OP
OP
I imagine not, it would be a big undertaking to redraw the character for both sides.
Always the same problem like with with the Eyepatch characters.
Yeah, it's just too much work to redraw the character to face both ways for very little benefit.
I loved the PS4 demo. Can't wait to get this on the Switch. How many hours long is the final game shooting for?
Is this really still coming in 2018? Just curious.

Yeah, sorry for the lack of updates - between GDC, the Game Developers Conorrhea I caught, post-GDC follow-up and working on finishing up the Backer Preview 2.0 Update, just been really busy.
Will try to get a full update out next week, but at least some more Trigger pre-pro art.
This is a mock-up we've been using to give people a sense of what the Collector's Edition will be like.
The artwork will definitely change, but that's all the elements that will go into putting it together.
Where can I order this?
New update - Kaanul monsters!

That's why you also get a digital code with the physical purchase.

Yeah, but I got the Steam Digital Version and Switch Physical (Hadn't bought a Switch at the time, but Steam Physical is silly and I figured I might get a Switch eventually.)New update - Kaanul monsters!

Also, sweet update! Thanks!
How has the writing process been going? I'm really anticipating how the script will play in the final product!
I'm sure this will annoy people but I've looked and googled and can't find an answer. Is there a more specific release window beyond "2018"?
Now that i mentioned SkullHeart, a user here made a great DEMAKE of the Demo:

If you checked the official funding campaign linked on the FIRST PAGE of this topic you would have seen that the Physical Collector's Edition was a option for those that backed at the $60 tier.
Since backing is currently unavailable and things are locked down your option is to wait and maybe the Collector's Edition will be available as a pre-order prior to launch.
Seeing as you said you won't be be buying, You probably weren't interested enough in the project anyways to do your own research.
The collector's edition isn't available any more - it was exclusive to the campaign.
There will be a standard retail physical release, though.
1. You don't need to be a condescending and be an ass with your reply.
2. There are a lot of information on that 1st page. It is not a crime to reply to someone who is interested in buying your game.
3. If its only for backers a simple "Sorry but its not available anymore for people who didn't back the project" would have done.
4. Sorry but I work, have a child to look after plus deal with a sick family member. Unfortunately I can't spend every day on here seeing what games are announced etc etc. So yeah games can slip through the radar or get forgotten or unnoticed because you know life gets involved. So accept my apology if I'm not up to date with information on the game.
5. Again you don't need to be a condescending elitist.
^And your response to the dev wasn't condescending? They work and probably have a family, too. As I thought, they responded when they saw your post. Stop playing the victim when you're the one being "entitled".
Jesus Christ...
Jesus Christ...
I work and have family to take care myself. You aparent "apology" doesn't amount to much when you resort to ad hominem without the patience to wait for a reply, because the devs also are in the middle of crunch trying to get things done and the very few chances Ravidrath does post in this thread sharing new information available. Your remark was completely unnecessary considering your reply on post 616 in this thread, yet apparently I'm the one that is a "condescending elitist"
Explain to me how I was condescending? He skipped my question but replied to one right after. Jesus Christ
The developer doesn't need you coming in for his defence. Funny how a simple question get people all riled up. Last I check a forum is there for helping each other and answering questions in case someone needs it. Not to be attacked just because. Anyway I'm done, wasn't looking to derail the topic.
Wow this is so cool! I love demakes like this.Now that i mentioned SkullHeart, a user here made a great DEMAKE of the Demo:

It isn't about defending him, but more about when you see a person acting like an ass. Perhaps a little lashing will help you act better next time.
How is this not being condescending? Impatient to boot. You could have looked at the OP or googled if you were in such a hurry.
Do you demand developers speak to you personally for every game you buy?
It's nice to see some activity in this thread again.
Really big fan of the new enemies. Especially the two "angel backer" ones.
For some reason, I assumed animation was done with playable characters facing he right and enemies facing the left, so seeing Tziti facing the right threw me for a loop. . .but I guess having everyone face the same way is probably way easier of animators
Also, how does one pronounce Tziti? Would it be like Ziti? Because I totally want to make pasta jokes everytime this character appears :p

This is probably not going to seem very helpful, but Tzitzi is pronounced Tzeet-zee.
Oh, really? That's reassuring! I thought physical was limited to that collector and I missed it big time.
Will definitely buy it, keep up the awesome job guys! :D
Now that I see better the titans of Kaanul's cenotes, it seems they are made with Flash animation and not like the other enemies types.
It look very simplistic in my opinion
Yes, it's Flash. It's far too detailed to animate by hand, and doing so wouldn't really add much to it.
And judging the complexity of this monster's animations from the Idle state isn't exactly fair, or a good way to go about it.
The Manote Thiha boss from the prototype was also animated in Flash, BTW, and most people are surprised when we tell them that. It's just more obvious here because the monster's base design is so clearly segmented.
Damn this is the first I'm hearing about this, and preorders/backing options are disabled :(
Guess I'll just keep it on my radar.

Haha, man... so many people like you coming out of the woodwork, all of a sudden.
On one hand, it's awesome that we're getting more attention, of course.
On the other, it makes me wonder if our crowdfunding campaign wouldn't have been so traumatic if everyone had found out sooner.
Damn, didn't know it was a tumultuous campaign or that there were any difficulties (having literally found out about it today). Regardless, I'm just glad this game is a thing period. Dunno what version I'll end up with, but going off of everything I've seen, I'll be here day 1.
(downloading the PS4 demo right now)
It was a rough campaign - 60 days instead of thirty, and I was honestly an emotional wreck for most of it.
After Bloodstained and Shenmue 3, the media mostly stopped covering crowdfunding campaigns, and between the prototype you're DL'ing now and everything we had designed our campaign to generate a lot of media attention.
Things improved a lot after we got the prototype out on PS4, because that was a first and thus newsworthy enough for the media to cover.
Our fans were even more awesome than usual, though, and did everything they could to generate attention for the game, and I think that played a big part in getting us over the goal and funding the stretch goals we did.
Glad to hear your guys stuck it out through the tough parts. Finished messing around with the demo. Got my ass handed to me with one of the later monsters. Still gorgeous game with really cool characters.
Yeh, this is really sad
I need to really dig deep by myself to find some good quaility looking Kickstarters/ Indiegogo projects.
Also without want to to sound like a bad person, I believe a crowfunding in Kickstarter would had been better for the game.
You are hardly the first person to say this, haha. It was a pretty constant refrain during the campaign.
We went with IGG because we had success with them on Skullgirls, and they promised us a lot of promotion and support if we went with them again, as well as grandfathering us into their old rate structure.
However, what we didn't know was that IGG hadn't been working on it's brand image at all. And in the intervening years, because of a lot of bad campaigns that wouldn't fly on KS, their public perception was that they were "shady," and that all of their campaigns used the flexible funding model.
So we had to do a lot of educating the public about the platform while pitching the game, too. But our community helped out a lot with this, because they're overwhelmingly happy with how we handled the Skullgirls IGG campaign.
And the promotion they promised never really materialized, either.

Late to this, but there's actually One Weird Trick (TM) that one can use in some very specific cases like simple tattoos and such, and this would qualify. It involves actually drawing both crescents, and then hiding one via palette swap.
For a very simple example, you draw crescent 1 with color 1, crescent 2 with color 2, and the center area with color 3. Then depending on where the character is looking, you either palette swap color 1 and 3 to yellow and 2 to blue , or 2 and 3 to yellow and 1 to blue. In reality is not a single color, as there's shadows and highlights of both blue and yellow, but it's the exact same for those.
Edit: Whoops, didn't realize you're actually one of the game's developers! Sorry if the above sounds like I'm actually telling you guys to do it, or if it's obvious, or if it's easier said than done; it was just a random trivia bit I was throwing out for the benefit of non-devs. :)

While that seems workable for this character, it would seem pointless to do it on an ad-hoc basis. You don't really gain much if only some characters can do it because invariably you'll get both types on the screen at once it might only serve to accentuate the strange nature of what is happening.
That is pretty much why we don't bother doing it, even when it would be "easy" like in this case.
And complicated palette sectors aren't exactly "easy," either - it has to be pretty precise and it still adds a lot of work, especially if we're talking smaller details.
Parasoul's hidden glasses, for example, were apparently a bit of a nightmare to clean up.
Well, it depends. Street Fighter III was perfectly happy with, say, Gill actually having his colored sides change with orientation via palette swap, yet having Oro change which arm he's restraining every time someone jumped over him. :)
In any case, I'm not saying it should be done. I'm just saying that, in this case, it could.
Both this and Bloodstained are going to turn out amazing it looks like. I really hope so too as both games deserved it. I've funded very few games like this but these were worth it.
