Can I be a Demon Alchemist? I am a Devil Forgemaster, after all. If not, I suppose Demon will do

Damn, still no replies?
I was very tempted to back this. The graphics are beautiful, the concept is solid, and the characters seem interesting to me. However, I just can't get past the Stupid Minion Syndrome. In many (honestly, probably most) games where you see battles between large numbers of enemies and one or two heroes, most of the minions just stand around shuffling their feet instead of actually fighting. I understand the reasoning behind this (the single target would be dead VERY quickly), but it just seems silly to me. I think they mentioned how they were inspired by the Battle of Helm's Deep, but there were a LOT of combatants on both sides there for most of that scene, and during the short time when it was 2 v. many, the orcs could only approach probably about five abreast, and only from one direction. That's not the case in this game from what I've seen, and if you look at enemy behavior so far (skip to the 9 to 11 second mark and watch some of the orcs that could reach the dwarves) there's a lot of standing around. If they could change that, I'd buy this in a heartbeat, whether I could run it on this laptop or not. Until then, though.... *shrugs* Sorry.

Awesome update! Pictures of the new character, his backstory, info about PAX and the survey, and some fan art. Definitely worth the wait! One thing bothers me, though. "In all my games I’ve never had a Samurai character appear, much less a character from Japan, so I’m using the opportunity of working in this new universe to try something new." Mina Hakuba in Aria of Sorrow is from Japan, and that was an IGA game...I think. We've also had a few samurai, but only as Innocent Devils and enemies (Rasetz and Dead Warrior off the top of my head), so I don't think those count. Also, I love the name Zangetsu. Wiki says it means "morning moon" or "moon visible in the morning", but the usage in fiction listed on the page has to do with cutting or slaying the moon, which makes sense, as the full moon is a symbol many have come to associate with the night and the forces of darkness in Castlevania.

frankly I think it's surprising to get an update at all in less time than a half year. I think many people just don't understand how much work making a game is....It's a lot. Plenty of people understand, but it's more than possible. For example, look at how Grim Dawn has handled their updates. It's NUTS. I think gamers are just so used to hearing nothing at all for months and months and months that they've just kind of accepted that as the norm. It can be the norm, as companies that already have the money they need or anticipate major sales don't need to maintain that hype, but it doesn't need to be the norm. An update can be as simple as some concept art and "we're currently working on [insert a subject here]." Maybe mention challenges, or unique developments. It's not hard, and if you can work for a month and not have an answer to a question like "So, how's work going?", I don't think you're really trying.

No, just ideas and pictures....not everything nude or female is auto-erotic, lol Where is that last picture from, the one with the skull? I have seen it somewhere before! Like in a horror book. It looks like something from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I remember reading those as a kid and loving the artwork.

Yeah he would. We have a backer-exclusive boss and item, right? They may be backer-exclusive and acted as an incentive to get people to pledge more (it worked on me), but there's no reason to restrict the backer-exclusive boss and item just because of the console. Plus, sometimes backer-exclusive content becomes available as DLC depending on the game. I don't know if it'll be like that for Bloodstained, but I hope it will. I never said there was a reason to restrict content by console, and I'm well aware of what the backer exclusive content was used for. As you said, it was a money grab, and it worked. Rigel said "I know for sure that Iga would never restrict the content of the game.", but the content has already been restricted. That's all I was pointing out. If backer-exclusive content becomes available to non-backers, that will mean we will have been lied to, as "exclusive" has a set meaning, and people buying DLC aren't backers in the sense that the word was used earlier, which is "people who backed the development and creation of the game." That being said, I hope the boss and item become available to non-backers, because putting a single boss and item behind a, what, $32 paywall? Is a bit of a dick move towards people who want the "full" experience. At this point, though, they've painted themselves into a corner. If they keep certain content exclusive, some people will be upset because they won't have a way to get said content. If they open the content up despite making it seem earlier that this would never happen (and having people dig deep into their wallets at a time where they honestly might not have done so had they known they would have the option later), people will also be upset, and rightfully so. Exclusive OR "exclusive" content is always a gamble, and they knew this going in. The price point of this potential DLC is also going to be interesting, as the upgrade to $60 from $28 gave not only the boss and item, but also the soundtrack, a PDF strategy guide, and I think access to the prequel game and the beta... but I would bet at least a handful of people don't care about any of those, and only wanted the boss and item, and are rightfully going to feel cheated if the boss/item DLC goes for, say, $5 or $10. EDIT: And just so I don't come back to a few PMs about it not being a money grab, it was a money grab. Everything you see in backer extras as tiers go up is a money grab. That's the whole point. Part of kickstarter is coming up with great tier bonuses to increase the money you get for development, and this kickstarter did a great job with that. Honestly, I wish I could've pledged more, as the Demon Summoner tier was calling to me the whole time, but I could only spare $60, which was $4,940 short of that tier XD

Legion is a cool boss and all. But I fail to see how floating at a snails pace waiting for corpses that you dont even control to kill stuff slowly on their own would be very fun. I think the key to having a fun object to play AS is to have a variety of mobility and attack options that make the player constantly decide which to use for specific situations. HEY! I control them just fine! I tell them to walk around, and they do. Right? RIGHT?! Also, I have lasers. Several of them! AND some sort of flamethrower-tentacle-attack-thing... Not really too clear on that one, to be honest, but it's something, right? We can't all be castle lords or giant dinosaur-pharoah-timelord things.

Yep, being bored is bad and makes you do the weirdest things. Being bored should be a crime. I am so sorry, Miriam, really!
With that said I'm going to bed. Good night, everyone. Edit: Slightly fixed. Why? Don't ask.

Right, what Arcueid said. Ok, was my use of the report button to get mod attention to a question about forum rules in this situation considered ok as well? Some forums I know want the report button to basically be "help! I need mod advice!"..and some want it to EXCLUSIVELY be "Help! please hang and murder this evil poster scum!" (note I'm not trying to make the 2nd response seem bad, but am rather trying to poke fun at how easily some people use the report function for that purpose). Just here to report that you've been reported for reporting.

I guess I'll be resubbing once that comes out.

After turning my phone back on, as I thought I have a lot of missed calls asking me to help at work. Actually, since they couldn't join me by phone, they also contacted me by email. Guys, stop it and actually try to work by yourselves? I'm on holidays! What if I left the country!? Argh. I'm not going to bother replying but the guilt, it's eating at me... and the responsibilties, although they're not mine... gah. ... Maybe I should check up on them? ._. Don't feel guilty. I don't have all the information here, but if you're on holiday, you're on holiday. That means you're not available, and if the responsibilities aren't even yours in the first place, they need to put on their big boy pants and stop relying on others to do their work for them.

Finally took some pictures of my fire pit that I welded. Hopefully I can get some new equipment and start welding again. Ignore the rust, it's over 13 years old and has lived outside through Saskatchewan winters every year. EDIT: I forgot, the point of this post was to say that I want to try and make prop weapons and armour. But I would also need some leatherwork experience. There is a guy in my city who does a leather armoury, makes awesome bracers, pouches and even book covers; maybe I can learn some of that. I don't want to derail this thread so if anyone else has some awesome cosplays, or props to show, please show me! Warhammer fan, eh?
