Do you want Bloodstained 2 to use Kickstarter?

I absolutely have no problem since with creators like IGA it's pretty much like a pre-order at this point and it's up to them to then return the favor by releasing a good game that makes us feel comfortable repeating the process. However, I do want to say that I don't see myself spending $365 every time, who knows I could do it again and again too, but if they can release the games the old fashioned way that's also good too.

I'm not sure. I would say that I'm glad I was able to be a backer for this game and help put my own weapon in the game or perhaps the series. That alone gives me an feeling of personal investment I'll never replace. if this offer was back in the day, that would have been one of those wierdly expensive and laden with rules sweepstakes I wouldn't have won.

One the other hand, would that make the game look bad?

I guess I would say I would like for them to use kickstarter, but only because I would love the extras and a chance to design things that badly.

Which makes the precious moment and contributions even more precious if and when the sequel comes out. I certainly wouldn't mind it if the backer items and monsters got some legs for the sequel.

Yes!

... but then I might be a little biased...

My opinion is that kickSTARTER is to start something new, meaning once it is done it is supposed to walk on it's own after that, i see it as a chance to prove the conpect worth it and to have success to attract investors into the future games of the franchise and of course raise money from it's own selling after the release, also is very strange to keep depending in crowfunding indefinitely. There is something to remember here, Bloodstained is a complete innovation and has no reused assets and have no previous expertise on the new 3D style, which means it's pretty hard to convince investors to raise private funds for it, so the kickstarter was a great way to do it.

For the next games, let's say Bloodstained 2 or other IP, this time we will have all the expertise from the Bloodstained devs experience, ready assets to be reused and modified, it will be much easier to create new games using the same style, which means it requires less fund, what i mean is that there is no need to open another KS, obviously we are hoping for the success of the project so there will be no need for that anymore, that only makes sense if Bloodstained fails in selling enough.

I honestly think this is too early to consider this. Bloodstained 1 will be out and funded all right, but it is ultimately its success what is going to decide if Kickstarter is going to be necessary again.
