[Vipershark]

(off-screen) GAMEPLAY VIDEO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT EXISTS NOW

TIME TO START GETTING HYPE


They definitely tried to nail down the look of the concept art pretty hard. I'd love to see some actual ingame footage, even if it is just a pre-alpha.

In other news, Bloodstained is inching ever closer to becoming the highest-funded Kickstarter game of all time.


WOW I HADNT EVEN CHECKED MY EMAIL YET
okay new backer update came out
The Pyrite Coin Backer achievement was reached, and New Game+ is now official!

Remember Sword vs. Whip? Well a winner was finally announced... Sword! With Clan Katana (woooooo!) in the lead!

The final 48 hour push has begun, and two stretch goals were hit in a matter of hours.

The third playable character is now official (most likely Gebel, who will probably be an Alucard clone) and the Prequel Mini-Game for Consoles is official as well. All backers will get the minigame for free.

The campaign has now passed 4.5 million, and in the process has become the HIGHEST-FUNDED KICKSTARTER GAME OF ALL TIME.
With things continuing at this rate, the 5 million stretch goal is pretty much a lock.

We'll have raised enough money to match (if not beat) what the producer was willing to provide IGA had he met his original goal of 800k, meaning we could have essentially funded the base game alone!

lol at this kind of game not having a market though

[Vipershark]

You know what? Screw it.
I just got paid by one of my clients so I upgraded my pledge to the $250 collector's box tier.
I wish I could get the $300 tier (for the signed copy) instead but I can't magically scrape together that last $50 in less than 24 hours.

Maybe if they allow post-campaign upgrades like a few other campaigns, I'll put in that last $50 when I get paid or something in the future.

Make us one moar diagram when it ends Viper C=. I wanna see just how much ass it kicked at that point, heheh.

This is probably why it's the highest-funded Kickstarter of all time.
Anything remotely cool in this Kickstarter that isn't digital is above the $60 tier, and the coolest things are all absurd amounts of money. And I guess people who like Castlevania also have lots of money.



I mean I spent $100 and that's the highest I've spent on a Kickstarter yet; most Kickstarters with similar goals are in like the $50 tier lol

[Vipershark]

So the $5 million stretch goal has been reached! And now, with 6 hours left, the campaign is complete.

...Oh wait, no it isn't.
NEW STRETCH GOAL

The final stretch goal, at $5.5 million: BOSS REVENGE MODE
This time, you play AS the bosses.

In addition, the community has gotten 59 of the community achievements, and now there's one final reward for 60: A new "pure" costume for Miriam in which she looks like she would have had she not gotten the crystal curse.

Why is her hair blonde? Supposedly the crystal curse changes the host's hair color.

Here's the final graph.


Looks like Yooka-Laylee got a small bump since it's nearing its end as well.

[Koh]

The funny thing is Yooka Laylee's been running a lot longer, and has been fairly constant, lol.

Welp, I'm glad. Symphony of the Night was a fantastic game, although it was incredibly easy. Let's see how Bloodstained holds up that legacy C=.
