Awesome update! Pictures of the new character, his backstory, info about PAX and the survey, and some fan art. Definitely worth the wait!  One thing bothers me, though. "In all my games I’ve never had a Samurai character appear, much less a character from Japan, so I’m using the opportunity of working in this new universe to try something new." Mina Hakuba in Aria of Sorrow is from Japan, and that was an IGA game...I think. We've also had a few samurai, but only as Innocent Devils and enemies (Rasetz and Dead Warrior off the top of my head), so I don't think those count. Also, I love the name Zangetsu. Wiki says it means "morning moon" or "moon visible in the morning", but the usage in fiction listed on the page has to do with cutting or slaying the moon, which makes sense, as the full moon is a symbol many have come to associate with the night and the forces of darkness in Castlevania. |

Good point, he also forgot about Maxim Kischine from Harmony of Dissonance, that maybe isn't even a japanese descendant but still uses ninja arts. |

frankly I think it's surprising to get an update at all in less time than a half year. I think many people just don't understand how much work making a game is....It's a lot. Plenty of people understand, but it's more than possible. For example, look at how Grim Dawn has handled their updates. It's NUTS. I think gamers are just so used to hearing nothing at all for months and months and months that they've just kind of accepted that as the norm. It can be the norm, as companies that already have the money they need or anticipate major sales don't need to maintain that hype, but it doesn't need to be the norm. An update can be as simple as some concept art and "we're currently working on [insert a subject here]." Maybe mention challenges, or unique developments. It's not hard, and if you can work for a month and not have an answer to a question like "So, how's work going?", I don't think you're really trying. I never said it was impossible. or it shouldn't happen... I just said I wouldn't EXPECT it to happen. |

Hey folks, just so you're clear on our future plans for updates:
• We're planning to do a scheduled update once per month until the game is released, although the specific day the update will be posted on (e.g. 15th, 19th, etc.) will vary.
• If there's a special event (or something time-sensitive) we may also post additional unscheduled updates.
• Our goal is to summarize game development updates and community contributions (as well as the occasional special event) with each backer update. We'd like to avoid overloading everyone's inbox with smaller less substantial updates, as they could get tough to follow or catch up on if the information gets spread across too many messages.

The update was very lackluster IMO, the samurai was already known for a long while since it has been shown at the xbox stage.
Basicly all we got was just some info when the next Q&A would be.
(ps: dont be ofended cause im not exited with this update, i know some people are very overprotective to iga/ben and co)

We'd like to avoid overloading everyone's inbox with smaller less substantial updates, as they could get tough to follow or catch up on if the information gets spread across too many messages. That seems reasonable, particularly the point about rapid-fire shorter updates getting hard to follow. That said, I personally would recommend trying to keep the specific dates *fairly* consistent--like, plus or minus 7 days from the day of the previous update (if it was on the 15th, for instance, the next should come out no earlier than the 8th and no later than the 22nd). As we've seen already, even small deviations can make people anxious. Regularity as much as possible might be a good thing! Re: Darkbrotherhood, I think the main thing for this update was mentioning PAX. I bet there'll be a ton of good stuff shown there |

(ps: dont be ofended cause im not exited with this update, i know some people are very overprotective to iga/ben and co) Ben stated that they wouldn't have anything juicy to show us until about 6 months into development. A update is nice regardless of content in my opinion ^_^ |

darkbrotherhood - Oh no worries, I understand! The other big thing was the name and backstory of Zangetsu (which IGA just recently put together). gunlord500 - We'd definitely like to have a specific update date for each month, but we probably wouldn't be able to stick to it due to a myriad of factors outside of our control (e.g. IGA's PAX panel was JUST officially announced by Penny Arcade).

Fangamer Steve would you mind if I divided this into a new topic? Lack of updates sounds so negative. I can make your FYI update expectations the first post of a new thread.

Oh! If you'd like to I spoze. You could call it "Updates about updates" or something meta like that, heheh. Just make sure you don't lock this topic or anything.

Hm, perhaps it could also be an update hype/anticipation thread?
Folks can share their agony in waiting or relief in receiving one, haha.
