Has anyone gotten their reward "stuff" yet?  Should I be concerned that I haven't yet?

[zangetsu468]

Truthfully it's not actually an issue -- it's mostly an immersion gripe because it calls attention to the fact that you're playing a video game rather than adding to the game world in any appreciable way.

I do prefer your idea of them being a path set by God rather than the pseudocanon that they are souls collected by Death who are offering you help for your role in putting Dracula down.

Either or..

But bruh, it doesn't feel like CV if it's got no candles.

I don't think so. The game is still comparably early in development, I'd be surprised if rewards were sent out this soon.

I would advise everyone to check their account status to be safe they get what they've secured. I got an email 3 weeks ago asking to confirm what pack I'd ordered/ wanted when I'd already paid since the final day of backing.

I logged in, confirmed and it's all sweet now.

[Gunlord]

Yeah, they have sent backer confirmations and stuff, I was saying it'll be a while before we get anything physical. Zangetsu's right, all backers should check their email, you shoulda got something from the campaign asking you for your address and shipment information.

I've not had an email, but I think I had one months ago confirming things.  Part of me would love to be able to up my pledge from $100 to 300, to get the signed collector's box.  I'm expecting the pledge rewards to arrive with the finished game tbh, at some point next year at the very earliest.

Physical rewards won't be sent out until the end of this year at the earliest, IIRC. So don't sweat not getting any physical rewards yet.

Hey, as long as those prequel games make it before release I'm good, some bloodstained mini-games can really help kill the time.

What? Prequel games?  Anyways, the extra content being released after release does make sense if they want to stay on sequel for the release period they are aiming for.   As a whole, all the modes and content they plan is beyond multiple Igavania games launched with.   So it does make things reasonable to release the core game first, then the extras later, even if the extras are sold later as DLC, that is reasonable because even with the kickstarter funds, that's just to make the game on multiple platforms,

 if fans want more Bloodstained games from them, they have to profit beyond what the core game sells, whether it included the extras or not, its average sales would still be pretty much similiar.   Extra effort does deserve extra profit, and it could help fund Bloodstained into a series.  yes those extras included would of increased its purchase incentives, though this kinda development is not cheap and they really are only financially secure to at least make the game, but it is reasonable for the core game to be released ASAP with the extras saved for later.

I dunno about a prequel minigame, that stuff sounds like a cheap iphone game gimmick.  I think that stuff takes away from developer time and resources that could be used for the core game and extras.   

a prequel minigame would just be an afterthought unless it received some type of Ground Zeroes level of depth to it.
it depends how it's designed or presented, but a prequel minigame would typically do little for the core game in the long run.   plus that minigame is exclusive to portable?   Doesn't sound like a resourceful way to hype the core game.
trailers of the core game would promote it much more effeciently and with better presentation.

If the minigame is like a prequel demo of sorts, maybe it might be interesting, but it's hard to say, plus Miriam probably wouldn't have an interesting arsenal there, they would have to really make it meaningful, though I dunno if the devs are stretching themselves too thin for a minigame that will be an afterthought after the core game comes out.

they still have all those extras and modes to do.

The Minigame is on all platforms, and Pixel based. so it's like playing the DSvanias all over again.
