Very nice week, as usual! Lots of relaxan and eatan good food, here's the lowdown: gunlord500.wordpress.com/2017/03/31/living-the-good-life-episode-27-march-31-2017-good-times-as-usual/I also saw the new Ghost in the Shell movie today...It was better than I was expecting, but still not that great...very forgettable, IMO. The music tracks in the movie itself weren't too bad, and the spider tank looked cooler in action than it did in the art. On the other hand, I thought the acting pretty bad. I had to stop myself from snickering every time that doctor lady said something, and the script left a lot to be desired too. "Yoo ah naht a robut. Yoo haf a ghust, a sohl."

Yeah, I'd like to have Dominique playable too We have 3 playable characters, and aside from Miriam, I'll bet one is Zangetsu, so have Dominique in there!

Also, here's something cool. It seems like IGA's really done his research on alchemical lore. Alfred's bio says he wants the Book of Logaeth in Gebel's possession. I looked it up and found this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian_magicVery cool!

What a great update! Haha, like I said in discord, it seems like my guess in the "who do you think the new characters will be" thread was on target...we've got a very attractive ally for Miriam, don't we? ;D

Good week for me generally. Here's what I've been up too ;D gunlord500.wordpress.com/2017/03/24/living-the-good-life-episode-26-march-24-2017-moar-berserk/I also went and saw the new Jake Gyllenhaal space horror movie, "Life." Urgh...the production values were high and the acting was good, but IMO all in all, it was still mediocre. No spoilers, but the movie more or less covered the same story beats we all already saw in Alien, except the monster is dumber looking and far less distinctive. It's not a waste of money, but it's pretty forgettable. Ah, well...

Just a quick note for anyone thinking about Switch(heh)ing: Steve and the fangamer gang have received literally over a thousand emails in just the past day, so if you sent them an email and haven't gotten a reply back yet, don't be surprised! Just give them some time to work through these ones. Man, the excitement over this announcement sure is energizing! Seems it can only be good for Bloodstained to hitch a ride on all the hubbub about the Switch

Just had a plot idea that at various points throughout the castle (probably locked behind boss fights) are magi-crystal cursed children chained up and used as summoning beacons to keep demons flowing into the castle. You have to free their souls and stop the flow of demons to that part of the castle. Oh, now that's a cool idea! It certainly would make sense in the context of the plot, too. I like the Floofypants thing too, as well XD XD

Hey guys! As you may have noticed from the latest mini-update, the Fangamer team said "Your regularly scheduled update is coming very soon! IGA has prepared introductions for three of the characters Miriam will meet as Bloodstained gets underway…"
So, who do you think it's gonna be? I have some ideas:
1: I bet we'll see a female shopkeeper type character, like the jeweler from OoE or something. More girl power! ;3
2: A character that helps with weapon/item fusion, since we saw weapon alchemy in the initial kickstarter concept art
3: A recurring villain type character, like Gebel's right-hand man or something.
What do you guys think? Any ideas? :hype:

Hmm, that's a good question. I'm not sure what the challenges would be going from basic PS4 to PS4 pro, but it's definitely something to consider. Maybe I'll try to get it to IGA in the next Ask IGA event

Yeah, the unexpected thing with the Switch announcement along with the blizzard is a heck of a one-two punch. I hope we get an update soon, but I'm not surprised it's taking so long

Haha, what a nice thread I'm certainly thankful for my mom, but I'm also thankful for all the ladies at Artplay, Fangamer, and IGA's team! Mad props to Michiru Yamane, the other team members, and of course our very own Mana for all the hard work they do! We'd be much worse off without them, especially without Mana...I can't tell you how much easier it is to keep things going smoothly when we have Mana as our expert liaison between us and the team

Hey XombieMike , all I could say is that it wasn't a hoax, and that it did seem like some Switch users from Europe saw it in their news feed. We now know what happened internally and we'll have an official statement to the public as soon as we are ready. Thanks for getting back to us! This answers our questions It's definitely nice to see the team on top of things and making sure everyone else is informed, this sort of clarity is just what we're looking for in a Kickstarter

Yeah, good call, XombieMike. The game may or may not be coming out on the Switch, but I've seen a lot of screenshots get faked, so if other folks have mentioned the news isn't showing up for them, something fishy might be going on. It's definitely best to wait for confirmation from the team.

Like I said in chat, I was sorta expecting this. The Wii U was nearing the end of its lifespan and the Switch seems to be really hot (a lot of people are buying it due to Breath of the Wild, I hear). Putting Bloodstained on the Switch may be a sensible way to capitalize on the system's success Now, I wonder if our update will mention this...it seems to be pretty important, so I'd wager Steve and the other folks will really wanna think about what they're gonna say, what sort of information the fans would be most concerned about, and if they wanna reveal any other stuff

I like the avatar too, but let's get back to Lasagna cat XD
On that topic, I honestly wonder if Jim Davis is aware of this channel. I know he knew about the "Garfield without Garfield" strips so I'm curious what he makes of these.

I'm... really bad at giving thank you speeches, but I want to thank this community for being so good. I've seen too many forums that seem to just be warzones and periods of calm between warzones (ex. the official FFXIV forums). This forum has been exceptionally civil, with very few if any moments that really look like they required mod intervention. I have been part of precious few forums, because too many of them are like that, but the Bloodstained forum is something I'm happy to be a part of. Although, when I look at those longer, more analytical posts made in the threads dedicated to the Updates, it does a good job of making me feel like I contribute nothing here, hehe. Haha, don't feel that way, Scuttlest! One thing I'm definitely thankful for around here is your reasoned and thoughtful commentary whenever you post

I actually use "Recent posts" pretty much exclusively, too. It's very easy to skim over everything once or twice a day to see what's been going on since I was gone, what people are talking about, if there are any issues anyone's been having, etc. So yeah, definitely be careful to use spoilers liberally. We even have a button on the quick reply screen to make it easy ;D

On 1/25/17 Igarashi emailed a correction to the Runic Forger update. I'm a bit late, but the original post is now properly updated. Nothing major to report, just a small clarification regarding guns. It turns out the elemental effects are assigned to the bullets instead of the guns themselves. So you could hypothetically have the same gun firing a variety of bullets with different attributes. Enkeria raised an interesting point regarding developer feedback and images. I can't speak for the other contributors, but I have received some limited feedback on my monster proposals. I haven't been asked to sign any nondisclosure agreements, but I still think it's important for us to respect the process and keep those discussions private. At least until Mana says otherwise... As for images... I haven't sent the team any concept images yet. All of my proposals are detailed in writing, and the negotiations are still ongoing. Once we reach an agreement, I'll begin sending some concept images, and I'm sure the development team will respond accordingly. Personally, I think it's ok for the content contributors to share their own images, but I'm not sure about sharing any concept art from the development team. Maybe Mana has an opinion on this? REDtheBEAST neff Torg Thomas have any of you sent off any images yet? I sent my initial feedback after Mana contacted me, but I have not received a response of any kind. I must say i'm a bit disappointing with the communication regarding the upper tier rewards. I had been told directly during the campaign that I would get to communicate with the dev team regarding my concept, but it appears that simply is not the case for Hounds of Hell contributors... In fact I never directly received my content contributor survey to begin with. It was Mana who reached out on this forum based on my post history to ask if I was going to participate. The deadline had come and gone and only because of Mana was I able to learn that I nearly missed my opportunity. For the amount of money spent, and the small pool of people who were able to donate at the upper tiers, I feel a better effort could be made to communicate with backers like myself. For all I know there have been follow up emails, but since I never received the first one I can only assume I won't receive any additional direct communications. I just hope they do my pet justice in-game. (After all, that was the whole reason I contributed to begin with) Thomas. just checking, but have you looked at your spam folder in your email account? A lot of places, like Yahoo mail, gmail, etc. often put some important stuff in there automatically, it's happened to me But if so, the staff is working on it and you should get someone to get in touch with you soon--if someone hasn't already gotten back to you!
