My day was actually pretty nice. Worked out for two hours while watching Tekkaman Blade, got a little bit of work done on my dissertation, planning on getting a little more finished and then moving on to working on my fanfic--after 9 years and and 1 million words, I'll be posting chapter 78 of about 82 up at the beginning of September. Feels good man 8)

My favorite Classicvania would probably be SCIV, though that may just be nostalgia...it was the first Castlevania game I played with my best friend.
To be as classic as possible, I guess they'd have to stick with the SC1/SCIV formula (one character going through a set of stages, *maybe* with branching paths), but thinking about it, I suspect there may be no reason not to go with the Rondo formula. There are already multiple playable characters, so why not use them in a classicvania?

You guys are missing the point. This isn't about combos or being useful. The followup would probably be as useful as a second swing done in normal fashion. This is about looking good. It just looks goofy for the character to cut the animation and suddenly the weapon is back up. It's a minor detail, but aren't the minor, sometimes even useless, details that make the Igavania games so alive? Like the confession room, for example. It's so satisfying to see a fluid animation, even if it's not useful at all. Yeah, that is true, though of course we also have to decide how involved the follow-up animations would be. Would it just be shifts between two attack animations, like in the ones of Dark Souls (overhead swing - rising swing, ad nauseum) or more elaborate? Anything more than that might be a lot more work ;o

Warning, this is just my opinion. Hate, despise, disgusted. You're just buying toys with the excuse that they give some small bonus for Wii U games, and they're all over $10. I wouldn't touch Amiibos with a ten-foot pole. Though I have to admit, it's a great way to make easy money on Nintendo's part since it appeals to collectors. This pretty much. I just don't understand the plastic toy craze. I've seen too much negativity surrounding it to turn me off from it completely. Those that do collect and enjoy them, more power to you. Yeah, I know what you mean. I've heard horror stories about scalping and price gouging for Amiibos, really turned me off the whole thing. ~_~

Yes, he did say that he won't were going to include combos. But in this case, I think he was referring to combinations on D-Pad, like a hadouken, not combo moves. But here he indeed said it: Ah, I see. Thanks lely

Yeah, those are combos. Refresh my memory, did IGA say those wouldn't be in Bloodstained?

In Castlevania PoR we have a full set of Nun's outfit for Charlotte but we never actually see her wearing it I would love to see Miriam fully dressed as a nun. Not that sexy nun bullshit, a proper one. Given Miriam's generous bust, it may be hard for even the most modest nun's habit to *not* look a little sexy on her XD

Most likely there will be costumes for the backer clans based off the clans. I hope there's a Jorge D. Fuentes costume for the Dungeon clan 8)

I've never done a podcast before, but there's a first time for everything, I guess. If you need a commentator, I'd be up for it

I finally was able to get my calculus book today which means that I'll have official access to the online portion of the class which is good. I forgot to bring the food that I was going to eat which sucked and I was hungry during math. I remembered the basics of trig and I now remember about trig identities. Remembering math properties that I did in highschool for about a day sucks and requires a bit of time relearning at times. All I need to do for math now is to get a graphing calculator. Also I plan to help friends out in their math classes because they're all in lower math classes than me. Now I'll just have a little rant about my cat. I hate my cat at times. She put into my room to sleep but she is most active when I go to bed and sometime during the night. This would be fine if she just stayed down and played with whatever is on the ground but she doesn't. Instead she decides to climb up on my bed and proceeds to pounce on me. She brings out her claws which go through my blanket and through my pajamas and I can feel every time she does that and a few times it has really hurt. My left arm has a scratch near the elbow which has bled a little bit and I have a large scratch across the back of my hand which still hurts quite a bit. It also doesn't help that she has woken me up my doing this. If I push her off my bed also it only makes it worse as she will come at me even more aggressively. Ouch, what a silly kitty! Hmm...there are a few ways of dealing with cat claws, though. I strongly discourage declawing them, as it's very painful for the kitty. However, have you heard of soft paws? www.softpaws.com/soft-paws-cats/These are little adhesive rubber covers you can use to cover your cat's claws so they can't scratch furniture (or you, for that matter). They need to be replaced every few months, but they're fairly cheap, and most importantly, harmless to the cat!

Hey folks, just so you're clear on our future plans for updates: • We're planning to do a scheduled update once per month until the game is released, although the specific day the update will be posted on (e.g. 15th, 19th, etc.) will vary. • If there's a special event (or something time-sensitive) we may also post additional unscheduled updates. • Our goal is to summarize game development updates and community contributions (as well as the occasional special event) with each backer update. We'd like to avoid overloading everyone's inbox with smaller less substantial updates, as they could get tough to follow or catch up on if the information gets spread across too many messages. That seems reasonable, particularly the point about rapid-fire shorter updates getting hard to follow. That said, I personally would recommend trying to keep the specific dates *fairly* consistent--like, plus or minus 7 days from the day of the previous update (if it was on the 15th, for instance, the next should come out no earlier than the 8th and no later than the 22nd). As we've seen already, even small deviations can make people anxious. Regularity as much as possible might be a good thing! Re: Darkbrotherhood, I think the main thing for this update was mentioning PAX. I bet there'll be a ton of good stuff shown there

I really liked Monster Hunter Freedom on the PSP. That said, I wish the games came out on a powerful console, like the PS4. They'd likely look amazing.

This site seems like a good idea, but I'm with Scars Unseen...it doesn't seem like it has enough broad appeal to meet with as much success as Kickstarter did. Still, vetting projects might be a good idea, since there are plenty of crowdfunding scams out there ;-;

I filled out the survey as enthusiastically as I could, though I also said they should give Castlevania back to IGA! >
