I'd like to get the crystal-less costume. Only 3 hours left for one more cheevo though. Not likely to get hit, though the 5.5 mil might.

It's already been hit I think, a couple of people did a last minute cosplay to get the last achievement for the Pure costume.

The Bloodstained Kickstarter final strech stream is up and running at http://www.twitch.tv/ffstv now.

They opened with showing a video of Iga putting the Kickstarter online.

I like how he fell to the exact thing thing that Inafune did, where they did the countdown and forgot about agreeing to the Terms and Conditions. At least it wasn't in front of a room full of fans.

Eeh, not crazy about the new reskin for 60 achievements, though it certainly won't distract from the game. It's a neat but very minute kind of additional piece of lore.

Not too crazy about the 5.5 mil goal either. Sounds cool, but also VERY ambitious for just another 500k, before kickstarter fees, taxes, goodies&artbook costs, etc.
In the best case, it's a under-realized additional gimmick mode. In the worst case, it diverts too many resources from the main game.
We'll probably get it either way before the end, though.

It's a special kind of experience to see Iga's hatted self drink red wine out of an enormous wine glass at 8 o'clock in the morning (in Japan). I'm holding out hope that with a couple more refills, he'll eventually smash the glass against the wall floor.

I'd recommend Environmental Station Alpha as well, although that game is more Metroid than 'vania. Also it's got a crazy endgame. I've never played Fez, but a lot of people were comparing it to that.

Oh boy, they're saying if another IGAventure gets locked in (the 10k $ tier), Iga's going to smash his wine glass, all Dracula style.

It's pared down from 4 to 2, and then IGA has the final say.

Kickstarter has a big button to launch, but you click it and it makes you read and agree to some conditions first. So sometimes people will do a bug countdown and then there's a jolt because you have to do some extra stuff. IGA did that on the video, Inafune did that in front of a room full of fans at PAX 2013. (I remember, I was there)

It's nothing big, I just thought it was funny.

Dunno who that cap guy is, but his record on remembering japanese people's names is 1/∞ if we count Iga, he's really bad at names and not hijacking the stream in general. edit2: And he just called this project Bloodborne. What the gently caress.

No static at all...
So, they've got a Scrooge McDuck Style Money Pit now. What kind of position does this put their publisher in? 5mil was the projected budget for game as originally proposed and the KS was basically just to generate hype and as a proof of concept. They've got eighteen months to squander it and eventually turn out something barely playable two years late now, right?

A good third or so of the raised amount will go out for all the art book and t-shirts and whatnot to send all over the world (more people backed the physical tiers than the 28$ digital release) plus kickstarter fees and taxes, and quite some of the remaining will be needed for the prequel game(s?) for PC & portable consoles which were one of the later stretch goals, i guess. The prequel games goals were only like 175k$ apart which is a very tight budget for that kinda project, esp. if it's supposed to be multi-platform.

If you do the $60 tier, yes, you'll get the Kickstarter-exclusive stuff.

Complexity isn't the issue, it's volume, and he won't be cut/pasting anything in Bloodstained for obvious reasons.

I wouldn't count on cross-buy, even though they have not said one way or another. It seems that first-party Sony titles are the ones mostly eligible for cross-buy bonuses. Not only that, but the Vita and Wii U versions will have to be chopped together with help from Armature.

I do not have concrete evidence, but I would recommend choosing to buy a copy for one system, or biting the bullet and just buying both. That said, if you donated a high enough amount, you will receive a physical copy of the game on one system and a digital copy as well. You could choose to receive the PS4 version physically and to get the Vita version through digital.

This normally isn't that odd for a kickstarter, but considering how much this particular one made on the first day it's loving amazing.

Yeah, I nabbed the physical $60 tier and I imagine I can just decide the platform later. Thanks!
