Blasphemous - From the creators of The Last Door series

Creative characters and enemy designs are a rarity in these kind of games. I've seen hundreds of 2D Castlevania/Souls clones for years now. It seems we hear about a new one every few weeks. But this is the first one I'm actually considering backing since Bloodstained back in 2015.
Even if the game is crap, more enemy art would make it worth it to me.

Hehe, we have an "insert quote" button in the full reply screen, just click the little button that says "quote" and it'll do it for you

I've been enjoying this campaign.... I love the styling and story, and definitely glad to see this one succeeding!

Yup, that sounds really in the game's favor. I feel that sometimes Kickstarter campaigns provide too many unnecessary or outright detrimental stretch goals (such as porting to every platform in existence, it's not like that's good by default).

Although notice that it's "enhancing" with real instruments. That doesn't mean it's going to be a fully orchestral OST. But that's still pretty cool....!

I also backed this project that includes the printed artbook . It looks really promising and this team already delivered a highly rated game before (which I should check out some time). I hope the best for their project!

The campaign ends in a little less than two hours with currently $327,442. Voice acting is secured, and more! I doubt we will be getting the $350,000 stretch goal but I don't really care about that either. I'm just happy for the devs, this was a triumph (ah, the Portal influences).

I wouldn't know. Maybe the devs will shed some light on this in the next days.

The quick answer: no, the PayPal amount isn't included in what you SEE in Kickstarter. But the people running the Kickstarter project "add on" the PayPal amount in order to determine the total funding (and for the 'goals').

Kickstarter and PayPal aren't linked. If people running the project are wise, they will not open a PayPal option until they've secured their Kickstarter goal -- the problem is that PayPal takes your money right away, but Kickstarter will only take your money at the end of the campaign, IF the campaign hit its goal. If you opened up PayPal before the KS goal was met, there's a chance you could end up w/ the KS failing (and getting nothing there), but still have money through PP -- that would be awkward.

But again, every KS campaign that I've seen that opens PP has combined both amounts to determine the official stretch goal total. BS did this as well.
