Hello everyone it’s nice to be a part of the Bloodstained community. I’m pretty late to the game’s development so to speak as a slacker backer but I’ve been doing a lot of research, listening to a lot of interviews and discussing things with different users on discord.
ALL THAT BEING SAID.
I’m using development update 10 as a base reference cause to this day it’s the best overall look we’ve gotten into most parts of the game’s fundamental mechanics. If you’ll notice when Miriam changes rooms, it’s just a quick cutoff. Like you’re pressing start or A/B during a cutscene you’ve already watched. I cross referenced SotN, Samus Returns and of course development update 10 and notice that SotN did the same exact thing in the final game, but I mean....come on that’s just around 20 years ago.
In Samus Returns, Mercury Steam did a pretty good job of making just subtle enough of a smooth dimming transition into the next room where it felt like, even though it went dark as well, you weren’t just getting cut off. More like you were walking, figurately speaking, under a dark shadow into the next area. However, the two games are NOT the same even though they are the same genre. Different engine and a major graphical difference.
It would be a bit weird, but just as a dumb little idea...just something to throw out there.
Like whatever direction Miriam is going to the next room, maybe like the bloodstained logo and some kind of screen sized effect on either side of it goes the opposite direction to load the next room? Hard to explain but oh well.
Anyone else kind of feel where I’m getting at? It’s really kind of dumb to bring up I know, but I personally believe that’s one of those little minute details that would set the game apart from the rest.
