I get what you're trying to do and say, but the suggestions forum is more for discussions where someone brings a specific game idea or feature to the table and people build on it (e.g. Miriam having her own room in the castle). This is really more of an ongoing, open-ended discussion since you're asking for opinions.
Still, it is good to actually discuss if or how nudity should be done in Bloodstained.

Hopefully I don't offend anyone by saying this but I have seen this brought up numerous times on the forum I did a search before posting this thread and I couldn't find a thread specifically about this subject. There was a some discussion about it in other threads. The only one that sticks out to me was this one about the ESRB rating. It's mostly about violence, but there was a little bit of talk about nudity. bloodstainedfanforums.com/thread/623/bloodstained-rating

Due to how little we know about Bloodstained at this point, my stance is a mix between "depends on how it's done" and "does IGA actually want to include it?".
If the nudity or sexual elements feel like it's appropriate with Bloodstained's story, context, themes, and doesn't try too hard to be fanservice-y just for the audience, it shouldn't be an issue. I'm thinking along the lines of background statues/paintings, succubi being succubi, nudity as a symbolism for purity or rebirth, showing Miriam or Gebel's bodies in regards to the crystallization curse representing loss of humanity, or character development (e.g. the main cast of characters discover a nude painting or statue of Miriam in Gebel's castle. How would they react? Would Miriam draw a mustache on it, destroy it, ignore it, or say "is this how Gebel sees me?").
I also understand wanting to have fun, goofy moments or costumes that also happen to be sexy, and I'd be okay with those as long as it doesn't become the focus, selling point, or end up being too different from the Kickstarter campaign's original vision/pitch.
At the same time, whether or not nudity is featured should be IGA's choice since it's his game and he knows what he wants. It's possible that the game could end up being rated M, he includes everything he wants, and there's no nudity simply because IGA doesn't feel like using it.

By the time the last few updates got posted, the funding was already more than halfway to the next character goal. Is the campaign getting more money at a quicker rate right now? Or is that because LZ just fell behind with their character updates due to Thanksgiving?

a Force Kick to the head! Recruited a dead dude?! That was from an Episode 7 trailer, so technically he's not dead by the time Vader was around. Recruitment is tricky business. If you're not careful... you can get canned.

Thoughts/observations on the episode (spoilered for length). -This is the second podcast episode I've listened to that talked about how KFC for Christmas is a big deal for Japan. I can't remember if the other episode I'm thinking about was from an old MGS4 developer podcast from years ago or Camoflaj Radio. Either way, Ryan Payton was involved.
-The opening talk about Gal Gun makes me feel glad that Liam from the Super Best Friends/Best Friends Zaibatsu finally has something new to play on his PSVita.
-Matt Papa's story about meeting one of his heroes at a convention and getting a job reminded me of how Anthony Burch got his job at Gearbox Software (Mikey Neumann invited him to hang out a PAX con and it turned out the whole thing was actually a stealth job interview).
-You are not alone Matt, I also think the English dub of Shin-Chan is better (this was also the moment that sold me on the promise of Matt Papa being a cool guy). The English dub of Sgt Frog is pretty fun. I actually appreciate how jokes in both shows were changed to make sense for American audiences since all I really wanted was to be entertained.
-Saying someone's nice is a bold statement to make on the internet. I highly doubt Mega Ran is nicer than Brentalfloss or Smooth McGroove.
-Whoa. Kinda cool that Konami responded, but at the same time, I'd have to agree with Mike. The music the podcast needed was within itself all along.
-A lot of truth in the comments about learning languages (or, learning in general). People who are willing to learn have a better time learning.
-IGA works for Arc Play, not IntiCreates. I was not aware of that.
-Huh. The Community Manager will not be an Inti employee. That sounds like a good thing to know.
-Merch talk. (Insert Spaceballs reference here.)
-Speed running! Where the real long-term community for the game is made! (Free advertising, people discover and discuss techniques/routes, events like Games Done Quick can be fun.)
-Member questions and answers, and questions from other communities!
-I can get on with my life now that I know Bloodstained will not have a panel at PAX South. (Joke's on them, it was never really that big of a deal for me! I'm planning on going no matter what! Ha ha ha!)
-The response to "will there be a famous TV actress for Miriam?" was "maybe", and I am choosing to interpret that as "Aubrey Plaza is confirmed to play Miriam."
-The closing talk about Gal Gun makes me feel glad knowing that Woolie and/or Pat will have awkward reactions as they join Liam when he plays it for the Best Friends youtube channel.
-Thanks for another Indivisible plug! I'd love to see that game happen.

Looks like Vader needs someone to help out with recruitment. Maybe the Expanded Universe has a character for that.

Hey folks! The next update will probably be in Early December (likely about a week from now), and we're also planning to have another update posted later on in December. Steve beat me to it—the tentative date is exactly a week from now. We've seen a few screenshots with the first shader they're working on and everybody in the office is pretty excited about it (If they get it locked in early enough I plan on tweeting out a teaser on Friday...) They won't have the second shader done until the very end of the month, though, so we thought it would be better to let them sweat the details on it a little longer rather than rushing out something they aren't really excited about. Right now the current plan is to show you the first two shaders in about a week and the other two candidates in the regular December update at the end of the year. Thanks for sharing what to expect with the shader situation and the heads-up about the delay! It sounds like you're making the right choice. I'd rather take a bit more time to do something right than just rush something out.

Clearly a well-run campaign -- good gauging of interest, but also good timing of rollouts of information and "surprises"... I think this one will make the full 12 episode target. There's also the brand name audience to consider. MST3K was on TV for 10 years, has cult following, and there's still an audience for the stuff they're doing (Rifftrax, Let's Plays, etc). It doesn't guarantee success, but it does help a lot. I'm curious to see what gets revealed during the Turkey Day marathon (and I hope they show Pumaman, Cave Dwellers, or Space Mutiny).

Also, when backing on Indiegogo, make sure you choose a reward tier as you're filling everything out. There is an actual difference between a pledge (you get the reward) and a donation (you get nothing even though you paid money). Let me make sure everything first I see my perk as a backer in the order details, should be okay right? Yes, it should be.

Well, the thing I mentioned yesterday got resolved.
Long story short: After I finished eating, I had car trouble. Today, the car got fixed. It didn't cost any money and it is fine now.

New update happened yesterday. It goes into casting announcements, why they cast who they did, Turkey Day marathon details, and if the campaign reaches $2.75 million before Thanksgiving everyone at $35 and up will get three more free old MST3K episodes in addition to the ones that were already offered. The $35 tier is looking pretty good right now.

They take your money immediately but if the campaign fails, they refund your money in full You can demand a refund anytime before I believe the last 24 hours You don't need an account to actually pledge (just a card or paypal) or to later change your pledge but making an account makes it easier to upgrade or lower your pledge At least they do a refund IF the campaign fails (Which I think will not, considering the publicity) Since I backed it, they just take the money, which scared me Because I never used Indiegogo Also, when backing on Indiegogo, make sure you choose a reward tier as you're filling everything out. There is an actual difference between a pledge (you get the reward) and a donation (you get nothing even though you paid money).

There's always room for Wilhelm screams in Star Wars, just like how there's always room for new characters and stories.

Hope everything gets better for you from here on out thrashinuva.
As for my day, it started out pretty good. I trimmed my facial hair to something more reasonable since I thought it was beginning to look bad, deposited a paycheck, and went to my favorite ramen place because they were serving turkey ramen as part of a Thanksgiving special.
Then something beyond my control happened and made everything end on a sour note. I'd rather not go into detail about it yet since it's still being dealt with, but at the same time it's nothing life-threatening.

I want it to be Undertale in order to get some Undertale fan money, kinda like how Lab Zero supported Mane 6 by offering the Z engine and got some brony money. But I have a feeling it'll end up being Shantae or a Them's Fightin' Herds character.
