Ideas for cheat codes (serious and funny ones)

 Unicorns and rainbows are trends nowaday :3

ENGRISH DO YOU SPEAK IT?!? makes the text full of funny mistranslations, wierd phrasing, woolseyisms, overacting, and outtake/blooper/general wackiness versions of the spoken lines

Grumpover - various grumps do the voice acting, can you imagine miriam with arins princess zelda voice? >P

I dunno if this is the right thread or it these would be considered cheat codes but I loved the Magician, Fighter, Shooter and Thief Modes in Circle of the Moon. These significantly changed your base stats and stat growth through the game and this gave you a really unique play experience each time. For those unaware, in Circle of the Moon, after you beat the game for the first time:

Magician - Type in FIREBALL as your name. Attack, Defense and HP all start lower and grow more slowly but you start with all the DSS Cards and with higher Intelligence & MP that grow much faster than normal

Fighter - Type in GRADIUS as your name. Attack, Defense and HP all start higher and grow more quickly but you can't use any magic and you start with lower Intelligence & MP that grows much slower than normal

Shooter - Type in CROSSBOW as your name. Attack, Defense and HP all start lower and grow more slowly but you start with more heats, your heart rate grows more quickly than normal, sub-weapons use fewer hearts and do more damage.

Thief - Type in DAGGER as your name. All stats start lower and grow more slowly than normal but you luck starts MUCH higher and grows much more quickly than normal

Now all of these modes aren't directly comparable to what we an expect in Bloodstained (see Shooter mode) but I would love it if these same general ideas could be applied - alternate stat spreads and combat styles that really influence your playthrough of the game. In Circle of the Moon you had to do these modes in order, hopefully if something like this is in Bloodstained, you can do them in any order you please.

I like this one but I'd like to propose a slight change:

Poor censorship mode: Words which are normal in normal mode but would look worse in censored mode are changed. EG "You are such a annoyance!" changed to "You are such a *********!" It's still annoyance censored underneath it, but it changes the POTENTIAL context.

maybe TOPSYTURVY AND MIRRORMIRROR for a horizontal flip? >P

Pillow Mode
Effect: Your weapon is a pillow and all your attacks do 1 damage
How to acquire: Jump on Bed in Miriam's room X times

Goofball Mode
Effect: Play the game as Goofball.
How to acquire: Type GOOFBALL as the name

Reaper Mode
Effect: Play as Reaper
How to acquire: Type DEATH as the Name

I could have sworn I said this but don't see it.

But I want cheat codes that allow the player to have a 'dev-mode' of sorts for the camera.. 2.5d games should generally play like a 2d game, but it would be neat to be able to have full control of the camera as a cheat code so you could better check out the environments. Though I suppose they may not do this if the environments have only 5 walls instead of 6 (in a Cube room of course). I can't imagine it would be hard to simply mirror the far wall for the missing wall if this is the case though.

edit: I said 'square' instead of 'cube'. doh.

It'd be just like in Megaman Zero, where there's a specific "cyber elf" you can use to turn almost every normal enemy in a stage into a Hardhat (Met) from the classic series.

Is this thread a request?

You could tweet IGA about it if you want. Like "Request: Cheat code to unlock all items after first real playthrough would be nice".

If this thread is brainstorming for us to think about cheat codes in general, then I would suggest a code that makes you use infinite shards and infinite health, so you can fool around.



And about: "If you can put it in, that would be nice and this thread be the only hint." - Cheatcodes spread, people will visit boring "cheat" sites that usually only have achievement-info and no cheats and actually find cheat for once
