I've always found the X series to be the one with the most potential. You could, as said, make a continuation off of the new generation reploids and Axl clashing with the old guard, you could make a series about being your own reploid (character creation) and becoming either a hunter or a maverick through decisions and actions, you could even have a musou style game going back into the first revolutions up to x5.

Maybe they were making assumptions about the concept art?
There are angel statues and nuns, would the powers that be be precious about those?

There was a question in the survey about whether to bring in the kickstarter stuff over time or with a limited edition. Can't remember how I responded, but the swordwhip(or its red headed cousin, the whipblade) may still be a possibility.

I'm glad that a similar question was posed in the backer survey, that way I could write in my own favorite: an outfit with modern day clothes.

I'm curious if they're running filters over them to make them look more like oil paintings or to otherwise fit the aesthetic of where they're being used in the game. I think it would be real cool if they had a room where you had to fight off all the backer portraits. That would be THE COOLEST!

I can't wait to see some of these after seeing the flying protraits in the cotm game.

I think its that people (myself included) tend to equate "mobile phone game" with "cheap, exploitative, difficult to control game" and that's not even going into the monster that is ads. Say what you will about the vita, but at least the vita won't have ads cutting in the gameplay. And to be honest, I have trouble finding a lot of good action titles on mobile devices there that don't involve at least one of those 3.

Maybe, though as with games such as this it is important for it not to be TOO MUCH like the games they are based on. I can't imagine it being more true than with simon's quest.
On one hand, it can leave a lot open for a game developer to do their own thing(simon's quest is unmistakable as an entry). But on the other, Simon's quest was very much a game of its time, something like that today would have to take into account the various walkthroughs and resources people can go to coast through the game if they want to keep it a "thinking man's igavania", while at the same time being clear and sane enough to not require the nintendo power hotline.

I like her expression and personality. A more expressive character is kinda what was sought for, to make her different from those other protagonists that would be more used to “fighting the army of the night.”

Showing customization is a definite, and a plus. But there are even more possibilities. Will her general condition when we pause change it? (Status effects/hp) Or perhaps the curse?

Angel-Corlux i had noticed that before, but you typed 2018 update, when it should be 2019. No! It is accurate, he came from the future, after the great castle war, to bring us this news and ensure it reaches release, instead of 3 patches from now when boss IGA encroaches on this world in a 2nd age of darkness!

I can't say I'd be buying such a thing if it came out.

I know I probably said this before somewhere, but I wonder if I should get the drm free version just for posterity.

In the end of the day, a metroidvania is exactly what it sounds like: the action of a platformer applied to the maze like exploration and progressison of metroid.
And an igavania is that plus IGA.

IGAvanias require just the right amount of IGA in the mix. Too much and it becomes embedded in a wall. Too little and you get a Morte.

Well, in my opinion, a metroidvania is already a hodgepodge of different game designs, that it shows up in different game from castlevania is a testament to its robustness as a genre. To me, an igavania consists of
Item/equip based Combat system A large area to explore that opens up as player skill or items unlock new areas. A gorgeous playable character(s). Maybe its my opinion, but igavanias always put more care and thought into their playable character's animation and movements than many a AAA game, its amazing. Just as gorgeous and interesting bosses. Replayability in the form of collections and explorations. This is where I think the major deviation from metroid is. Metroids rewards speed and shortcuts, IGAs rewards completion and thuroughness.
And a story to tie it all together.

Are the majority of backers just using the kickstarter chat thread? I kinda wondered why there aren't as many on the forums.

A few people wanted a poll for Cplus 's thread so I thought I would make one and move all the contents of the original thread here. I hope this doesn't cause confusion. I can understand not doing a poll because there are so many tiers. Side note, it's important to understand, and I'm sure everyone does: It's not how much you backed for that is important, but that you support IGA and Bloodstained. Of course super backers are super appreciated, but it's also the thousands of lower level people that got the word out and pledged what they could. It's also fine to be proud of your tier. Thank you for your support no matter what you backed at, or when you did so. Keep in mind that for a limited time you can still upgrade to the $500 level and get that sweet map! (Image removed for space consideration by Xombiemike. Also, you're welcome ) Thanks XombieMike and Cplus !
