"Forsaken Castle" just met its Kickstarter goals

I want the crowdfunding bubble to burst already. I've got to get in on this while there's time. I could theoretically not work for a few years, leeching kickstarter money as long as I put anime girls in a game.

lolis you say? im already looking forward to it.

Good God.

As long as it has cute pixel girls I am interested.

Dropped.

Who gives a flying fuck? We're not fapping to the artist. We're fapping to the art. Real XXIII can be a 600 pound land whale for all I care. I'm still going to fap to his girls.

Oh boy, I can't wait for late-development cycle drama to happen and then we find out it was nothing more than a big soulless panderfest that only sold to good goys in the end.

Into the trash it goes

SO GLAD WE HAVE STRONG FEMALE LEADS TO LOOK UP TO 10/10 -t. IGN

That girl has tiny little arms.

It just hit me. Lily's "paladin" clothing looks an awful lot like Richter Belmont's, eh? Incidentally, Meryl's name evokes Maria, as in, Maria Renard (if you don't know, an unlockable joke character in a pink dress who's basically Rondo's easy mode and reappears in Symphony as an adult). I have a hunch Meryl's play-style will be based on her.

To be fair, we can't be TOO hard on the artwork yet since it's being revised. The updated Lily sprite admittedly looks better.

Amazing thread OP.

are you feeling that your gender is under represented?

A male playable character, a knight named Vincent, was one of the two stretch goals that didn't get met along with a prelude scenario. It'll probably eventually be DLC or a spinoff if the game does well enough.

I saw the trailer a week ago, and the first thing I thought was "are those rock tiles ripped from Metroid Zero Mission?"

Besides that, the game looks kind of dull but nothing really offensive. At least they're making their Castlevania clone with cute anime girls, without trying to make a fangame or "spiritual sequel" to whore some attention from journalists.

I'd give it a try of there's a DRM-free Loonix build, after I beat Order of Eclessia.

Yes, those rocks are ripped directly from Metroid.

>DRM-free Loonix build
Yes, there will be.

is it still drawing if its done in pixels?

Well, that's nice.

I just saw the game was on Kickstarter, that's kind of shit, but at least there's some gameplay to show, so people giving money to the game aren't being deceived or something. They're paying for what they're going to get.

HOW MANY OF THESE PIECES OF SHIT DO WE NEED?!

It's always the FUCKING same. Making a 2D platformer? Oh, Metroidvania! Making a 3D platformer? Oh, Banjo clone!

HAVE THESE PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF ANY OTHER TYPE OF GAME?

looks like a terrible, lazy, weeb bait castlevania knockoff
i expect Holla Forums will buy it in droves

If it's NOT I am absolutely disinterested.

It's not a Metroidvania because it isn't a Castlevania game.

It is a Metroid-like or a Procedural Adventure.

This isn't inherently a bad thing, though. Order of Ecclesia was well received; really it's irrelevant unless the dev is blatantly a problem person.

Uh no.

You're masturbating to his sexual fantasy.

Oh look, another stylish 2D platformer/metroid/castlevania that won't come out for years.
Who has time to keep track of this shit? Until it's launched and fully playable it doesn't exist.
People point to the obvious scams and creator drama as the main problem with kickstarter and early access, but the real one is circumventing sensible prerelease hype practices to try and make one's game a "thing" that gets lots of coverage when it isn't even fucking done.

i don't wanna go into no foreskin castle

Numales lack creativity, including Holla Forums. The creative sensibility part of their brain is only capable of absorbing information during their childhood.

Of course Richter can't be best Belmont. Julius exists.

SOLD

fuck

You have to ride on another game's legacy if you want those free shekels.

gtfo, you fucking weebs

I mean that's fine but I actually enjoy being able to whack stuff while also running around and jumping on boxes. It's a bit overdone, but regular platformers aren't as good as ones with some kind of extra element to them. Super Meat Boy was visually well designed I guess but it was just a jumping game.
well banjo was really the only one to get the platforming style in 3D correct, platforming with any 3D game is really hard to make feel good.

If more users on Holla Forums went on Holla Forums they would see how degenerate video games truly are, and how they are becoming creatively stunted due to the sensory overload electronics cause.

Have you tried Hollow Knight?
I was feeling the same way but I'm playing this game and it's amazing. I dare say it surpasses SotN and the handheld Castlevanias.

Those characters look like fanime. This is most likely produced by some western weeaboo cunt trying to draw anime before studying how to properly draw manga/animer characters.

Will this "Metroidvania" shit ever stop? Using the term is high tell that the game is shit.

You say that like it's a rational argument.

It's just used to indicate if the game has key elements popularized by Metroid and Castlevania(the SotN kind) and it can be a very accurate description to a game with a single word.
The only problem is that bozos made terrible games in the "genre" so it got a bad rep, much like roguelike.

...

Tripfag you might jest, but the contrarian faggots in here might actually campaign against Bloodstained, in favor of the underdog.

I guess you only fap to hentai drawn by women, faggot.

He sounds like one of those nofap fags.

If it's not, it looks like it's gonna be trash.

…I actually really like Victor Belmont's design

Hue

He looks like main character from an Ass Creed game.

Yeah, except no, because he looks like he's from a modern remake of Vagrant Story.

Hey now, frederator actually makes good shit, and the animation/art style look pretty good.

I wanna fug that old man

I want summer fags gone

Looks like shit user, I'll just wait for Bloodstained. Koji Igarashi seems more likely to deliver a sound product, that will appease Castlevania audience. Also it looks too generic the enemies look like they were stolen from other games. Especially that fucking terraria slime. I wish these fucking indie faggots would stop ripping off the basic blue prints, of other successful games. Then adding a second element like anime girls. Then be like "hey I fucking worked hard! I achieved something". Rubs hands intensely "now give me money faggot". Mother fucker! I can get my anime fix elsewhere you shekel grubbing, hooked nose faggot.

Looks like a mage Hawke from Dragon Age 2.

Well have fun with that…

How and why is anyone even hyped for Bloodstained?

Kikestarter is really good for one thing.

Boardgames.

Great game with zero mouse and keyboard support on the PC. Obviously designed for Xbox One but they chose to launch for the PC instead in order to make a profit.

I already read that, I got patience user. Also here's my backlog of shit i need too start or finish.

ps4 - Yoru no kuni
wii u - Bayonetta 1 & 2
wii u - Fatal Frame Maiden Of Black Water
ps4 - Gravity Rush
ps4 - Natsuiro High School
wii u - xenoblade chronicles x
psvita - Uppers
Bloodborne_almost finish
psvita - The Firefly Diary
psvita - A Rose in the Twilight

& plenty of more shit that I'm 2 lazy 2 type ou

I wouldn't say Im hype jus interested.

Unless her clothes get knocked off as she takes damaged and gets raped when she loses, there's no reason for this game to exist, let alone to be interested in it.

I need to see it in motion to decide, i don't mind a non-porn kurovadis, i hope it has at least the same amount of complexity that it have, because that is the bare minimum for a open world platformer.
I do have a weak spot for games like metroid and the modern 2d castlevanias, so i don't my opinion have weight.
