They might be doing a Shovel Knight thing, where the base game is released and the stretch goals like extra modes come later. It's not unreasonable, given SK's success

That is OK. But I want when I purchase the game and put the cartridge inside the console I want to be able to finish the game and experience it with all its items secrets and stuff.

Things like boss rush mode, versus mode etc. Can come after that.

Oh yeah, pretty sure that's what they're doing. The main game will be in, and then stuff like the roguelike dungeon, prequel, boss revenge mode, etc. will be afterwards.

Unless there are post launch bugs. I really hope, if there are bugs, those would be minimal and not game breaking ones.

Fashion update = 2019 release...

Seriously, does anyone care this much about a relatively minor detail?

I don't but if they do it I guess the game is in polishing state and not development.

However I have this horrible feeling that this promising game will fail.

People were complainig about Mighty No.9 how long it was taking to developed, so they released an unfinished product, full of bugs and stages empty. Is that what really people want for this game to? I don't care if it's going to be 2018, 2019 or 2020 as long as it is on the right track.

Same. The game needs to be as polished as possible before launch.

Well, the game is still planned for the first half of 2018 and by all accounts it's going quite well. I suppose it's possible something might happen, and if there is a delay I'll tell all you guys, but at the moment there seem to be no problems and it's still on schedule. As for the customization, well, you'd be surprised...lotta folks at the Bloodstained forums are really, really excited about this, it's a feature many people always wanted in a Castlevania but never got, aside from small things like Alucard's cloak. And it's been planned for quite a while, and the fact that its implementation is thus far problem-free bodes well IMO.

I can't blame you, friend, I had a sinking feeling a few months back during the update drought. However, my faith in the game has been restored due to what the staff told me. First, IGA got rid of Inti, who messed up MN9, and his new staff seems much, much better. That alone tells me he's keeping a firmer hand on things than Inafune did. Second, ever since Angel-Corlux came on the team, we've had much better updates on a much more regular schedule, and from what he's told me the whole thing is going much more smoothly, both in terms of community engagement and in terms of development. The latest update said they're in "crunch mode," which means they're hitting their stride and they're probably nearing completion of a lot of stuff. Given that pace, I think a first half of 2018 is very doable. Now, I could be wrong, maybe something will come up, maybe a meteor will strike Artplay's office, whatever. But at the moment, I'd put more money on the project succeeding than it failing

it has Miriam, Bloodless, and the largest IGAvania castle ever, of course it will succeed!

though it would be messed up if they launch it without Boss Revenge mode.

Gunlord, can you ask over there at the bloodstained forums regarding the regions (R1, R2, R3, etc) that the discs will ship in? Is it based on the address of the buyer or will they ask which region the buyer wants, because of the DLC issues (unless they ship it out full and complete, which is unlikely)?

Good question, I'll make a topic on there. But you know, you can always join up too, I'm not the only CVD guy who hopped over to the Bloodstained forums

Oh, Purifyweirdsoul showed me the answer on the FAQ:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/faqs

"Will my Physical/Digital Console version be able to play in my region?

Yep! For any of the discs or download codes that require a region, you'll receive a survey sometime after the Kickstarter has ended that you can use to select your console's region."

[Shiroi Koumori]

OK got it! Thanks!

Hehe, I won't have time to go through another forum with my schedule and my other fandom is eating all of my time.
Besides, you are a liason officer.
