I.. really hope this is fake. Personally, not a fan of "Soulsborne" games. Also, am strongly opposed to the idea Sony gaining full ownership of the IP. If Castlevania were ever to make a console comeback, I'd want it to be available as many platforms as possible. I personally think it's just a rumor. I won't say it's impossible or not happening, but a lot of these "leaks" end up being either some guy just making stuff up or some other guy exaggerating what he overheard at a company meeting. Occasionally they're true, but with such a track record you'd be ill-served to bet on them.

R.I.P. Roguelike mode and hello Randomizer mode. And nothing of value was lost... just kidding!
I have some interesting ideas for the randomizer mode that don't require to modify the castle layout, create new assets, or make big adjustments to the game: Here are my ideas for the randomizer mode: - Permadeath. [Unchanged, enable permadeath] (If enabled, if you die, you will start from the beginning, also you cannot save in save rooms). - Start in a random location. [Unchanged, random location] (except boss and special rooms like save/warp rooms, etc) - Start with a random weapon. [Unchanged, random weapon] - Start with random equipment. [Unchanged, random equipment] (If enabled, you can get 1 random headgear, armor, scarf or accesory) - Start with a random shard. [Unchanged, random shard] - Start with random stats. [Unchanged, random stats] - Randomize enemy and boss stats. [Unchanged, random enemy and boss stats] - Randomize enemy locations. [Unchanged, random enemy locations] (Except bosses) - Disable healing in save rooms. [Unchanged, no healing in save rooms] - Disable enemy item drops. [Unchanged, no enemy item drops] (Except key items) - Disable enemy shard drops. [Unchanged, no enemy shard drops] (Except movement shards) What other ideas do you have to make the randomizer mode fun and addictive? I think not being able to save at all might be a little harsh, in roguelikes you can save, your save file just gets deleted if you die. Unless you're speedrunning, this game can take more than 24 hours to find everything.

I backed the "Architect's Secret Map" tier. Here's what I received: -Collector box -T-shirt -Signed slipcase -Signed soundtrack case -Kickstarter slipcase -Hardcover artbook -Poster -Soundtrack CD -Keychain -Button -Rose lapel pin -Temporary tattoo What I did not receive: -The retro strategy booklet (I have already received the pdf version, but not the physical version if such a thing exists) -A physical copy of the game (I requested the GoG option for both digital and physical) -The map promised for my tier level
I'm not sure about the other two, but I know the map is coming--I didn't get mine either, and when I asked they said they were gonna send it later on in a tube, so as not to hurt it by folding.

rav4ishing I haven't played either, but from what I've heard, it's very different from Salt and Sanctuary but somewhat closer to Dead Cells.

It's over man, game over man. Switch version is fucked. Don't be too quick to say that, my friend. Yes, the delay is a shame, but if the problems with the Switch port are so severe, it makes sense they'd want to take as much time as possible to correct them. I can't counsel anyone to be patient at this point--I'm displeased with the delays and I don't even have a Switch--but I won't say the Bloodstained team has abandoned Switch backers either.

I wish them luck, but man, what you mentioned about SGP is precisely why I don't kickstart anything anymore. The model is absolute cancer.

I told Angel, he should be checking it out to see if something suspicious is afoot.

All right. I'll send this over to Question and Angel personally, it seems like Akr's concerns are shared by many other backers so we should get the higher-ups to address them as soon as possible. Thanks for the translation, dareka .

Guys, let's not throw around accusations of entitlement on either side--both have legitimate points. On the one hand, more revenue from Bloodstained means more money for Bloodstained 2, which a lot of folks want to see. On the other hand, as alluded to by other posters above, nobody wants shady practices like we've seen from EA and whatnot. With that said, the weight of opinion seems to be against paid cosmetic DLC. While I don't agree with that personally, the people have spoken and it's my responsibility to accede to the democratic will of the community. So I'll tell Angel and the gang that the forum community at least seems to be generally opposed to paying for cosmetic DLC, and by a respectable margin too. However, I have to be honest, I get the feeling the decision has already been made. As of right now there are 54 votes on this survey, the official one from 505 has gotten many more--to put it lightly. If that one didn't have an option for "no cosmetic DLC at all," or an option of zero dollars for the price, I suspect the decision to release paid cosmetic content has already been made and 505 and IGA want to see which ones would be most profitable. But again, for what it's worth I'll convey the community sentiment to Angel and Question, though since I'm a volunteer rather than an employee, it's not as if I'm much more than one more vote on the forums

gunlord500 Dude, have you seen the owner numbers on steam alone? This game sold incredibly well. They don't NEED paid cosmetic DLC. 505 wants it. It's a game publisher, that's all. Of course they're not going to say no to some extra profits, no matter if they already have more than enough to make a sequel. There's never such a thing as too much money, though. Besides, I certainly do want me a Succubus Miriam :3

I'm all for paid cosmetic DLC. The resources spent on it would be minimal but the money from sales would help funding for a sequel, which would be useful for us, especially if we don't want to deal with another Kickstarter.

To be fair, Mourning and EB, the campaign goal said it would be IGA's biggest castle, not "game" specifically. Going off the letter of the promise, Bloodstained's castle is the biggest individual castle, with SotN's larger number of rooms being attributable to having another version of a smaller castle. And in terms of area, as Purify and Angel have said, this is objectively and indisputably the biggest castle because the way the map is organized means individual rooms are considerably larger in RotN than they were in SotN
Now, you could say this is a very legalistic interpretation, and I can understand being disappointed that there's not as many individual rooms as there was in SotN, but to technically fulfill a contract is still to fulfill it, and given some of the drawbacks of SotN's approach (such as *repeated* uses of Finale Toccata and Lost Painting), I'd say Bloodstained went quite a ways to fulfilling the spirit as well. And in fact, in terms of shards, abilities, etc., it is the biggest game. So I don't think it's especially legalistic either ;p
