Now that the first boss was revealed, and knowing that the Lesser Key of Solomon is the base lore... which demons would you like to see as bosses?

I would like to see Naberious as a boss. He's either depicted with three doggy heads or a crow. I could imagine a boss battle that incorporates both, each form with their own attacks and patterns. Maybe something like Gaibon and Slogra from SotN.

So I guess Deep Silver Owns the franchise now.

Apparently their parent company Koch media recently trademarked Bloodstained.

Seems like part of the publishing deal is ownership.

Poor IGA, he can never own his own characters and ideas.

Im surprised he didnt look for a deal where he could. Even Inafune made sure he could keep MN9, and he's using the same publisher
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

I'm pretty sure Inafune didn't get $4.5 million from them, though.

I'd like to see Paimon in the game, since that was the named bestowed upon me by Lord Igavania.  :P

Sad news indeed, all we can do now is hope that they don't turn into IGA's second Konami in the long run.

Will the (hypothetical) Wii U version be a reward for backing, either digital or physical? I recall that Mighty No. 9 had the digital version, but physical version you had to buy separately from your backing support. I'm confused.

Hmm...that is a little disheartening, flame. While it's good that IGA has backers aside from kickstarter, it also sort of defeats the purpose of an indie if it's just going to be owned by another big conglomerate, especially since it remains to be seen whether or not Koch media is any less incompetent and/or malign than Konami. :/

I'm wondering how fast Bloodstains will come out in the future, once the base assets are established with the first game.

Any of you guys planning on asking IGA something on the AMA they mentioned on the KS page?

I was thinking of asking him when exactly the 32X CV game he worked on was cancelled (like the exact month) and what he was up to between SotN was released and him becomng producer. Feel free to steal these questions though, since I'm not sure if I'm staying up late for this.

I imagine someone will ask him about the fabled 1999 game, and if he was working on it right before Cox-kun took over the series.

Of course they might avoid everything Castlevania related, since he only vaguely refers to it as 'my previous works' anymore.

This was probably overlooked because of all the excitement surrounding Bloodstained, but I think the last half hour of this video is required listening for every Castlevania fan:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TzfM6QUs6A

IGA basically spills the beans what happend leading up to him getting removed as producer of the series and what happend after. Apperently when he got back on the series part of the deal was that he had make a CV game every year.  Also, he says he was the producer for CotM in America(?). Ko-G was IGA after all?
