Oh ! You should share your work to Igarashi-san, like on Tumblr ! I am pretty sure he would like it a lot and request for more ! This is all good and funny. Nice pixel art !

I chose Shader #1. However, I really like what XombieMike did with the custom shader. It gives another vision of what could be Shader #2 in the final product. Actually, I still prefer the colors from the #1 but I agree with the idea, expecially about the details displayed.
To me, #1 is : • Brighter • Warmer • More detailed • Less "gridded" • More beautiful in terms of : - Shadows - Colors - Ambiance
I think we got to gather people's opinion about Shader #2 though. We need more polls like this one with more rooms, different spaces with a blue tone like Mike suggested. I hope it won't be the last pair of shaders Igarashi-san & Inti Creates will share with us. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for the subject.

First in first, will she speak ? Many of main heroes say nothing. I hope she will do though. If so, I hope she won't have a lolicon voice or, on the contrary, a too mature one. I don't really know voice actors' name but I trust in Igarashi-san's choice anyway.
I can only refer to anime about voices and I think Kuchiki Rukia from Bleach would fit. Her voice isn't too much young or old. I'm sure a lot of other voices would do the trick too but this is the best I have in mind (maybe because they have a similar hair cut and color, face and expression). I tend to remember men's voices better.

Definitly agree ! I think Igarashi-san already thought about this. These audio depend on the game's content : If there will be fairy monsters, secrets rooms, etc. I voted yes anyway !

I rarely play with a shield but I agree it looks usually good and tastes are wide. What about a ghostly shield (with a paste blue tone) summoned by magic ? It could fit the aesthetic of the game. I am sure IGA's team can find something cool to make from this anyway.

I would say : Harder than SotN. I want a real challenge in this game. Not something impossible though. I think we need to have a "chill mode" to enjoy the story and basically we should not face a terrifying challenge if we're just here to enjoy the lore. Two specific spheres but both present. "Il en faut pour tous les goûts" like we say in French (~ all tastes must be pleased).

Basically, for a Nightmare Mode, I don't think it just needs to make monsters stronger where you will only need to farm and XP until you beat their terrifying level. I think they got to have harder AI so you HAVE TO learn to dodge their attacks correctly, know their weaknesses, use a thinked strategy and not just "go in and smash until it's dead". Well, a REAL change, that is all.
Medusa's Heads are annoying. To me, a zone full them was too much but if you put one or two in a melee it can supports other monsters and be a real pain to your life gauge, if you are stonned in middle of dangerous monsters.
Only attacking monsters is pretty predictable. If they have tank monsters like knight armors, with medusa's to stone you while skeleton snipers shoot at you in the same time, it can make a difference. Monsters names are only exemple and this is only one situational possibility.
Well, from what I see usually in difficulty modes, it's only makes monsters stronger, tougher, more numberous with better loots. In Devil May Cry 3 for instance, bosses use more skills (more dangerous and / or powerful ones), are stronger, faster and are less predictable if you pick a higher level of difficulty.
We could see environment dangers too (spikes, lava, poison clouds, etc...). Well, you get the idea.

I like how they fit the lore, but now when they fill an entire zone turning it into a puzzle jump zone. With a more balanced number on a wider area, I agree. Maybe a boss would fit.

As long as you keep Infinite Stonning Medusa's Head far from me, I will be okay. I like smashings zombies and skeletons however.

If you ask me, I want a floating roc under a red sky where you will face an ocean of flying demons while the evil is opening the gate to Hell, but that is a cliché.

Thank you for the support. Innocents are, once more, sacrifieced for ideas. Though, thanks to people's support all around the world, Paris stands still. More than Paris itself, we should also pray for global peace.

It sounds like a Time Attack mode, which I like for the challenge. The idea is close from the Speed Run though, which will be include in the game anyway.

In my opinion, it all depends on the type of the game. For Castlevania, I definitly prefer 2D. I know few about 2.5D but I still like it a lot from my experience in Assassin's Creed Chronicles : China. I do think it will be perfect for an IGAvania.
Which surprises will bring Bloodstained to us ? I tend to think 3D cinematics would be really awesome. To me, 2D ain't better than 3D and the reverse thing is also correct. What can bring 2D ? What can bring 3D ? What is 2.5D ? What if we pick 2D and use 3D for cinematics, 2.5D for exploration ? It is like colors in the end. Red and blue are both beautiful when correctly used. Everything has its interesting part. So I think a 2.5D Castlevania-like will be a great experience.

Basically, I suggest :
• Peaceful stance : Get activated when allied PNJ are nearby and / or Miriam stands in a peaceful area (no monsters) // weapons visible but on Miriam's belt / back. • Neutral stance or Exploration stance : The default stance Miriam uses to explore the Castle or when she is doing nothing (outside a peaceful area) // weapons on hands but keep neutral look / attitude. • Hostile stance : Activates when monsters are nearby and / or hostile area (damaging environment like toxic plants or lava, boss in sight...) // Fighting attitude. • Cheerful stance : After defeating boss, rescuing an ally, fulfilling an important objective (finding the final key, a secret potion of power...) // I hesitate between weapons on belt and no weapons displayed. • Rest stance : When Miriam is at her personnal room and / or in the merchant room (no weapon displayed).
+ several emotes maybe ? Laugh, cry, dance, throw a wine glass... And a unique stance for each type of weapon (sword, rapier, katana, whip, mace...)
edit : I misunderstood the subject but still keeping my ideas here, if never needed...

Castlevania : Symphony of the Night's intro. "Die monster ! You do not belong to this world !" and, you know what's next... I just love the epicness of this moment, I know it is a classic.

Well, let us remember that Bloodstained (and Castlevania games in general) is an Metroidvania which has action and RPG aspect. While you will gain levels, you will surely be able to spend perks on skills, weapons, character inner abilities, etc...
