Ah, I'm sorry for being rude about it. It was just a lot to move around, and if you think simply searching for an existing bug thread takes effort, merging posts is more so. Fortunately I have the day off work, although it kept me from reading my current Vampire Hunter D novel for a bit. I also managed to merge around 10 other similar posts from others, so your streak of a good handful only prompted me to do clean up work that I should be happily doing without complaint anyway. Again, sorry I was rude.

I just said how unhelpful it is to use other games as a reference and what do you guys do? Son, I am dissapoint. Shelf the Ori and MN9 talk and get back to discussing the graphics in ways that can be digested by the team. Plenty of great examples are in this thread. Let's get it back on track, please.

For example,

The cannon looks like it has a major retexture. I can understand the highlight around the cannon to make it more obvious you need to interact with it to continue the level, but the texture it's self is really bad when compared to 2016. Also, I think highlighting it with that outline kind of defeats the point of the puzzle and robs us of the reward of figuring it out. Same with the crate.

Ori is in a whole different league with its graphics. Graphics aren't everything though. For the experience I expect delivered I think what we see in the demo is fine, but I just wish it looked as good as the old shots. As far as what sells, a good game sells and it's not all about eye candy, though it certainly helps. In Bloodstained's case, a balance has to be met between cost, time and how it looks. We can't push this to 2020. It's gotta run well on Vita too. Ori doesn't.

luciddre4m Ah, looking for existing threads before posting. I like you already! lol

Welcome to the forum!

Procedural generation is already being used. It's done on the development side and then hard baked into the release. You will not see things change as if it's random generation during run time. In the podcast I spoke with Mana about it she confirmed this.

Whoever redeems the key on their Steam will be the only account that can play it.

Game felt like it was running at half speed
Mote notable bugs for me were crate and Miriam getting frozen in place until hit by an enemy.

First gravity toad and now this? This is my favorite "bug". I hope they don't get fixed.

I like them. Mana did them and we have had weird stuff in IGA's games that break emersion. Backers made the game happen, so having all their portraits stuffed in one big room hidden somewhere in the castle like what was done in Goetia would make me feel like they are less a part of the whole game.



I'd like to see them randomized. If I had my portrait in (I don't) I'd think it would be neat to know it could pop into any picture frame. Plus then it would be like the portraits are haunted and change every time you see them. The backers would be haunted paintings. How cool.
