Messages to IGA

Thank you IGA for introducing me to the genre. It was your game that introduced me to the Castlevania series as a whole. I was addicted after that. After Lords of Shadow I was a little bit saddened because my favorite game franchise was going down the tubes. I'd given up hope thinking id never get to experience the genre again. As soon as I heard you were making Bloodstained, I got all sorts of excited. My favorite genre of games had ben reborn. I look forward to playing the game. I'll wait however long it takes for you to make your masterpiece.

Hello Iga. How are you? I am doing fine. I'm a longtime fan of your work. I hope the weather is nice where you are. Your hat is pretty cool. Can I have a hug if it doesn't bother your personal space? Also, is it spelled "Berenstein Bears" or "Berenstain Bears"? This issue is important to me and I want to know what you think.

Dear IGA..Thank you so much! Thank you for existing and doing a project with participation of Michiru Yamane and Ayami Kojima. I have been waiting for so long for the three of you to do something together again. I have faith in you, always had. I loved the Castlevania games you made. What made these games special was the perfect combination of beautiful art, enjoyable music and interesting gameplay. I wish we still had Dracula because he really is such a fascinating character, but even without him - this is it - Bloodstained, the spiritual successor to Castlevania. The name is not important, but what lies underneath. And we can already see the beauty within..

Lord Iga, a couple pointers on your whip skills, use your arm to direct the whip but use a flick of your wrist to make it snap ^_^>------------#

also, you dont have to swing it so hard, youll increase your chances of pulling a young indiana jones, sweeping motions with a flick at the end ^_^/'

You have taken a large risk and broken with traditional conventions in your own society to pursue your dreams. While it may only seem as though you were only doing what seemed natural, this was still a very difficult decision to make. Not knowing where you could end up, or how this could impact yourself, or your loved ones... You still took the chance to believe in your dreams. It is important to never forget the emotions you felt when you realized the risk was worth it. Always be willing to do what seems impossible, and always be yourself. Never let your creativity fall victim to we the fans, or to investors. One can only get to create works of art when one becomes free of pressure, free of spirit, and free to express their own ideas.

I salute you, and wish you the best of fortunes in your new endeavors, wheresoever they may take you.
May you always find something to uplift your spirits in darker days, and may you continue to find yourself amazed at the wonders of the world!
Thank you for believing in us, in your fans. But most of all... thank you for believing in your dream!

ありがとう！あなたの夢に従ってください!
そこにあなたの最善を尽くします。がんばって！

あなたの夢を信じ続けます。皆さんありがとうございました!

Dear IGA,

We are living in a world which is plagued with games with no reason. Without a soul. Or with a soul if you're willing to sell your own with using tens or hundreds or thousands of dollars/euros/yen to meaningless dlc-content which is valid for a week or two. I don't understand which made game developers think that this is what a game means.

Thanks for not being blinded and/or deafened by this nonsense. Like my other kickstarter master Inafune-san, you are a guiding light of true gamers. You still believe what makes a good game. You WILL make new generations see what a true game is. And last but not least, you make older gamers remember how it felt to play an actual game with all the content, all the meaning and all the soul to its fullest.

Thank you IGA. You have my 110% trust.

All my support to you Lord Koji Igarachi!!!

Thank you for the memories.  

I thank you and your magnificent team for bringing your games. I hope you do your best in Bloodstained and prove the 2D genre is still relevant and not outdated.
