Messages to IGA

Iga, it was an honor and a pleasure meeting you at E3!

Thank you for all your work on the Castlevania series, and I can't wait to see Bloodstained shine just as bright, if not brighter, in its own stained glass light

Had an idea on the familiars, perhaps the other 3 could be tucked away somewhere as the reward for a hard achievement, as one of the boss rush rewards, or as a chaos mode reward, stuff like that, so that they can be gotten after a lot of work but the knight as the winner is one you can get through story mode and use throughout the game therefore it would become higher lvl early on and more likely for everyone to see and use ^_^

Please take the proper amount of time for developing this game and don't feel the need for the game to come out in 2 years as planned.

2 years sounds a bit rushed for development of a game to me and I'd rather a delayed amazing game then a rushed abomination.

I always get scared when developers try to place a release date on a game they haven't even started proper development on yet. They either never reach deadline or it comes out rushed and turns out to be horrible.

Thank you for your time, effort, and creativity! We are grateful, IGA-san!

Long time Castlevania (CV3 FOREVER!) fan. While I do admit I was upset (at first) with the lack of platforming with the SOTN the games quickly became one of my favorites of all time! Thank you so much!

Mr. Igarashi, will we be seeing a return of some elements from the Castlevania series? Take for example the signature walk and dash animations that characters like Alucard and Shanoa have, or iconic monsters like the skeletons and armors. I would love to see some homages!

Igarashi-sama, first I would like to thank you for your years of work on the original Castlevania franchise. Your work influenced my tastes greatly as a teenager, made me realize how the real world has a diverse and unique mythology in itself - giving me an appreciation for that borderline between perception and reality and that precious balance that has to be present for the world to not lose it's wonder. Even my current indulgences of stained glass, myth, candle light, victorian-era architecture and style all stem from almost twenty years ago. I only regret that I likely won't ever meet you, someone who influenced me so greatly, for real conversation on these matters because of my physical disability.

I think my next question may be as of yet preemptive, however I'm curious; Do you see yourself working on more titles like Bloodstained in the future? Can we expect more Igavania-style games after this one?

Thanks IGA!!!

I'm so glad you gave us all the opportunity to back you on this project, it really shows how much we want this style of game with you at the helm, it's a credit to you and your team to reach the most funded video game in Kickstarter history (if only for a brief moment).

I'd wish you luck but honestly I don't think you need it, just keep doing what you do best and smash this out of the park like I know you will, I can't wait to play this game!

You're a legend mate. Now go make this game already!!!

Dear Mr. Iga,

For as long as I can remember I've been the biggest scaredy cat ever when it comes to horror-related media. I'm a little better nowadays but I still sometimes jump and scream if someone taps me on the shoulder unexpectedly. So it took a little courage and a huge love of 2D platformers and adventure games for me to back this project. I hope to have a lot of fun with Bloodstained and maybe it can help me get over my timidness. Good luck in your endeavors!
