My question is: What did you learn from the various stages of development, and most recently the beta? What feedback has been taken on board? As for answers to those questions: Fav indie metroidvania is a tough one, I like a lot of them. HD titles and remakes can be good, but only if there is legitimate effort put into them, and preferably at a decent price point. I would remake the Sonic Adventure games. Full remake, both games, mechanics updated to work better in the current day then they did back in the day. Throw in a bunch of new stuff, stuff that was meant to go in but ran out of time ETC, but keep the more goofy but more serious bits.
I will also ask you those three questions.

First of all, I don't know if the Archive was intentionally turned off or not for the demo. If it was, this is pointless. If not however, it's a pretty big but not gamebreaking bug.
Simply put, the collections do not work. It does not show percentage of anything like items or demons, I cannot, say, enter the demon area and look at the demons I unlocked (I am assuming that you are meant to be able to enter the collections to see things you found), really the entire archive section is a hot mess.
Occurance: Every time. Severity: Not gamebreaking, but very annoying. I had hoped to find monster entries or test it out. Repeatable: Yes. Just go into the archives option in the menu.

Note: Only got though part of the Galleon for reasons below. Will list more thoughts later in other threads.
The good: Game plays well when it runs well. Any faults are on me for not being used to PC and my PS4 controler not working right with the cable. it feels very vania in terms of gameplay.
The bad: Crate does not work when you walk against it to move it, in bigger or busier areas game runs terribly, and it's not running too hot on my laptop even in smaller ones.
The ugly: The animation of the guy being attacked by a demon needs SERIOUS work. It looks utterly awful and I mean unacceptably awful. This needs major work and I fear for the worse if this kind of animation will be a staple of the game.
Edit: played u[p until start of Garden of Silence. More thoughts:
ALL ANIMATIONS AND TALKING ANIMATIONS NEED MAJOR WORK. Enemy animations and miriam attack animations are ok, but everything is second rate and needs vast improvement. Anne's face alone will haunt my nightmares as particularly awful, as will quest lady.
Gameplay feels good.
COuld use a bit of explanation on how to break apart items. Do I need the solvent from the shop? Do I eat it since it says Alcohest consumed?
Alfred is a jerk.

Hello. I was wondering about the extra modes to come with Bloodstained. In previous games you have made, while the extra modes have been fun, I think it's fair to say that their scope was limited. I was wondering if the modes that were funded would be more substantial pieces of content with as much thought put into them as the main game, or if they will be like in the past and serve as more of side content to the main game dist as it were. Or maybe some are bigger then others? If so, which are smaller and which are bigger?

Ok, so in some games like Thief, or Xcom 2, they have (in addition to easy, normal and hard,) a custom difficulty setting, which allows you to alter various numbers, effects, and modifiers of various kinds to make the game easier then easy, harder then hard, or anywhere in between.
I was thinking that bloodstained might benefit from such a feature, hopefully plastered across all modes, or at least the main one.
Some suggestions on options it could have:
Change enemy or boss health How hard enemies or bosses hit Drop rates (General or specific) Movement speed A "Baseline" choice setting for AI Change aspects of your UI Change what you can see/ add darkness or tunnel vision Add some kind of positive or negative modifers or other limitations or boons to Miriam
Anyone else got ideas?

The last game I played was Golf Story. The good news is I'm facing a normal guy with a normal golf club. The bad news is he's got one hell of a swing with it.

Ok, so my story on Symphony Of The Night is not a grand one or a long one or anything like that. I was looking to buy a digital game on the Xbox Live store back in the day, and I saw Symphony and remembered hearing good things about it. So I brought it. I played it. I loved it. I especialy liked the control scheme and hope Bloodstained feels as tight and good. I then proceeded to buy Aira Of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin and enjoyed those too. My biggest fear for Bloodstained is that the controls won't feel as good as all those games. But it's also my biggest hope that they will.
As for what I thought of the game? 10/10 would randomly buy on digital store all over again.

So, there's a note on modding in the community broadcast that Angel Corlux said. It basically amounts to a non answer on the matter of mods although it's noted he likes them. I also asked about console modding on discord:
And got:
At first I found it a bit insulting (Which I don't think was the intention at all since Angel Corlux seems nice in their replies. Also, I had a bad day and get riled WAYYY to easy so I'm almost certanly seeing into things that ain't there.) but then Xombiemike pointed out the bit I highlighted in my quote.
So assuming that bit's not a coincidence, it's not confirmed or anything, but it's ALSO not ruled out, which I'll take.
I'd like to register my interest on console mods as a feature thoughif anyone walks in, and would like to ask if anyone else wants to see it assuming they will play Bloodstained on console.
For anyone wondering, the question one was if a console test was planned, to which the answer was there's no plans especialy considering the phases needed to go through, but it could change.

I think that, personally, that things should be seperated into features and modes for this. Features, I'd expect to be in the main game at launch, such as local coop (maybe the online) or the other playable characters, or the difficulty levels. Modes would be stuff like Speedrun Mode or Boss Monster Mode. Classic mode would be in modes, but retro level would be in base ETC.
I'm not entirely sure how they'd be seperated in these catabgories TBH. How do YOU see all the stuff?

I'm gonna weigh up here. In my opinion the design of the monster looks cool. If it's not what you want, that's up to you. All I can say is I like it. I'm a bit concerned about the translation of it into the game, but it looks like a decent creature to me.
As for rough and uninspired, the latter will always be a debate among people, but the former can often happen with first drafts of concepts. I think the idea is usualy to get a rough schech of the creature in question and them improve/work on it.
In conclusion therefore, I'd say if you are happy with the general IDEA of the creature, think long and hard about what you like and don't about the intial design and pass on feedback on both. The second pass may be more to your liking. If you like literaly NONE of it however I'd say it's time for a talk for a bit.

I think it depends on how good the demo is, how big it is, and most importantly, if the team feel confident putting out there or not. If the answers to those is Pretty darn good, Pretty big for a demo, and yes they do feel confident in giving it out, then I would be all for putting it out there for everyone on as many platforms as possible. I know as a PS4 backer I'd love to try the demo there rather then PC, and I would not mind others getting a hold of it. (Although if the PC demo can map to a PS4 controler it's fine too)
