If you don't have support you should probably the person in charge is less than they should stuff will happen. Like one recent game on everybody's mind. :V But those extra modes got us far more money than IGA could've possibly dreamed. And I seriously doubt he of all people would shirk the main game for any reason. |

Having said that, it's cool that they're being ambitious, i just hope it doesn't hurt the final product. Putting aside how vague more "in-game features and gameplay systems" is, I think the biggest benefit to "extra modes" and why so many of them were offered as stretch goals is parallelism. That is to say they are stuff that can be worked on at the same time as the main game and not be a conflict of resources. Like once you've actually built your assets, you can work on the Main Game and Classic Mode all at the same time without butting too many heads. The prequel mini-game will likely be in the vein of Mighty Gunvolt so there won't be too much overlap in staff between that and the main game either. Too many gameplay systems could result in bloat and poor balance as well so that can be a concern too. |

Too many gameplay systems could result in bloat and poor balance as well so that can be a concern too. Like I said, I'm not hating on extra game modes. That's good and all but I just think there's an argument to be made about putting all that money and all that attention into the main game. All those resources being used for the main purpose of the play experience to me would help the visual systems look as best as it can, implement more gameplay systems, and give them more time to make those gameplay systems balanced as all their resources are being used in one area. For instance IGA has gone on record saying... well this gameplay idea is wanted but we would have to crunch the numbers to see if it would be even possible because we are using ALL the money on everything, there might not be any to spare. So, if there weren't so many game modes the focus could have went more to ideas they might have wanted to explore in-game. To me, IGAVANIA'S weren't about the extra modes, but the single player game experience, and the games that had the most focus on that I usually enjoyed far more. Having said that, once again. The game modes being included do excite me, I just hope because of this it won't keep pushing the game back, and it won't effect the main game at all. |

I do have to point out that without those stretch goals they surely would have gotten less money. How much less I wouldn't dare to guess but a lot of pushing was done to get a number of those.
I am curious though: when IGA said this was it during the campaign or much later? Because the way I can read it is that they have a game plan of what they want to do but if, say, a fan suggests something completely different then of course you'll say that you need to see whether it can be done. Even if all the money gathered was for 'just main gameplay' you'd never say 'Sure, it can be done.'
That doesn't automatically mean that money gotten for extra modes is taking away from the main game. That's just being pragmatic about your budget, no matter the size.
