I know of at least two fans that have it already. Kind of weird that it snuck out like this without being featured in an update, but I'm sure we'll take it lol
I've also seen a fan's picture of the art. I'm not really the biggest Amano fan personally, but it definitely looks like some of his work haha

dareka lol the Dominique thing was pre-release for RotN, so I wasn't crushed yet. I was talking about being hopeful for the upcoming character rather than any disappointment. But he was in his chair thinking "ehhhh how do I say something about this"

I just found out a cake I gave Inti Creates in 2016 actually made it to them/they ate it
Talking to them in a Discord and someone shared this video of it:
Low quality pic - and you can see the start of the thread for a pic with them/me together lol
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh all these years I was worried they had to throw it away. Bad feels for years.

Up to you - what I gathered from Google translation is pretty close to what you got there, and just taking what I know and fitting it into context. It's quite a bit, and yeah I thought the Roguelike bit was interesting.

New trailer (it seems the same at first, but is not - watch it if you don't mind some mild spoilers!): All of the original game's characters are playable and the game will feature local 2-player co-op!

Indeed, and IGA talks about sales and other very interesting things more here in this Famitsu/IGN Japan interview:
Topics include upcoming content, sales details, stretch goals, next games, what he's looking forward to, etc. The tweet thread has replies with translation summaries.

Nah, back in February, Question posted this: When you start up the mode you will choose the role of one of four Bloodstained bosses: Bathin, Andrealphus, Bloodless or Gremory. From there you’ll enter a series of individual rooms, each one occupied by one of the game’s main characters: Zangetsu, Dominique and, finally, Miriam.
This was pointed out as an interim pre-update before the full KS update went live, but what happened was, it was dis-included from the actual KS update because plans changed or it was stated in error, and in actuality Randomizer was moved ahead to release first instead of Boss Revenge.

Re: Zangetsu/Zero, I was talking about that even before RotN came out haha I was just thinking that it would be pretty amazing if it had been planned originally, in Mega Man X style from Inti Creates' DNA, for Zangetsu to hand off his sword to Miriam like Zero does for X as one of the "final" weapons. Blue/red, Zangetsu is a tragic character like Zero, "varied projectile enemy-learned" abilities character versus melee-focused character... (above was pre-release well before I played the game)
well, lol. Sure was right about that. It ended up being even more similar than I thought. I'll make a full thread about this later I don't think I ever made that thread because I don't see it? But yeah, the similarities of X/Zero to Miriam/Zangetsu are pretty funny imo. Other things that have been pointed out for CotM2 - Dominique to Leviathan and Model L. At the end of stage one, you can see the boss appear in front of the moon and move downward, like Werewolf boss in Rondo stage 2.

So about 6/24, this was put up in the Discord:
Question: Hello, Bloodstained Fans! We need a couple extra days to address last minute bug fixes, so we are adjusting our release date. Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel are now scheduled for June 25-26. Thanks for your patience!

Does everyone have to say this when they praise Curse of the Moon? I see it so often lol. I get it, we all get it It feels like every post of ReySol's here and in the discord, he says it, and he's not the only one. That's great! and Zangetsu is a MAAAN and not some giiiiirl sorry, it just gets to me sometimes. I can't speak for other folks but I've always associated a specific visual and audio design with the CV series.
RotN is a fun game but in terms of visual designs it draws the short straw when compared to virtually any CV game and the OST isn't exactly Michiru Yamane's best work either.
With CotM everything clicks. Visual design, music and gameplay. It's the perfect CV experience, of course at a lower technical level. Whereas with RotN there's always the feeling of looking back and thinking what could have been.
Just take a look at the early concept artwork:
Now I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how feasible the following statement is but I don't think the artwork above is that far removed from what Way Forward was able to accomplish with Half Genie Hero by blending 2D and cleverly shaded 3D elements. I would love to see a sequel to RotN that attempts to go for this look even if ends up being a smaller game. I mean that's great and I actually agree to a point, but a lot of the time it's only as deep as "I don't like Miriam as a character because she's a girly girl, CotM was better".

The artwork (and designs) looked like Yuji Natsume again to me rather than any work of Mana's. Here's a refresher on what those looked like for CotM 1: curseofthemoon.com/en/1/characters/It has that same pastel/ghostly pale texture and feel to it, and the original KS concept art was similar which was also his.

Good Dominique? Never heard of that before... THAT SOUNDS LIKE SIMP MISCHIEF TO ME. Honestly..........I don't believe a bit of it yet. What I'm seeing online is like watching a bunch of guys ogle an ex. They can have her. Unless...she *really* does well for herself here. We'll have to see.

purifyweirdshard - I was on my school's debate team. Bear in mind that a lot of the time, I am deliberately taking the role of the contrarian for the sake of discussion. uggggh. You mean you're telling me, you don't even necessarily believe the things you're posting, it's to push a discussion? I hate that lol. I read it as "bear in mind, I am absolutely wasting your time". I am not someone that enjoys arguing a point or discussing things - instead, I want to see the root of someone's issue and sort it out with them and find solutions. I find too often that issues with games like this come from a place of emotion or not having certain facts, so if I can calm them down or find out what information they didn't have, a lot of the time that works. There are some very obscure pieces of info related to the campaign, after all. I also know that a lot of people lurk and read these things, so they're seeing two other real people talk out their issue in a genuine manner and everyone can benefit from that. But...if it's just kicking along something that you don't feel yourself and I have to keep dealing with that, nah I'm good. Or maybe someone else can pick that up. I want to address the sincere issues someone has with something and then go about my real job haha. I do worry that if I leave it alone completely, though, no one else is going to show up to challenge these things because so few are going to stop by to randomly say they had a positive experience with something or they see a dev's side in it. That's generally not how the internet works, not in a "go out of your way to get there" place like this. Sometimes if a guy who thinks everything is good actually wanders in, they're appalled by being surrounded with complaints and what they post is short, dismissive and perhaps even insulting to the others and has to be moderated, as you saw. Good on you for the furtherance of discussion in the sake of enlightenment and all that, often it's respectable and important, but I can't stay in that. I think it also should be announced and clear that you're doing devil's advocate. You guys stay safe and play something fun.

I don't know if I can agree it makes sense to look at it that way? Besides Miriam, he's probably the most important character in Bloodstained. The Zangetsu clan is the new Belmont family. The trailer is just as much for letting people know he's that in the main game as it is for his own mode.
How do you mean they benefited "twice"? The game hadn't launched yet, unless you mean once from the Kickstarter campaign and once from the actual launch of the game - but those aren't two separate products to "bring him back" for something. It's a "one thing".
It's the same as if I announce I have a game that has...The Rock as a voice actor in it or something. I open pre-orders on it back then, but there isn't even really a game yet and not everyone bites yet, some people don't even think it will exist or that it will probably suck, and it gets pushed to the back of everyone's mind until 4 years later when it's actually coming out. I make a trailer this time instead of a .jpeg and some text about The Rock being in my game at launch, advertising those same contributions he had promised he would do for me that were now performed by him. He tweets it out himself, we both benefit, everyone's happy and surprised/reminded that The Rock actually doing things happened and the game (game x1 + said contributions) is real.
I don't get how that can be as seen as "left out in the cold" or we did him wrong or something. There seems to usually be a reach here.
