Hey Vaanknight.
Mods? Do you mean modes? The mods are updated by people over at Nexus. When it comes to the patching, there are more to come.
And I have always stated that GOG version of Bloodstained is the best, since versions could be picked and played. I am not sure how many listened.

Keep it chill guys.
Most focus goes on expanding the Bloodstained Universe and Legacy. The updates will come, but it will take time.
No worries though, the promise haven't been broken.

This would be my go-to since I wanted it on PS Vita back in the day. But alas, PC will have to do.

Was very fun that the post with all these themes made it to the official poll. I appreciate that much. Also, I think it helped for some decisions for the team and I believe Bloodstained 2 could do with less modes and more core function and gameplay, which means DLCs costumes can be made for it easier I believe if they chose this direction. I like to find everything in the game, so that the game is a complete and finished purchase without the need to get more DLCs, however, if DLCs are handled with care, and are optional, like costumes with a very small fee, and it can aid development, then fine. The costumes must be very very cool if I am gonna get them though.
I think the best way to introduce additional costumes would be bundled or part of expansion, which in a sense would be "complete" as a purchase, making the costumes additional bonus features, or part of a system that the expansion introduces. An expansion could be a new area, a new playable character and costumes, new items and new fighting / spell / soul / whatever system. It needs to give the game a new feel, but keeping the old. This would be hard to make and looking back on Castlevania series of the IGAvania universe, the playable characters are always part of the core and base game and have never been downloadable before as a DLC (not counting patches which some call DLCs, not sure why). Patches are also free and included, at least what I've seen.
Anyway.. Costumes, skins, outfits, additional double jump wing designs, stuff like that? Love it!

Shards are from bosses for Miriam. Imagine these relics are from bosses too, used for other playable characters. It would be a different system, no need to grind and given you a choice. Would be less random than card system for example the Max Up Game Castlevania Circle of the Moon.
Keep it aside, have costume for visual effect only.

If not clothing, then perhaps a belt with 5 slots in it or something. Perhaps belts are upgraded with slots.
By picking up relics you can combine them in a specific pattern to gain elemental damage or shield, sub-weapons and so on. Experimenting with it. Like a simple puzzle. Relics or runes or what not. This could be used with alchemy heroes, in no need of shards if Miriam got other friends that help her out.
For example, a stone or emblem of something can be fire attribute. If that is first in a slot of 1 in low tier belt, it means it gives you fire resistancce. In a slot of 2, it can be combined with other things that will evolve it to either "higher resistance", "Dagger attacks got now fire damage" "Dagger attacks got now much fire damage", "Shield of ... (fire)". and so on.
With a better belt, or clothing, with slots up to 3, 4 or 5 etc. Can give your favorite gear, or build at least a massive bonus in what would suit your playstyle.
Costumes per say, that change appearance is what I would like to see be just a clothing feature, not something that gives you anything but just a swap of clothing. So in a sense, have features like unlimited ammo, for example would be in some gear that are visibly not needed. If I want to run around looking like a Pirate or a Ninja, and got fire skills, combined with shards or sub-weapons, I should be allowed to run around looking like that but play it my way.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it draws a lot of inspiration from Order of Ecclesia. Feels like something that would belong in IGA's universe of Castlevanias. I truely hope it will be finished and released.

Thank you aceearly1993 for the input. I have been checking out The Lecarde Chronicles, and will investigate Touhou Luna Nights again, its been a while. Also I have checked in The Messenger. What I hope to achieve, in short when it comes to graphics is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, with a filter similar to that of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That means, pixels, but not real pixels. Examples are games like Valfaris and Dead Cells, both of which use dark forground, light background. The filter is there for a reason I can't really explain today, but if my vision can be made, which I am sure of at this time (but who knows), the game will have variety enough to keep it interesting.

Noticed that Metroid Dread use same black forground and bright background as Hollow Knight and games outside of the category like Dead Cells. Which isn't what we are used to in IGAvanias, which handle bright forground and darker backgrounds. Not always, but in general. I will show examples below. Starting out with the Light forground games. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin / Castlevania Symphony of the Night / Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Vs. Dark forground games. Hollow Knight / Metroid: Dread / Dead Cells What are your guys thoughts about that? Do you enjoy light or dark forground?

If I get far, bouncing will be done. Polls, suggestions etc.
So far, I don’t have much to show for it, so we shall see as soon as something promising is done.
Thanks for allowing me to talk about it here.

Since January, I have been writing, documentated, sketched and made music for my own game project: Amzeer - Aurora of Rebirth. Story nugget
The game will follow Amzeer, a girl that wakes up in a tomb outside of a village with no knowing of her past. The village itself have a few other people that try to co-exist, but something is however very strange. Many of them do not understand each other, and seems to be out of place through time and even worlds, and nobody has a memory how they ended up there.
In the distance there is a castle (surprise!?) which seems to draw Amzeer. Perhaps in there lies the answers she, and everyone else is looking for? Game Design
- Category: Igavania / Metroidvania
- Sub-Category: Horror / Gothic / Ethreal
- Overview: 2D exploration in a 3D environment
- Difficulties: Easy will give you additional features, while Normal is more strict. There will be higher difficulties as well.
- World: Big castle with unique locations both inside and outside
- Music: Inspired by Castlevania, horror movies, modern orchestral etc. made by myself (have a listen below)
- Censorship: Contains nudity, gore and customization of character
- Story: Additional deeper lore as an option
- Game Modes: Main game, Boss Rush, Mini Games and more. Additional options will allow you to change the experience.
- Enemies: Creatures and monsters inspired from games, movies and folklore I grew up with
InspirationHeavy from Castlevania - Symphony of the Night. Little from Bloodstained - Ritual of the Night. Extremely little from Dark Souls. Take an example from Symphony of the Night - Lost Painting which inspired this pieace I made for the game (listen at the beginning, there are a few other tunes in there). Below is the earliest test of the game engine (Unreal Engine) and trying out the music. The music has been updates since, and was more a music test than anything. The areas wont be in the game, which are free assets used just to get a feel of the engine. There is no release date or anything. And when its time for its released, most of you, if not all of you have already forgotten about this project of mine actually. Unless you are hardcore into reading all the updates on my website that is. Feel free to ask or inspire me with your knowledge here on this forum if you'd like. For more information, visit my website.

If I would to guess, its an alchemy extension of latin. In other words: Its made up with inspiration out of languages. And by keeping it clear to the creators - Teps is officially thunder or lightning when it comes to magic, imbues, items, weaponry and gear for example.
If its a real language, then I missed it as well. I can't write for sure that its made up, but sure seems like it.

Since this game is less about the castle and more about the story of Miriam and Gebel, there is no attachment to the Castle itself. In Castlevania, Dracula needs his castle, its part of what he is as well. Here, Miriam can see the world.
I have no idea or say in if the game should explore (with Zangetsu and Miriam) parts of the world in the next installment, or limit it to one area with another castle from Hell, from an unknown source of evil.
I mean.. There are plenty of demons that wanna rule over hell. Right?

GOG is the best version. Hands down. I got Bloodstained on Steam too, but with GOG I do not have to rely on the internet to work all the time.
