Bloodstained @ PAX Prime Summary

Thanks for the summary, crocodile!

Really loving the new art of Miriam from the customizing system

The customization system seems quite nice, i tought about that during the campaign since Miriam has a fully 3D model but for some reason did not pay much atention to it, it could have been a campaign goal for the very earliest goals. Anyway now i will be wondering what customizations will be available, there will be dozens of it or just some key ones? What about unlockable customizations gained after some in-game event (maybe secret), or also new customizations with updates.

Anyway, everyone love to customize their characters, so that's great news. And yes i still want more info, in-game screenshot please!

Ben might have been talking about the Castlevania animated series. Or did he mention that it was for games in particular?

Awesome summary! This also makes me get more hyped and excited.

I think this kind of panel really made its best work to convince that having a passionate fanbase still means a lot to game developers thanks to KS and the active backers. I liked that point there that their plan included to listen to the backer fans and respect them. That creates positive environment and more active army of the night. I couldn't help but still feel negative towards the fact that Mighty No. 9 had some negative scandal in the community about less than two years ago when they made some random and not that passionate person a representative between Inafune/Comcept and backers. That created too much of a mess and troublesome bitter feelings towards the project for many. I still think some people haven't got over it while the game is some months near to come out. I hope that IGA and others play their cards better and keep that positive respect towards our army.

Awwww.. Now I feel my thoughts got a bit sidetracked but couldn't resist to throw a comment.

If you get a chance to do it, see a panel at a big con like PAX. It's one thing to view a panel online, but waiting and mingling in line with other fans, sharing a sense of camaraderie in a room packed with 500+ or 1000+ other people, and viewing everything yourself is a whole different experience. Announcements and reveals become much more exciting and everyone around you is just as excited as you are. Just having all those people actually there gives you such a larger idea of how big the community is and the number of fans out there becomes more than just a statistic or usernames behind a monitor.

I have a feeling the Bloodstained devs and folks at Fangamer will want to capture as much goodwill from the campaign and PAX panel and have that going on all the time. But it's also up to the fans and backers to participate and make the type of community they want to see.

Also, does anyone have any idea of how many people attended the IGA/Bloodstained panel at PAX? I don't think I've seen any info on that anywhere.

This sounds like a dogememe lol. But for real.

Goob is right about panels/being somewhere live for announcements. It's like that at Evo for Capcom stuff.

I think they're already doing better than any of the other KS projects I've been involved with and are on a good track to keep it up. Honestly, not a whole lot at this point could happen to turn me off, save the game somehow not being an Igavania, which I don't think I have to worry about :x

I'm really looking forward to see other stuff like that Plague Mask 

I can safely assume that, although the image only shows Miriam's outfit in different colors, the game will let us change her entire outfit and we won't be limited to palette swaps for everything below her neck. And as someone who likes prim and proper outfits, I do hope there's an option to put her in formal wear. (Suits, etc.)

Wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U version of the game has special Nintendo outfits where you can dress Miriam up as Link, Zelda, Samus, and etc. I mean, who wouldn't want to hack their way through a castle of darkness while in Mario's overalls? Perhaps Nintendo costumes could work in a system akin to Super Mario Maker's costumes. Amiibos let you unlock the content painlessly, non-amiibo owners can unlock them via an in-game method.

Oh yeah, I love customization. It's always fun.

I think Bloodstained is going to be a great huge game where you won't get bored even if you replay it over and over
