I came super close to putting it on in the background while I work on music n stuff yesterday.

I decided to put on that Physical 100 show instead. Haha

Guess I'm just not a belieber of this new take on Richter yet.

I'm on episode 5.
Seems to be doing a lot of world building and backstory

I like that it shows Richter's mom and the fact that he's either french or American.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll watch it, but I am curious. I'll probably just look at clips and read spoilers.

It had it's moments - but I'm not a fan of most of the characters. They don't seem to have much chemistry together. 
As the person above said, it got the Netflix treatment - Heavily. Could have done without a lot of the back stories that basically felt nothing like Castlevania.
I kept hoping to get that SOTN feeling but it never came.
Came out of it feeling like I left a lecture.

TotK. Completed 44 Shrines and defeated the Rito boss.

The ‘plein air’ approach to a temple is interesting, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than BotW’s divine beast, Vah Medoh. The boss was interesting but a bit damn easy, even compared to Windblight Ganon. Hopefully this game follows the trend of Rito = easiest/ weakest.

Thank you! I've been waiting for this 

I did try my XBOX ONE controller with this game, however the controls were all over the place. The button layout was limited and scattered, and the D-pad did not work at all. So hearing about revisiting this game with plans to re-work it as well as fix up some of the code is very inviting. Told ya I was patient at waiting 

If it wasn't the UI graphic stuff I could easily port controller code from reworked LC2 which I also had maintenance rights to it. But as investigation going further I feel too uneasy about the controller code structure. In worst cases the vanilla controller code might need to be ditched for the LC2 rework one or if there's even better choice. So it's a serious problem that we need every single drop of help from all over the world.

We did found a dodgy way to freely edit keyboard mapping though! It was Clickteam Fusion's built in mechanic so for keyboard users this version is more playable than original. Some keyboard hotkeys were also tweaked to fit modern user preferences more and avoid griefs.

- Add in-game GUI and functions to freely edit controller input in the game (like in reworked LC2)

Watched it.  I have a lot of thoughts and will rewatch it again so I can articulate said thoughts properly without going on knee jerk reactions.  Overall though, I’ll go with cautiously optimistic and it helps that it’s its own story instead of trying to be an adaption of Rondo (or some really odd adaptation of Bloodlines starring Ritcher instead of John and Eric, lmao).
