Okay. Wake me up when something real happens, note weird clan votes and cryptic messages.

I am also a fan of weird and mysterious things. But I'm not a fan of anything that has to do with "clans" in games. If this turns out to be some kind of MMO, even if it's a 2D platformer, I'm not backing it. Sorry.

But yeah, I'm kinda done voting for weapons now. I too shall not wake up until something real happens. Hopefully Monday.

I believe that the clan thing, has to do with the voting and not the actual game behind this, since the voting is interactive, it's like some kind of mmo, where whip clans, fight over sword clans for dominion, over the voting.

Every time I read this: "The world falls down around us. It’s up to us few to build atop the rubble."
My head starts singing the tune of "As the world falls down" from Labyrinth.

Glad I'm not the only one having this problem!  Labyrinth rocks. 

I've also had only the invite scroll thing, nothing aside for a couple of clan changes, with me now in Clan Cat'o Nine Tails.

Edit: I now have another scroll thing, and the new line; "The last front in an ancient war stretches across the bodies of the innocent."

Before we start freaking out about MMOs and GMOs and Honey Nut Cheerios, remember to read the PAX flyer this viral campaign is all about:



It's clear that it's a single-player Sorrow-like metroidvania. I imagine this battle of the clans has to do with the backstory or the heroes involved.

Well the first picture from the flyer, it's looking like a Japanese shrine...

I'm sure I will get proven wrong soon enough, but the way that flyer is phrased ("prepare yourself, alchemist" actually could suggest some kind of multiplayer aspect. Only MMOs and so on use that kind of rhetoric in their promotional material. If not, it would be a very odd way to refer to the game's main character.

That would explain the multiplayer mechanic in this teaser. I hope a combination, ala Souls: have the main game be whatever it is, and overlap a multiplayer system where clans fight for treasure, presumably in multiplayer dungeons. That stipulation would make the most sense for a 2D game.

Well i like to thing that the alchemist aspect has something to do with combining materials for making equipment and other stuff, than being something associated with MMO.

no seriously, HoD is okay, but after all these years I'd be quite frustrated with a new Castlevania-inspired game by IGA being a multiplayer game of some sort

Yeah, that would definitely be best, IMO.

mann multiplayer is cool and all but, eh i dunno. I almost always get bored with that stuff. I played harmony of despair for like a week or 2, havent touched it since. im not into the social apps like clash of clans or anything. even the multiplayer that was in portrait of Ruin, i tried that only like 2 or 3 times. i just get bored with that stuff too easily

however if Nagumo decides to play then i would have no choice but to join o.o;
