Why those three? Johannes are closer to both Miriam and Gebel. And Dominique along with Zangetsu are probably equal in terms of playability? I see there are enough space to include more people in this art actually. In my opinion less is more, so I don't like seeing artwork this crowded. It becomes a mess to look at and it takes away some of the beauty and significance of artworks. For example, the last Igavania, Order of Ecclesia had a nice artwork with Shanoa and Albus contrasting each other, each one going in the opposite direction. I think it is beautiful and accentuates the relationship between these characters at the beginning of the game. If there were more characters on that artwork, it would lose the epicness. I would choose Miriam for being the main character and Gebel for being the main antagonist. I would want to see Zangetsu because he is the coolest character to me, even more interesting than Miriam. I don't find other characters particularly interesting for now. Zangetsu seems like he was born/made to be a protagonist, maybe he would have been that if a female protagonist wasn't chosen for reasons Iga mentioned before. I really like his design. Yeah it comes down to taste really. But Zangetsu doesn't fit if I view it as a designer, unless he is in a love triangle between the three. And less crowded would be only Miriam & Gebel or Miriam solo. But.. I think we can see more from Mana, and perhaps your request is granted!

LevelingI hope to see all three characters have leveling, weapons could be replaced with other things to speed up stats. Skills AvailabilityI would want the playable extra character to start off like Belmont in the early days. With a level 0 tier attack. It would also be nice to get different "sub" weapons of some kind throught the adventure. Also, I would want some skills to be unlocked after finished a few bosses, or if we could unlock them from the shop with money, just to give the currency something to actually obtain. I hope to see a range of skills for each playable character, both from start and to unlock. Looking forward to see the double jump for all of them as an example. Map ModificationsAll areas must be accessed, if not, the game feel unfinished for me. This is why I want a range of skills. Also, re-arranged enemies would be pretty cool. Menu & ItemsThe menu could be there, but we wouldn't find too much items, but those we found would help us along the way. I am thinking like Circle of the Moon, where all the dead ends were just boring hearts and potions. I believe this would be not so fun in Bloodstained either, but we should at least get things for exploring. It could be elements for our actual weapons. And like I wrote above, money could unlock things. Like a slim version of Bloodstained, but all accessable! Minimal PlotI want those three to explore the castle in pretty close timeframes, meaning that we will meet Miriam at the same location we meet the playable character when we played as Miriam, but in opposite direction, this due to re-arrangement of items and enemies, and the reason to backtrack to actually buy things from the shop(s). The plot and talk would be the same here, once we finished the game however, more details would be revealed, and with all endings collected (good ones if there are more than one ending per character), a full story would be created to fill in any blanks. Also, some funny moments to see that Miriam already been around and slaughtered a big boss or enemies, just for us to skittle through, happy that we do not need to fight them, just to meet up some enemies we are not used to see in that location.

I love your artwork, Mana ! It is very beautiful! I hope you will do many more. I can see the inspiration from Ayami, especially in the candles and roses that surrounds the characters at the bottom. I am happy to see bats flying around the castle. My only critique would be that there are too many characters present on the artwork, so it looks too crowded. I would keep only Miriam, Zangetsu and Gebel. Why those three? Johannes are closer to both Miriam and Gebel. And Dominique along with Zangetsu are probably equal in terms of playability? I see there are enough space to include more people in this art actually.

Let me get this straight, this is a fan poll by a fan to get a fan's art included in the game? People can vote "yes" all day and it won't really make a difference. Incorrect.
This is an official fan poll by a forum / community manager to get official artist, friend and community manager of Bloodstained's official art included more in the game. The topic have since changed (moments ago) due to new information about Natsume not being part of the main game anymore (but in the prequel).

Enkeria So her art is already being used in game and for promotional use (ie: slipcase) Bit tired. I ment, Natsume made concept art for in game assets. How much, we do not know. Ayame made slipcase / slipcover. Mana are giving us more on top of that in game. How much, again, we do not know. There. I think I fixed it. Its 4 at night and I haven't gotten any sleep yet.

Mana has my vote, but as long as Natsume-san's art isn't dismissed who also deserves credit. I'm definitely okay with that. His work will not be dismissed, and focused on the prequal game. Sadly he isn't involved in the main project anymore. Ayame have the slipcover too.
While I voted "yes", how would such a change impact the in-game visual aspects that we've already chosen via KS votes and moved on with? Namely, the shaders were chosen to be a closer approximation of Natsume's art. Even the character model is closer to Natsume's art than Mana, while Mana feels more representative of classic Igavania titles. Mana have probably already done a huge chunk of art. We believe she have done all the backer portraits and perhaps even some paintings spread across Gebel's castle.
For me Mana represent Bloodstained classic era of art.

Holy crap Mana, that's incredible! We (Fangamer) would love to sell this as a poster (or even a giclee) in our store!! And you better make that a BIG poster. I might get a castle for this one!

I would perhaps want everything. Perhaps someone else feels this way too, and knowing they must finish a trial of boss fights could be tedious.
Hmm. I might have split opinions on this. If we unlock things only for that mode, it would see it be just fine actually. The very thought of my friend have all the things, but not me feels bad. And even if the things are used zero times, people still have OCD, and must get everything.
For me personally, this is no concern, I however tend to think on the "whole aspect / community" rather than me, myself & I.

What kind of rewards do you get for trying out the mode in Castlevania games? This specific trend really started with Aria of Sorrow. Aria of Sorrow's unique rewards Dawn of Sorrow had the joke-weapon Portrait of Ruin had mostly item rewards All of Order of Ecclesia's Boss Rush rewards were pieces So it seems you are obligated to do good in a mode, that you perhaps dislike, to progress better in the main game? Is this correct?
I am all against those things. Options are great, if we are rewarded with things in Boss Rush, it should either be items you can obtained my playing normally, or estetics to things you already have that doesn't make you stronger or better in any way. A change in color in something are a reward enough. Perhaps costumes and such for all the characters etc.
Thanks for the info Galamoth!

Video by Fice Gaming TV
"Today we are doing our first video-game impressions video and the game we decided to talk about is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! We dive into the game to see some of the game-play mechanics story aspects and possible hope of some of the things we have scene in the past from Koji Igarashi's classic castlevania symphony of the night. This game is definitely starting to look interesting and i cant wait to see how it turns out as an end product if you guys did want to support this game ill will put the kick starter link right here. Thanks again for checking out the video! Stay tuned for more videos to come!"
I responded in the comments to answer a few questions he asked himself / the viewer:
A few answers on the questions from this video
Miriam represent Blue. Gebel represent Red. Combine those and what do you get? Yes, purple.
And it is a demo, you will not find double jump (which is not fully animated here) that easy when you adventure the huge castle. The environment aren't finished either. This is a alpha build you guys are seeing.
Backers are getting a Swordwhip in some tiers, guns are in the game too along with the whip and spear, swords, knives and boots for kicking.
You have Robert Belgrade coming back (voice of Alucard), David Hayter (Solid Snake, Metal Gear) and soon they reveal the rest of the cast. The voice actors are top. Japanese voice actors were recently announced.
First boss is Bloodless, and are from the 2nd Demo. Vepar, the first boss are on Galleon Minerva level, which is the 1st Demo.
Release of this game is 2018, not March! < That one is a placeholder from gaming sites!
The game have an official forum and discord, if any questions find me / us there.
Also, you can still back the game. igavania dot com is the address.

Reddit post from user SwearWordInUsernameLink: www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/73r15k/today_i_met_koji_igarashi_the_godfather_of/Link 2: www.reddit.com/r/Bloodstained/comments/746x4t/thank_you_mr_igarashi_and_mana/Text -----------------------------TL;DR: Met the creator of castlevania symphony of the night and paid tribute to my dear belated best friend! A few months ago i had an incredible idea for paying tribute to my best friend, Adamwho passed away a little over 2 years ago. Images: imgur.com/gallery/XO1UXSee, Adam and I were gamers and one particular game which we bonded over was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. An incredible masterpiece produced by Konami and directed by the great Koji Igarashi or "IGA" for short. When i say that we bonded over this game what I really mean is we played the shit out of it, obsessed for years with turning over stone in the game. When Adam passed, it impacted me greatly. Especially the fact that I was overseas when it happened. I didnt know how to deal with it properly, we had been friends for 20 years. This is actually what sparked my game collection up (43 ps1 black labels and coubting). Basically trying to recapture something that no longer exists. I decided to slow down on collecting recently but not before obtaining my pristine, complete black label copy of symphony of the night. Around this time i came to find out that Mr Igarashi and a dream team of voice actors, developers, musicians and art directors have been working on a new project. Bloodstained: ritual.of the night, a spiritual successor to symphony of the night although not published by Konami. I perused their kickstarter page to find different tier options. At the very bottom, for $5000.00 youd not only get a copy of the game along with a bunch of other stuff, but youd be able to design your own enemy in the game. Just then i recalled a part of Adams final words "if i become a ghost, i promise i will be a friendly ghost". For those of you who dont know castlevania, its all about slaying ghosts, zombies and a multitude of other macabre entities. I thought to myself "What more perfect tribute could there be other than to reincarnate Adam as the friendly ghost he described before he died in the spiritual successor to a game we cherished?" I began working to find email addresses and other contact info to get in touch with the staff. I eventually found an email which lead to the company who was handling their kickstarter page. I sent them the story, they were moved by it and then provided me an email address for the Bloodstained team. I expressed extreme gratitude and contacted a friend of mine and Adams with an english major to help me compose a heartfelt email. 17 days had passed and i had not heard back from anyone until the 18th day when none other than Koji fucking Igarashi responded to me. He was also moved by my request and considered all possible options for me however the tier for designing a character in game was closed and so therefore a special exception would not be fair to the other fans who had already paid. I was happy that i had persued this far fetched idea and actually got to virtually speak to the man himself despite the fact that my request could not be fulfiled. A few months later i decided to book my lifelong dream trip to Japan, a month later i decided to shoot Koji another email (so weird to say that so casually). I wondered if at least it would be possible to get my copy of sotn signed since im going to be there anyway. His team responded a few days later saying "yes". My heart dropped a bit and the result is that i met koji igarashi, the creator of castlevania symphony of the night! He signed my copy as you can see "For Adam: may your soul play on for eternity in the symphony of the night" wtf! Cool as hell. I cant describe how amazing this is. A game i played 20 years ago and have such vivid childhood memories of. Then to meet the dude who created it, have him give me some of his time and write a tribute to my best friend on the other side of the freaking world 20 years later.....absolutely insane. My day is complete and nothing is ever too far fetched. Adam, may your soul rest in peace my dear friend. Follow your dreams! Fun fact: Mr. Igarashi's favorite Final Fantasy game is #3 and he didn't know that it wasn't released in North America on a standard console. At this point he began obsessively researching it on wikipedia with a huge smile on his face. Furthermore; you can get your copy of Bloodstained here. It will be released in 2018. Edit: words Edit 2: On top of all of this, it's also my cake day. Best present ever.
