I have a Huawei P9 Lite which is the cheaper version of the Huawei P9. It's really cool though, nice screen, easy to use, andy. Many useful functions. Fast. Good for games. I'm really satisfied !

added Shard Types Kaius ! Thank you ! I added colors to my ideas. I'm not sure if it's totally appropriate though. I think there is still a lot more to learn about the shard system.

I'd love to see more of the outside of the castle as well. Gardens around, a cemetery grave maybe ? A large bridge, I mean besides the Galleon. I loved SOTN, but it kinda felt you were stuck in a 100% closed building. Thats odd. I never felt that way and i've played the game so many times. Theres quite a few areas that take place outside like the castle entrance right after the bridge, that area with the impaled people, most of the castle keep, broken clocktower bridge, and that huge area with the fountain inside Olrox's quarters. Not to mention you can see the outside in alot of areas even if the character isn't there like the chapel and outer wall. Im sure you already know all this but I still can't quite see what you mean. I was thinking about outside areas, close from the Castle of course. Maybe it could have gardens since it has something to do with alchemy. I guess they had some fields where they get ingredients. Why not a small foggy lake when you'll face a monster with tentacles or something. I don't know, I'd like to go outside for real sometimes (even if it's within castle walls) and not just having a sight of the outside world.

I don't remember the different shard types well, I'm sorry but I'll still add my ideas : - ASTAROT - - Fire ball : He could make it grow on his hand and launch it then -> Provide a fire ball power that can be charged to increase power, but it makes you vulnerable to attacks while charging / Drop rate : 50%
- Fire breath : He could do that with his monster torso -> Spread fire on a small cone area but does affect every monsters in front of you and make them burn with slight DPS/ Drop rate : 35%
- Dark wings -> Allow you to fly (like 3m ahead) for 5 / 10 / 15 seconds according to your level (shard level or something maybe), giving you a small poisonous split attack that unbuff a single monster and deals slight DPS/ Drop rate : 15%
- MAFEIUS -
- High jumps -> Allow you to make 3 / 5 / 7 (according to your level) high jumps / Drop rate : 50%
- Slash from above -> Jump and dive onto an ennemy with weapon forward - DOES NOT WORK WITH GUNS / Drop rate : 35%
- Shadow ball -> Fires a mid-speed dark ball that damages all ennemies in front of Miriam until it fades away (hits 2 / 4 / 6 monsters) - ONLY WORK WITH GUNS / Drop rate : 15%
- GREMORI -- Clone -> Create a stand still double of Miriam that lures and slows down approaching ennmies beside turning real Miriam invisible for 2 / 3 / 5 seconds - DOES NOT WORK AGAINST BOSSES / Drop rate : 50%
- Mirror -> Instantly teleport Miriam behind her strongest ennemy in front and in sight leaving a shade at the casting place during the switch / Drop rate : 35%
- Black hole -> Charging a ball of void for 3 / 2 / 1 seconds that gathering nearby ennemies for 1 / 2 / 3 seconds dealing slight darkness DPS / Drop rate : 15%
It's nothing amazing but that's what these monsters inspire me. Astarot is very visualy attracting and it makes his powers kind of obvious. For the two others, I've based my ideas on their descriptions.

If ever my opinion can help... ~ What makes a great castle for me : - Secret rooms
- A lot of variety in rooms themes (ancient, science, library, artistic, gallery, caverns, etc... SOTN is a perfect exemple)
- Restricted areas (where a power is needed to get access)
- A throne room with or without an additional villain room (if the throne room was destroyed by the villain who decided to go underground instead for exemple (aka the villain room))
- Well placed save rooms, not close too much, not too far from each other (must not be punitive)
- A merchant
~ What makes a castle bad for me : - Linear and straight fowards rooms (I liked big corridors linking two parts in SOTN though)
- Puzzle jump rooms filled with stoning infinite-spawn monsters (yes, Medusa's head, I'm talking to you)
- Monsters abusing a room design to spam their power (a sniper skull on the top of an almost impossible jump, making it 105% impossible because of a simple hit)
- Too predictable monster paterns (only moving forward or always having the same jump length, etc...)
- A hard-to-access merchant
SOTN is a really good exemple for what makes both a good and a bad castle in my opinion.
It has an extremly wild variety of themes in rooms, it's a very big, dense and rich castle where you can find so much ways, secrets and beauty. But also, it had many annoying parts : Endless linear corridors with too predictable monster paterns (I'm not blaming it though because it's a retro game) and puzzle jumps with an ocean of infinite stoning Medusa (really made me want to break my controller... ha ! ha !)... I'd love to see more of the outside of the castle as well. Gardens around, a cemetery grave maybe ? A large bridge, I mean besides the Galleon. I loved SOTN, but it kinda felt you were stuck in a 100% closed building.

I agree for a dye option but it should not be a limitless dying function, like having millions of tons available. I think it should be like three or five color versions for different skins or maybe dyeings you will find in secret rooms within the castle. I think basically that allowing the player to have pink hair, flashy green shoes, high red skirt and sky blue shirt would be gross and would kind of ruining the aesthetic to be fair.

It reminds me about those robot spiders in Sonic the Hedgehog that are covered by pikes and launch electric balls at you. You can't hit them everytime and they also crawl on walls. Good idea !

How this remix sounds reminds of some Tales of Symphonia's tracks which have the same atmosphere and pinches. It's really cool to see this appearing. After the demo, I can't wait to see the next update, the next podcast, what we'll see no matter what it is (musics, arts, videos...).

I like to custom some things in a game, look and perks, room or abilities. Aesthetic is important so you actually like the character you play with. Also, if Miriam gets skins, Zantetsu and the mysterious 3rd character should too. I think otherwise, 95% of people will just play Miriam and the others will be left behind. Will it be a common or an individual room then ? I'm thinking more about an individual because Miriam should have a 'lady' room and I guess Zantestsu is probably the kind of guy having a simple room with a bed and something to carry his weapons and armors.

Since it will be released on Steam, I think it's pretty comfirmed there will be achievements, on Steam at least. Nowadays, only old games don't have it and still, some of them are updated just for that.

I definitly agree with your ideas ! It would make the menu more living and entertaining in my opinion. Basically, when you have a character in motion in the menu, you're the curious to experience what she can do ! I think it's a good point so people can have a little more fun in the menu. I guess it can be pretty easily made.
Other thing is, I would love to see her different skins in menu, instead of going back to the game to see what has changed. Besides, you can have a bigger view of equipments / skins changes this way.

In my opinion :
Local Co-op : Each player has a character (Miriam and Zantetsu for exemple) and : - Play the game, basically - Play mini-games I have no idea what are they planning on this one.
About asynchronous and challenge made, it's probably a kind of ladder when you got time attack scores, top 100 of highest level or something like that. We still have a lot to learn about additionnal contents to be fair !

Although, we can see that Miriam's stats don't go that hight with levels and they probably mainly up with equipement. Of course, it's a demo. I don't think they took someone leveling to 20 and more into consideration ! ha ! ha ! LOL Proooobably not. I still want to see the level 99 stats. Also, not entirely but somewhat related, I actually like that the damage counters in this game are smaller scale. It's just like Symphony of the Night. The GBA and DS installments had really sporadic and dramatic damage changes. Low numbers are good. Dunno why. Just my opinion. I agree with that. I'd rather see little numbers with actual value, which will make me feel proud when getting power, than going on the biggest number race.

I don't mind to be fair, since I will play it on PC. As long as I can keep the vanilla version, I'm fine. If mods can add interesting tweaks, why not ?
