Excellent sprites, plottwist and OSM!
Anyways, I agree with Jorge. A thread in HG101 might be good, though I do wonder if we might have to become a Bloodstained Ritual forum...the game seems to be very popular and I imagine it'll constitute the bulk of this place's posts for a good while!
With that said, some initial thoughts:
I've very glad to see the game doing as well as it is--fully funded for 500k in *3 hours* is no mean feat! I think the CV community can pat itself on the back for this one. However, I also think the social media people deserve a good deal of credit as well. I gotta say, the #swordorwhip campaign was masterfully done. Simple enough to allow many people to engage with it, but with a bit of 'mystery' to its mechanics (what do those clans do?) to make it engaging. It was also filled with enough shoutouts to the fans--what a wonderful night--but I repeat myself!--to tickle us delightfully. Just on Twitter I've seen the #igavania hashtag light up like a magnesium flare! Those guys definitely knew what they were doing, and it's paid off.
Still, I'm not entirely sold on this project yet. It certainly looks very cool, but no gameplay footage makes Gunlord a suspicious kitty, prunyuu~>:O Also, Kickstarter and Inti Creates don't have the best of reputation...Stardrive was fully funded on Kickstarter, but ended up only half complete, really, and Inti Creates has run into a lot of trouble with Mighty No. 9. So I don't think we're entirely out of the woods yet.
Even so, despite all this, I suppose I feel obligated to throw some money at IGA. As a mod here at the CVD, I ought to join in with my community and show my support for its dreams, even if those dreams seem a long way from fruition. So I guess I'll try to see how much cashmoney is in my Paypal account, and give IGA a lil thing or two. <3
Now, for the most important part of my little spiel, and the one I hope all CV fans everywhere listen to:
Miriam is pretty cute. I give her 7.5 gunfaps out of 10 :3 That rating may rise as she grows on me...right now Shanoa is about 8 out of 10. But we'll have to see how it goes with Miriam. And I do hope they have extra costumes and stuff for her! A French Maid outfit would be just...just...delightful. :3
