Topic: CHRONICLES OF THE WOLF

Great to hear. I'm really glad I was able to express to the creative team how impactful these games were, especially Lecarde 2. LC3 definitely sounded like it had an interesting premise, and I am glad to hear you putting everything into CotW. Kind of surprised that this could be the swansong, but you've made your mark as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, excited for this one. Few extra notes I want to add to what I said before:

- The way you made sort of "sequel" songs to some of the Castlevania classics for different times of day, but made them original songs, was so seamless and fun. They are really catchy and atmospherically powerful, like Rise of the Morning Sun and Dimming of the Holy Light...etc. That was something so fun about Lecarde 2, where there were mini dungeons and main areas, and none of them felt like copy-paste in visuals or music. It made the game feel alive. New sights and sounds were always around the corner, and that they could even be interactive, like going into background areas by pushing up or breaking things off the background was great.

- In terms of testing and polish, I feel like CotW has great bones to build on. Lecarde 1 is definitely more rough around the edges/NES hard than Lecarde 2 in things like enemy placement and transitions, and I think more casual gamers would have an easier time getting into Lecarde 2 than 1, but I still love both and they each have different strengths to enjoy. In an alternate reality, a Lecarde Chronicles Collection for Switch would be like the best of all 2D Castlevania worlds. (Still waiting for Konami or someone to build off Castlevania 64 in the 3D space.)

- Aura Blast gameplay was so cool. Especially when it played into the puzzles. And the way the intriguing Von Viltheim family was carried into the second game from the first was genius.

- I think when I first heard about CotW, I was concerned it was just about being chased by a werewolf in the vein of a Resident Evil 3's Nemesis.

- Keep doing your thing! Sounds like you're in the home stretch and really bringing your vision to life! There were times in Lecarde 2 where I sarcastically said, "Stop it! This is too good!" Like when you arrive in the second town and the villagers and world give you so much new information that's so intriguing--the

cemetery bells, the freezing path, the chapel underground, the swamp gas, the girl who appears at dawn, etc.

I had no trouble getting my Rock Candy off-brand XBox 360 controller, when plugged into the USB drive, work for these games. I didn't need any extra software. Lecarde 1 I had to be extra careful on downloading since it wasn't on Mig's site anymore and it was reported as carrying malware on some other sites. Lecarde 1 also does not have rebindable controls on the controller, so I had to live with the controls however the controller picked them up. Pause button would only work on the keyboard. Everything else worked, though, and I've gotten used to it. For Lecarde 2, I remapped things like this, and it worked great: X-attack, A-jump, Y-Aura Blast (magic), and B-Special. I eventually chose L and R for the Menu and Map because I couldn't remember them on Start and Select. lol. All the same, wish you luck. I waited until this year to play these games. As I said above, though, Lecarde 2 is significantly more polished than Lecarde 1. Lecarde 1 has some of that NES hard quality to it at points. Not saying Lecarde 2 is a pushover, but it's more fair and balanced.

I have an XBOX One controller for my PC. Not sure if it will do the trick though I should give it a try. As for LC1 I downloaded it a while ago (like when it was originally released) so that's all good. LC2 is still going through some improvements so I can snag that when it's finalized. I'll also want to check out CotW once it becomes available on the market

What is the general gap of time expected from when this game launches on Steam to when it could launch on Switch? I'm excited to jump back into a Migavania, and I'm more of a console person than PC person. All the same, continued luck. Know that your work is anticipated and appreciated!

It's hard to say exactly what the gaps will be, but they shouldn't be nearly as long as was the case with Wallachia. Right now here is what we are looking at for platforms and estimated costs.

Steam
Nintendo Switch w/physicals
PS4/5 w/physicals
Xbox (digital only but Gamepass is being considered)

Chronicles of the Wolf will likely be sold for around $19.99 digitally with a planned Migami Monsterverse bundle that will include Wallachia: Reign of Dracula and Chronicles of the Wolf for $24.99 digitally.

The game is very large and most people will get a lot of gameplay out of it.

For the soundtrack it has been determined that it would be impossible to fit it all on vinyl without it costing a fortune and being at minimum 4 discs, so for COTW compact disc will be the only physical for the OST. We will be much faster with getting it onto Spotify this time though!

We are hoping to still make the last quarter of 23 but it's possible we could run a little behind. We both have been struck with some very difficult real life stuff which is making our home stretch of development very arduous.

But just know that the game has been testing very well! It will be worth the time! 🙂

Thanks!
