This now has more money than Yooka-Laylee (albeit less backers), which is pretty cool since the latter has people from Donkey friggin' Kong Country - arguably a "bigger deal" than Castlevania for most people.
I honestly didn't expect this, mainly because we were told for quite some time that the later IGAvanias weren't that successful or popular, so I started to believe it. I blame Dave Cox, among others, for this. Though I guess the games didn't exactly set the sales charts on fire, but it was most likely because of shitty marketing. Bloodstained has already had more marketing than any CV in recent memory, even if most of it was word-of-mouth and viral things.
Kickstarter is fab.
