Hey purifyweirdshard since your concern is one that I shared for the game (and other games I love with similar context), and is a topic near and dear to my heart, I will bring unto you this day the most minor of minor spoilers from the heavens above:"Don't worry about it"

Reinvigorated by the support of staunch friends and allies, I grab my holy sword once more and resolve to not let Bloodless' 'tricks' get in the way of her demise! I launch a caffeine fueled rampage of slashes and stabs, aiming at her cold crsytal heart! 5S4b8Sye1-201-6All that remains of my deadly attack is a broken, destroyed, dessicated pile of....bath curtains. I would normally feel frustrated, but still encouraged by the warm drink Ryngar Acia left for me, I bide my time and resolve to strike true with my next attack. 1-20·1-6

Frustrated at my enemy's attempt to escape my wrath, I remove my helm, bury my sword in Bloodless' dress on the ground to pin her in place, and resolve to set aside my knightly code of honor...
"DEMON...you are NO LADY!!!"
tightening my silver gauntlets, furious white flames spill out of my eyes as I unleash a flurry of savage punches!J4uau|_H1-20 1-6...but apparently I slip on some blood and...land on Bloodless?
...gotta make this a win somehow 1-20·1-6

Regaining my compusure after her less than honorable distraction, I throw my scabbard at Bloodless as a distraction of my own and as she shatters it with a swing of her parasol I'm already finishing a running lunge attack with my holy sword Lux.

Angel-Corlux Is this (https://i.imgur.com/m4D7clJ.jpg ) calamari? Anyways, looks like a lot of fun! Glad NYCC was such a success But anyways, yeah, I entirely agree with what purifyweirdshard said. I'm just a mod here rather than an official employee of 505 or Artplay or DICO, but even beyond my investment in the game, I've started to feel invested in its success on a personal level. I'm glad to hear 10k people played it, and I'm glad to hear it's doing well. It's as if I put a little of myself into the game, or more specifically the team, and to hear everyone's enthusiastic about IGA's game, and everyone loves Mana-mana's art, makes me feel as if I accomplished something too. Even if it's only as infinitesimal as giving IGA and Mana one less thing to worry about, or passing on how people feel about the art to them. Baked ziti pasta with ragu sauce and shaved parmesan, but I can understand why you'd think that!
And yeah totally feel the love from you fine folks volunteering your time, and all the fans in the community as well, it's like getting a spirit bomb over my head every day lol

"DIE FOUL DEMON!!!"
My holy sword "Lux" distorts the air around it, gathering filaments of light to it as moths to a flame...it unleashes a sustained beam attack of pure light, burning with the power of a thousand suns! opb6SKnh1-61-20But unfortunately Bloodless "accidentally trips" onto me in a shameless attempt to distract me with her womanly whiles...
... ... ...
It works. 1-6·1-20

They did indeed run on Windows PCs, we just used PS4 controllers as our peripherals this time and applied the light effect.
Did the demo displayed Playstation button prompts because of Dualshocks being used? Few games do that but I'd like to know because of I play this game on PC it will definitely be with a Dualshock 4 and not an Xbox controller. That's an interesting point you raise, I'll bring it up to the team to make sure that you can select the button prompts you need, if it doesn't already just switch on its own.

Loved the Dualshock4s with glowing purple light. I assume these demos ran on Windows PCs but by any chance were they running on PS4 hardware? They did indeed run on Windows PCs, we just used PS4 controllers as our peripherals this time and applied the light effect.

Hey there, sorry you didn't get a chance to see us in Tokyo, but don't worry too much...pretty soon that won't be a problem anymore...

Sounds fun. Any news or screenshots of the game? What version was playable there? You should see news articles on various sites popping up this week, and the playable demo was the E3 2017 demo but with slightly optimized / updated graphics and lighting. Very m inor stuff though, because literally all of the work the dev team is doing is on what's ahead, not a demo from the past.
Motoko
Yeah it was definitely a crazy time, but lots of fun as well in its own way, and very effective for the game, branding etc., so time/money/blood and sweat well spent...and more than one or two funny / weird stories too so there's that lol
CastleDan
I think it's that sweet sexy sheen the paper gives haha
purifyweirdshard That's so sweet of you to feel that way, but don't worry even if you couldn't be there in person your kind words and spirit are with us always, just like all the other super passionate fans who want to see us succeed. :3

Waaaait a moment, are you Italian too? I must have missed that. So awesome to see a fellow Italian being such a cool guy so important for the game I'm anticipating the most haha. Seems like you had a blast! The event looked gorgeous too. Si si! Italiano al 100%!
Haha yes indeed, I was born in Italy and although I grew up in the US of A and have dual citizenship, my whole family is Italian and we speak/eat/hug Italian, as Italian as it gets!
So when I found the restaurant lots of "eeeehhiiiiii" ensued and friendliness, stories and good laughs. So they treated us super well both in terms of quality, price and overall atmosphere. They even gave us some free Tiramisu desserts (that you see there).
And yeah it was definitely a blast, lots and LOTS of work, but all of it well worth it. Only regret is that I couldn't really explore the show itself, but such is life haha.

Hello army of the night!
Bloodstained attended New York Comic Con 2017 this past weekend! It was a wild ride and we hope everyone that had a chance to come see us had fun playing the demo and/or meeting Igarashi-san and getting Mana's fabulous art print signed by him.
So without further ado, I thought everyone ( or at least some lol ) would enjoy a sort of "debriefing report" to kind of get an appreciation of what it was all like, take a peek at some cool pictures, and see just how much hard work goes into promoting the game and helping it become the best success possible.
Here are some facts-only summary points: - We were at Booth #622, located in a prime location, if not the best location, right in front of the main entrance to the show, next to the Funko booth, in front of Star Wars and on the other side of the Triforce booth.
- We had 16 game stations, that were constantly filled (omg so much ushering lol) for the duration of all four days, starting slightly before 10am until 7pm every day.
- We literally almost had 10,000 people play the Bloodstained demo. (nuts!)
- We gave out 800 of the beautiful art prints designed by Mana of ArtPlay with the back of the prints designed by myself (pictures below) throughout the 4 days during daily exclusive signing and photo sessions with Koji Igarashi and Mana as well. (Literally everyone wanted Mana to sign the print too, it was so crazy to see, but also so awesome, as she deserves the recognition!)
- The signings were CRAZY successful, the line wrapped all around our booth and the Triforce booth, and I personally had to cap the line every day at 11:00, just so we could avoid going more than 20 minutes over the limit.
- SO MANY interviews. Ehrmagherd lol. After signings and a super quick lunch every day (sry Iga and Mana!) the entirety of the rest of the day Iga would be giving interviews to press and media, with Mana doing an amazing job as always interpreting for him. A huge thank you to them both for sticking it out! Only on the last day did it slow down a bit and I was happy to send them into the wild to check out the show haha. And now some STORY time:- We unfortunately had a young man waiting in line have an epileptic / seizure episode, I had a colleague cover for me while I called 911 and administered first aid, told everyone to calm down and shortly thereafter the medics came, followed by the actual ambulance paramedics. He returned the next day with his friends, all of which were really grateful to our staff for the help and were happy to get their signed prints and play the game.
- You'll think I'm making this part up, but during one of the more calm moments of the show, I was just watching the players making sure everything was ok, standing in the corner of the booth, when I catch out of the corner of my eye a little kid staring at me (couldn't have been more than 10 or 12) and when he sees me looking at him, he slowly starts walking towards me, then finally as he got closer he started running past the booth and as he runs past us he yells "DON'T BE MIGHTY NO.9 LOL" (he actually said 'lol' out loud) and I was just left standing there with this incredulous "lol wat" face. It was pretty funny haha.
- During one of the time periods for signings with Iga and Mana, I had to (as every other day) cap the line. This one young lady came up to the end of the line at 11:40 (after it was already supposed to be over at 11:30) demanding to be let in line, because I had told her to try coming back in a little bit and I would see if I could squeeze her in. (this happened at 11:00 mind you) She finally demanded to "speak to my supervisor" which really caught me by surprise, and I tried to to maintain professionalism as much as I could as I told her "I'm sorry but I'm the supervisor"...it was definitely a surreal moment...I even offered to get her a signed copy later, it was just the line for in person signings I couldn't add more people to due to interviews that came right after...but no joy...oh well...
...At least she wasn't as bad as this other guy who came back like three times after the signings were done on the last day and would just stare at me angrily when I told him that we had concluded signings. On the third time I literally just excused myself and went to attend the booth elsewhere. Like, you staring at me isn't going to enable me to go back in time bro... PICTURES! Here are some pictures for everyone to get a peek at the event and our presence there.
NYCC! The mega-entrance is huge...could fit a plane in there...The signs! What do they mean!?!?! Well..these were to let people passing by know about the free prints and signings [/font] The line forms! This was before I used my big boy voice and asked everyone to BACK UP >:[ lol This fan definitely looked dapper for his meeting with a vampire slayer... Some fans had some 'BIZARRE'...requests for making poses with Iga and Mana... XD What the fans came for! Iga signed in gold and Mana in silver...so pretty! I may or may not have one of these framed on my desk now.... I do. This is a little something I designed to put on the back of the art prints. As you can see I taught Mana everything I know when it comes to artistic talent...like...uh...saturating the vector...recalibration...of the...uh... matrix. Yeah. We even set up the PS4 controllers we were using to have their own magicrystal curse! Oh boy...Gebel and the demons don't stand a chance now...the UNSC is on the job with Miriam... We even got Red and Blue player from Contra ready to join the fight! When I said we had diehard fans come for the signed print and the demo...I meant it... You would not BELIEVE how many people just ignored this sign or tried to force their way past me. It's ok though...let me tell you, being a 6'2 tall dude when I gave them the "death gaze while smiling" you see in anime...all of a sudden they remember how to read signs... As always, I made sure to treat Iga and Mana (and my guys) right! Took them for a celebratory dinner at a nice Italian restaurant not too far from the event. Amazing food and great prices because of the "fellow Italian" discount! And then finally, it was time to go home...lots of things to take apart, we were all running on fumes but we knew what had to be done! If you want to look a lot more pictures, along with a BUNCH of people posing with Iga, head on over to this gallery here. (May take a second, still loading)
And that's it everyone! I hope you enjoyed this little window into our presence at NYCC, and as always feel free to ask whatever questions you may have and if I can I'll reply to you! Thank you to everyone who came to visit us, thank you to Igarashi-san and Mana for being amazing throughout the event as they always are, and thank you very much to my colleagues from 505 Games, without them this event couldn't have been a success!

I humbly request a potential idea for merchandising? How about Jigsaw puzzles? I for one would LOVE to have a 500+ pieces puzzle of Mana drawing. Hey there BalancedHydra I'll be totally honest with you, I love puzzles and would love to see something like this (got my Zelda puzzle a while back), but at the same time I can imagine it would be a bit of a headache to do...
so no promises...
but I heard you

XombieMike Wow. Just wow. This poll, along with all the outpouring of support, love and adoration for Mana and her art has blown me away, although not entirely surprised me. For now, I will lock this poll as I think it has been more than successful in communicating the wishes of some of the most die-hard Igavaniacs out there.
While I can't give everyone definite answers just yet, I can say the following:
- I have heard you, and as a result, so has 505 Games and ArtPlay.
- There will be one more, final update regarding this topic, as to whether or not Mana will be using her artistic talents for marketing assets moving forward.
- Expect that final update very soon.

Enkeria No worries, it's ok you repurposed the art to make your own backgrounds, stuff like that inevitably happens when you don't put official backgrounds out there. Honestly, as long as someone credits Mana as the artist and the Bloodstained logo is on it, I don't see the problem. They're backgrounds after all, we would never try to monetize them or anything.
Mana ah my bad I misunderstood, and was furiously quick typing when I thought you meant releasing the original max resolution versions

This was really impressive, so much so that I didn't understand it was Sun and Brainiac the first time I heard it. o.O Matrix and Enk did an awesome job too making it sound even more legit.
