Fashion update = 2019 release...
Seriously, does anyone care this much about a relatively minor detail?
Well, the game is still planned for the first half of 2018 and by all accounts it's going quite well. I suppose it's possible something might happen, and if there is a delay I'll tell all you guys, but at the moment there seem to be no problems and it's still on schedule. As for the customization, well, you'd be surprised...lotta folks at the Bloodstained forums are really, really excited about this, it's a feature many people always wanted in a Castlevania but never got, aside from small things like Alucard's cloak. And it's been planned for quite a while, and the fact that its implementation is thus far problem-free bodes well IMO.
I don't but if they do it I guess the game is in polishing state and not development.
However I have this horrible feeling that this promising game will fail.
I can't blame you, friend, I had a sinking feeling a few months back during the update drought. However, my faith in the game has been restored due to what the staff told me. First, IGA got rid of Inti, who messed up MN9, and his new staff seems much, much better. That alone tells me he's keeping a firmer hand on things than Inafune did. Second, ever since Angel-Corlux came on the team, we've had much better updates on a much more regular schedule, and from what he's told me the whole thing is going much more smoothly, both in terms of community engagement and in terms of development. The latest update said they're in "crunch mode," which means they're hitting their stride and they're probably nearing completion of a lot of stuff. Given that pace, I think a first half of 2018 is very doable. Now, I could be wrong, maybe something will come up, maybe a meteor will strike Artplay's office, whatever. But at the moment, I'd put more money on the project succeeding than it failing
