The Con looked amazing. Wish I could have been there. I have two questions though: 1. If the print was being signed, does that mean it's official that Mana will be doing the additional marketing art? 2. Is there any way to get a copy as I couldn't be at the convention? (I understand that signing is for goers only, but I'd LOVE to get a copy of the print!) Thanks and hope you had an otherwise pleasant time!

So. . .
I know we're shooting for over 1k in votes, but what happens if we can't get that many people to vote? Will it still be considered a majority and worth putting forth from those who did?
Thank you

Symphony of the Night was my first love of so many things. My cousin had given me his copy, and I was somewhat dubious due to the history of the Castlevania games thus far. Traditionally, I had wanted to play them but due to the difficulty incurred by the limitations of the NES and just the overall frustration of frequently starting over and having the inability to in any way fortify your character, I had started veering away from them. But this was new. And it was awesome. From the very beginning, I was greeted with enthralling music, an amazing gothic environment that I could, in my writer's imagination, put myself into and a world and story so immersive that it left me constantly craving more. It let me explore a vast castle with secret areas, and permitted me to seek out items and other things that would not only sate the RPG player in me, but made it all the more intriguing. (*The succubus area being one such instance) You gave me a character both brave, yet tormented. (And, admittedly, also one of my first fangirl crushes.) It started - it really was my very first! - me on a journey that's taken half my life on collecting game and anime soundtracks. I remember simply doing silly things, like jumping around the screen just to watch how Alucard moved and the mesmerizing after-image the designers employed. The game was everything I could ever have hoped for, the best of an RPG and action game - and the only things I may have mourned over the years was the abysmal voice acting of everyone but Mr. Belgrade and the woman who did Maria; and a bit of bad dialogue. Even still, I wanted more. And despite Alucard not having any further direct stories - and other than the recent reboots which I am NOT a fan of - I can proudly say that I have played everything up through Aria/Dawn of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance. I love IGA's work and everyone involved and this game, even as a 'spiritual successor' was a project I was proud to support. It has everyone in every vein that I've come to love and respect in this industry and who have, past and present, been associated with these games. (IGA, Mr. Belgrade, Ayami Kojima, Mana, Nastume, Michiru Yamane, Yoshitaka Amano, and so many others who made this both special and one of the most beloved games I've ever played.) I think IGA deserves to have his dream of another game come true, and I have no doubt that with the assembled team, that this will be anything but amazing.
All The Best

I voted yes because I simply love Mana's art style and enjoy the nostalgic feel for all games from SOTN to Aria/Dawn of Sorrow. For everyone asking for Ayami Kojima, I love her art style as well, but if you look back through the Kickstarter site, she was unable to fully commit to the project due to other obligations, so she lent herself to the special slip-cover art for the game.
The other artist has also made some valuable contributions in terms of previous marketing of Bloodstained, so I think staying with what she has thus far contributed is great, but adding Mana would be a win-win. Maybe even a duel collaboration.
The truth is, this game has been from the best of al l worlds in terms of various artists, musicians, and designers. It is what will make this game the epic masterpiece we and IGA will dream it will become and I would hope, going forward, that in respect to everyone's valuable contributions and feedback - including us, the fans - that this will continue.
