Update: 35 - IGA's Got A Brand New Background (New Shaders!)

I loved figuring out what effect different orbs would have on what sub-items (much like how it is done with the books in Harmony of Dissonance). Everything about the gameplay is spot on in LoI. Level design could have used some work, but is something I forgive due to everything else being amazing.

As you have said, the atmosphere and feel of LoI is amazing and something I want replicated in Bloodstained.

Look and feel of Lament of Innocence (but in 2.5D) + Music at SotN level = Amazing game. (As long as combat and story are up to par......)

Yes, this is true. Ah, House of Sacred Remains + the sound of picking up hearts in LoI is actually nostalgic for me.

(Also, Garden Forgotten by Time and Dark Palace of Waterfalls, Leon's Theme....dang, the list just keeps going....)

Im curious. What was your wordy response ? ( summarize it I guess)

Hey Dan, unfortunately the survey period is over and I can't go into the edit page to copy what I said, but...pretty sure I was talking about how I had noticed all the candles were in the background and asked how they were going to manage having floating unattached sconces/lanterns in the middle of 3D space, lol, if they do indeed change it to that. IGA did confirm breakable candles, so I was eh...somewhat concerned. I also brought up Astaroth's and my bit about the floating petal replacing the heart (if necessary to replace). And...told them they should let Mana art things. Probably made other demands.

I thought the same, the first background was so simple, but now man... we are talking serious igavania business. Where Mirror of fate failed, Bloodstained will arise. This new pics look like the 2.5 real deal.

An update about an update.  How quaint. :3

So if the subject of updates is to become more focused is the plan to still continue with once-a-month updates or make smaller, more frequent updates? Or if an update is subject specific "go ham" with content on that subject? I only ask because it seems the next update will now have less content than teased previously? Either way, thank you for updating us on the update and the updates in general as well. Hopefully I don't at all sound ungrateful, that is not my intent <3

Ok that makes sense to a degree. I guess my, unfounded concern (?), was that instead of an update consisting of (made up numbers ahead) 1200 total words and 9 pictures about 3 subjects with 400 words + 3 pictures devoted to each subject we'd just get an update with 400-800 words and 3-6 pictures on one subject. If the updates are just a content packed as before (1200 words + 9 pictures) but now more strictly themed, that seems fine to me. Though I guess you get into a situation where say an update one month is devoted to weapons but if you make updates mono-subject, then you don't get to talk about weapons again for months. That's maybe why you were asking about alternate ways to do small updates/teases as a way to fill in data on already touched upon subjects that may not be covered in major updates for a while. Or if not at least you have a potential avenue to avoid that issue.

Hey guys, the Kickstarter has a new "Community" tab with some interesting data. For example, the city with the most backers was Tokyo, though the most backers by country was the US by a large margin.
