That's some cool stuff!!! Also, I've wanted to get into VHD for ages but location, location, location. I ain't paying no 40$ at the local con for the Bloodlust movie, are you nuts, vendors!? (I'm cheap, I'm sorry OTL) Gonna have to track down everything online. Thankfully my paycheck came in, but it's between this and a NEW PC BUILD JUST TO RUN BLOODSTAINED BETA... OTL OTL My dear dimlitcandle , we both live in Indy. If its a choice between the PC and seeing VHD, I will gladly loan you my DVDs of VHD and VHD:B so you can get yourself a new PC. I live near Indy in Kentucky, not in it. Also I think I may have some money left over...I'll check to see if I can order it online. Might work out.

This came to my attention on Twitter recently, lol: I've been using this name since around the early 2000s, because ^. The Engrish hype of it is too good. STEP ON IT PRESS BUTTON How did you arrive at your name? I knew I should have went with "YouHunted" or "YouDefeated" as a username! >>

I had a conversation with someone that was very close to this quote. I have no idea where the quote originated, but it is very like something I'd say. The dim part comes from the fact I'm a young adult, not yet exactly burnt out or up yet.

Hahaha, I have no idea what you guys are talking about yet, but I just approve of how gunlord feels and hope that's the case for me too D: Come on, bud...watch some gameplay. I did. You're doing yourself a disservice by not. Besides, it's only tomorrow the demo comes out for everyone.

It's right after MercurySteam's game? hahahaha and they show more of their footage more than Bloodstained... How unsavory... I was disappointed in how short it was. But more disappointed in that from them.

Mana posted this on the facebook page - Game is looking quite beautiful on the ACTUAL screen - 4k baby Youtube doesn't do the game justice clearly, the backgrounds despite being a drab pirate ship have loads of color and almost have a painted look. ...my monitor is not... Me too, girl. Me too. I'm having parts for a new PC build shipped to my house as we speak every day this week. Anatomical structure was NOT certainly adapted... Regardless, I just noticed and agree with the rest of you guys that Youtube tainted the quality of this game. It's beautiful...

I hope they'll let us use a whip in the Demo! I'm hoping and praying for a basic one, at least. Swords and whips for the demo players, please!

Words can't express how happy I am. So here is an image. This is me. Even though my PC build isn't even started yet. (I'm getting there!) Also, am I the only one to notice the name of the level and ship being Minerva is a reference to the Demeter? (The ship in the Dracula novel by Bram Stoker!!) Bravo, IGA! Also, yeah we need some more movement in the background and with Miriam's hair. Good start, but the background looks dull compared to Miriam as well. I expect these to be fixed in the final product, however. It's only alpha. I agree with purifyweirdshard.

The boobs and the back crystals are totally breaking the reality of the game. How could one sleep for 10 years with that on either side of them? Either the boobs or the crystal needs to be reduced. You're ignoring the obvious explanation: Miriam sleeps on her back, and the crystals growing is what woke her up. *insert Just Right meme here* Also I'm gonna make a joke and say she can sleep just like how I can sleep in my steampunk armor! (Car rides to cons, and I don't care.)

Here's a gif of the "combat ready" idle stance. I noticed some clipping here (and in other parts of the animation from the video in the kickstarter update) but overall still looks good EDIT: Ok here's the gif version of the kickstarter video in the update. It's smaller and you can't full-screen it but I think the resolution is better/more native so it looks much more clear. Minor clipping tends to happen even in the best of games. Can't tell you all how many times I've laughed at my weapons clipping straight through my capes/coats in Bloodborne. That Kirkhammer apparently can pass through solid objects! Apparently Miriam's clothing has the same magical qualities to pass through her legs.

I haven't heard back from the con management yet, but it's still quite early. Regardless, I want to do a fan panel...and I'm now really thinking about trying to host one at MAGfest. Who would be up for that? I think I may bump my old topic/start a new one for that. You betray me, purify. (No, do what you want. ) But we fixed this problem of no-reply to the emails. I talked to the co-chair of the con and I believe he said official submission is October 1st, so our efforts are now in cyberspace floating around doing nothing. We'll need a re-submission on that date. So we have quite awhile to plan after that if it's accepted! Also don't apologize to me, bcgam3r. I barely have any more con knowledge than you, I'm just a rookie yet experienced with professional presentations as a college graduate.

Welp I've been lurking for too long and need to get my post count up so this seems like a good place to start. Work was pleasantly uneventful, so I'll likely be putting the rest of this free time into making progress in Final Fantasy VI, having picked it up again out of guilt of abandoning it before I could finish. Only just got control of the Blackjack at the moment. ( dimlitcandle fangirling a bit after telling her I met Setzer, likely since he seems to be essentially Han Solo dressed like Alucard ). Hahaha...that's a pretty good description of him, yeah. Quite a range of personalities in that game. Which reminds me, I won something as soon as I walked into a "SNES RPGs" panel at the Raleigh con last weekend (Animazement) answering a question about Setzer. Apparently, out of a huge room of people there, only I and one other person who raised their hand slower than myself could name Setzer's lover, one of 3 FF6 questions. She even has a dungeon named after her, come on...and it's a panel on SNES RPGs? Strangely enough, comparatively someone there knew all 3 questions on Terranigma. Maybe they were just holding back on FF? Who knows. Scuttlest , yeah my first thought reading that was why try to drive in it haha. I'm glad it worked out. Escaflowne...I know of it, but that's about it. I didn't realize it was the Macross creator. "Robotech" was my first anime...unless you count Voltron maybe? It wasn't until some time later that I got into any more than that, with like Vampire Hunter D and Lodoss War. edit: So I was just browsing the support forums for FitBit and one of the first users I saw there had Pure Miriam as an avatar That's some cool stuff!!! Also, I've wanted to get into VHD for ages but location, location, location. I ain't paying no 40$ at the local con for the Bloodlust movie, are you nuts, vendors!? (I'm cheap, I'm sorry OTL) Gonna have to track down everything online. Thankfully my paycheck came in, but it's between this and a NEW PC BUILD JUST TO RUN BLOODSTAINED BETA... OTL OTL Well, not much going on today since it's the weekend. Though I'd stop by in the forums because I've been working two jobs and I've been missing you guys. One job is editing and organizing a book and blog for a local author, the other my office job as the paper shuffler for two lawyers. Anyway, time for a history recap! Thank you for the Birthday wishes, guys! I had a great day then. I did a lock-in maze that was Library themed (it wasn't as fancy as I imagined, but it's a small company) that myself, my family, and one of my best friends ALMOST got out of before the buzzer went off. (I'm doing without the parents next time! Trying to tell me clues aren't clues...haha!!) Then we went to Iwataya Japanese restaurant (and pantry! They had cool stuff) to sample it and I approve 100%...one of my favorite near-local Japanese joints thus far! We get to eat there again when con time comes around next year. It's near the location. Also bcgam3r tattling on my Setzer fangirlism. He shares Alucard's Japanese voiceactor/seiyuu in his Kingdom Hearts 2 appearance. He doesn't just LOOK like Alucard, he sounds like him, too. Hmm. I'm thinking Iga and Square Enix were playing ping-pong with referencing each other. Much like what happens with Castlevania and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I haven't had the opportunity to play FF6 yet but I've seen a lot of gameplay, and I love it.

Here's the animation in what I think is a more natural resolution (and thus a higher quality though smaller image): EDIT: Meh, this came out just as large and as blurry as the video in the OP Nevermind that bit. Highlights include Miriam's "sassy" idle stance and Miriam's "combat ready" stance Something that good/strong animation does is give insight into the personality or machinations of a character overall (or in the moment). "Character acting" or "Character Animation". What I like about what I see here is that theses stances give off a sense of confidence and power. I think that overall bodes well for the type of character Miriam will be even though we have little direct insight into characterization or personality (though as always I hope they don't too far on the stoic scale). In addition to beauty, the implication is that she has brawn (which I'm sure will only further become evident as we see more of her combat repertoire). Now we just need to see the "brains" and we are all set I still can't get over how good the character model is. It seriously looks like a highly detailed 2d sprite in pictures. They've done a spectacular job where it counts so far. I agree. I'm highly impressed with everything thus far. I can't wait for more music tracks, and eventual BETA.

I didn't get direct confirmation they'd be handling things at your con, but I at least have a card with further contact info if you'd like me to pass it on. I should know what's going on as far as location for A&G Con in my neck of the woods in a few months (he said sometime in June or July is when they usually finalize their location for the following year). Setting up a panel should be easy enough. Setting up the beta might be a bit trickier as I'm on the DRM-free physical reward rather than Steam or any console version, so I may need to borrow some accounts when the time comes (or get some temporary codes from the folks in charge). That's quite a ways off though, so I'm gonna worry about that much later. No worries. I would like that contact information though, thank you! Furthermore, please do update me about them. Also about that BETA, I've got that covered. I'm a game streamer (I will capture some first level footage and upload it!) AND I bought an extra BETA copy of Bloodstained with my Alchemist's Treasure. Also we've submitted an inquiry and I've decided Saturday, in the afternoon, would be the best day and time to hold the panel.

I spoke with the guy in charge at A&G Con today. This was a very good thing. He's also involved with the Nexus Gaming Alliance, the group that runs a lot of gaming events and con components in the Midwest and beyond. Anyways, he was QUITE pleased with the idea of bringing any form of the Bloodstained beta to A&G Con next year (and he'd probably be up for lending a hand or at least a voice for getting a group of us in to present it at other events). I'm heading back for a more thorough discussion and to get his card tomorrow, but I'd say we definitely have an in for next year (he said he wouldn't have any problem giving us up to a half-dozen VIP gaming passes to run the beta at length in their gaming areas, so if anyone is interested in coming to Southwest Ohio in a year or so, you might be able to join us). It's possible the Nexus Gaming Alliance may be involved at EvilleCon next year as well, dimlitcandle . If so, you might be able to recruit more assistance there should you need it. If you have any specific details you'd like me to discuss with the gentleman tomorrow, lemme know. The biggest question I have is simply where the venue will be next year, which unfortunately can't be answered yet (they don't have a long-term site arrangement and tend to jump locations every year). I do hope you did discuss it with them! I am a busy woman, spring is a very busy time for me, and I couldn't get back to you in time. But of course I was interested!
