Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, mostrato il sistema di crafting presente nel titolo

Qualche ora fa sono emerse novità in merito a Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, dalla pagina Kickstarter del titolo in arrivo anche su Nintendo Switch.

Il titolo di Koji Igarashi, storico producer della serie Castlevania, impegnato da tempo sulla realizzazione del suo nuovo gioco, in arrivo anche su Nintendo Switch nel 2018.

Potete trovare le novità sul crafting presente nel titolo, in calce all’articolo.

Development Update – Building up Crafting

Welcome to 2018! We’ve timed our January backer update to coincide with the most IGAvanian natural phenomenon we’ve ever heard of: The super blue blood moon eclipse. If you were in range of the SBBME, and you saw something that appeared to be a Bloodstained viral marketing campaign, do not be alarmed—that was just the moon.

For today’s update IGA and company have put together a video demonstrating the basics of the crafting system! I’ll let him introduce it:

Hello everyone, this is IGA. For this backer update, we would like to share a part of the crafting system we introduced during the initial campaign. I don’t know whether we should call it crafting or alchemy, but the mechanics are the same either way—you can combine items to make yourself new items and equipment. In the video, you can watch us concoct a more powerful potion and add some bite to Miriam’s basic whip.

You might ask, “Would you really call gluing spiky things onto a whip alchemy?” Well, maybe, maybe not. But that’s a simple introduction to crafting. Players can visit Johannes, an alchemist friendly to Miriam, to craft items. 

Weapons and items aren’t the only things that can be created using the crafting system—but we’ll introduce that another time!

Right now we’re busy with porting. The porting process always creates its own set of development challenges, but it’s nothing we weren’t expecting. So that’s what we’re working on right now.

ArtPlay also sent along a look at another enemy you’ll encounter in the game. I expect this one to be incredibly frustrating, in the grand tradition of all of IGA’s flying enemies.

Upcoming Event: SXSW

IGA’s going to SXSW! Be there on March 17 to catch his feature panel. You can expect new info, features, and news about Bloodstained, along with an audience Q&A and meet-and-greet. If you can’t make it out to Austin, don’t worry—you can still look forward to Roberto’s post-action report on the forums. Visit the panel page for more information. And if you’re interested in attending, the easiest and cheapest way to do that is to buy an SXSW gaming wristband.

(Just between you and us, that’s not the only reason March 17 is a special day for Bloodstained—it’s also IGA’s birthday!)

Last month the official Bloodstained Twitter and Facebook accounts had two more reveals to show off: The last Miriam fashion update (for now), and then… well, a strange package from the ArtPlay office. Take a look:

"The first Bloodstained reveal of the year is here, with Miriam wearing a cute fox mask! This is the last fashion reveal...for now...but much more is coming your way soon!"

The fanart spotlight rolls on with three more pieces from fans across the internet! If you’d like to be included in a future update, tag your piece with “Bloodstained” and “Igavania” on your social/artistic medium of choice and we’ll track it down.

 Roberto from 505 is back for this month’s last word. Roberto, take it away!

Hey everyone! January has been an insanely busy month, with a lot happening behind the scenes that we’ll be revealing soon. I did have one or two pretty big things I wanted to show since December, but unfortunately, between the holidays and not quite being ready for the light of day, they’ll have to wait for another time. Sorry about that, but I hope you’ve enjoyed all our other reveals, teases, and updates the past two months!

As for two other big things I know everyone is waiting for, a firm release date and a demo, I know waiting is hard, but we’ll be talking about those things very soon, hang in there. Speaking of talking, be sure to come hang out with us on the official Bloodstained Discordand Forums, where you can chat with me and tons of other wonderful community members! :)
