Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon REVEALED!

While we (Fangamer) don't really have any specific information available, my understanding is that, due to a variety of complicated logistical circumstances involving the various console manufacturers, mass-generating console codes is taking longer than originally expected. This has all happened in an extremely short time-frame, and we've been working as hard as possible to update the backers, distribute permanent Steam codes, distribute temporary Steam codes to console backers, and to respond to emails sent to our orders@fangamer.com customer support email address. I totally understand that this is a frustrating situation, and I really appreciate your patience while everyone involved with the Bloodstained project works to get this sorted out.

Thanks for the update! I'll drop this here
Just wanted to say about my earlier comment that now I've seen Gebel's victory animation and it became my favourite one

I guess the main thing that kind of irks me in regards to the whole situation is that people are pointing all freaking blame towards Inti Creates......How many times does it have to be stated via community managers, etc., that this isn't purely on Inti's head as they have zero control over the codes being generated for consoles from everything that's been explained. They, unlike most other companies/devs, are at least TRYING to resolve things instead of ignoring the fanbase.

I think, personally, it's a good show of faith from the company to be making any attempts to appease the fanbase, even if you can't please them all, but for the love of .......stop slamming the damned company and actually look into and research what is actually going on rather than playing the freaking blame game.

Codes for console are delayed, we all (backers, at least) paid and are waiting. Most got Steam versions and those with computers can use the temp codes.....ffs, this whole situation is reminding me of how people reacted over Mighty No9 crap and we all know how well that whole thing turned out. No one has patience, anymore, something us gamers were once extremely renowned for having in abundance given our hobby and it's seriously making me think of backing out of any and all projects such as this one all purely due to so much going on.

Things happen that are often out of people's control, especially devs. I mean, come on.......I pay for a package and it gets delayed instead of arriving the day scheduled due to whatever reasons, doesn't mean I should take to the internet or being an asshat to devs as if it is their personal agenda to piss me off by delaying what I paid for.

TLDR; Beep(family forum, after all) happens so have patience or risk coming off as any number of stereotypes. Tbh, this is no different than when a game gets a worldwide release that happens to be a day or few apart depending on region.

His is my least fav personally Alfred's that is

Nezuto The problem is that it really is a problem of Inti's creation. As I said before, this is a massive failure of communication and trying to rush things out the door before they're ready. Every step of this release has been a blunder, and it didn't need to be. They should have told Fangamer what platforms would be available before announcing the release. They should have mentioned that there would be no DRM-free version before announcing the release. They definitely should have gotten confirmation that the keys would be ready before the release(and if you think that they did so and that every single console manufacturer simultaneously forgot how to generate codes in a timely fashion, I don't know what to tell you).


All they needed to do was be patient enough to have everything ready ahead of time and to ensure people weren't expecting things that wouldn't happen.  The DRM issue was always going to sit poorly with a subset of the backers, and rightly so, but waiting to tell people that they were staunchly pro-DRM until so close to the deadline to change platforms was inexcusable, particularly since the main project is going to have a DRM-free version.  Everything else was avoidable altogether.  Trying to blame the key issue on console manufacturers is simply deflection, as it was Inti's job to make sure they had keys available on the date they announced for release.

I didn't mean you were deflecting. There is absolutely 0% chance that every single console manufacturer forgot how to prepare codes for a game release on time at once. Inti Creates are at fault for not making sure the keys would be ready before release, not the console manufactures. That mostly means that Inti Creates should not have announced a release date until they were certain about the keys. Not taking 100% ownership of that is the deflection I'm talking about. What they should have said was "sorry, we thought the keys would be ready by that date and we were wrong."

Has the release been a botch? Yeah, wont lie, but at least the game is *good*. The only negatives I've seen are that some people think the game should have had more influences from modern platformers such as changing jump trajectory etc. and they clearly missed the point of the games COTM was trying to emulate (since a lot of long time 'Classicvania' fans actually seem to be agreeing it isn't hard enough XD).

Its it a bummer I have to wait on the 3DS copy I asked for? Absolutely its a bummer, and I've got a buddy waiting on his PS4 code (I backed at a high enough level that I've got 2 codes coming) but thanks to Inti arranging the temporary Steam keys at least I *did* get to play it at launch for free and I know its worth the wait.
