Status updates

I would like to hear more soon as well.

They really can't be more specific in the updates without revealing a ton of spoilers.

They gave us a playable demo, so we know they're hard at work. As far as I'm concerned, that's more than enough.

This! How come IGN gets exclusive snapshots (and an IGA interview) and us the backers get none?

I agree with all these comments. Just have someone follow the team around for a day each month and stream it raw. This would be more interesting and less time consuming. I'm sure the publishers would strongly disagree, but c'mon, this was one of the most impressive kickstarter campaigns in history.

I love the unpredictable update schedule!! Keep me excited every morning especially early days of each month!! XD

And the upside of something like this is that it would only be mildly disruptive. Little stuff like Iga with the umbrella is more informative and entertaining to me than very early footage or demos.

One piece as to why the team may not do something like this is that some of them at ArtPlay are quite camera shy...

As far as frequency of updates, there is such a thing too imo as TOO MANY updates lol. The Dark Souls board game for example has had 89 updates since April. April of this year. I'm borderline sick of even hearing about it, hahaha...

...but mostly just mad when I see a Kickstarter e-mail and it's not Bloodstained.

Currently we’re committed to posting updates about once a month. We’ve discussed internally about a scheduled day for monthly updates, but we decided it wouldn’t work very well for a number of reasons, such as:

• Game development doesn’t necessarily correlate with a ~30-day information cycle. We do our best to provide a decent amount of content for each update, but that content’s existence won’t always abide by a specific day of each month.

• Due to numerous factors, updates can get delayed even within our own internal time-frames. There’s a lot of things going on between many different people & companies that may need multiple tweaks/revisions before they’re ready to be shown to the public. We’d likely be setting the backers up for disappointment on a regular basis if the updates kept coming out later than we told them they would be.

• We do not want to post updates without a minimum amount of substantial content. We’ve observed this happening with other Kickstarter projects in the past, and it typically results in the backers becoming less engaged/interested in the project due to the amount of content that is irrelevant or too tangentially related to the project’s main focus (i.e. the game). If this were an Anime, we would avoid doing non-canon filler episodes.

(…okay maybe the occasional beach episode)
