Development Update – Quests and a Mini-Game Update (Plus Important Platform Deadline Information)

Greetings, Army of the Night! For April’s development update the team has put together a look at the quest system that Miriam will be able to use to help the villagers who’ve survived the emergence of the demon castle.

Here’s IGA to introduce it! (Also, scroll down for important information about deadlines to choose your platform for the main game and the mini-game.)

(Programming note: Mana will be translating future updates into Japanese—you’ll see her handiwork below each section.)

Greetings, Army of the Night! 4月の開発アップデートはクエストシステムのご紹介です。 クエストシステムでは、城の悪魔に襲われた村を生き延びた人たちをミリアムが手伝うことができます。

早速、IGAに紹介して頂きましょう！

Hello everyone, this is IGA.

For this month’s update we would like to explain the quest feature. We’ve already shown you the village where Dominique and Johannes have opened their shop and alchemy room, respectively. The village was destroyed by the demons from the castle, but the remaining villagers have gathered in a safe haven nearby. These people have their own troubles—let’s help them out!

「こんにちはIGAです。 今回のバッカーアップデートは、クエストについての説明です。

以前、村のステージを紹介しましたが、この村にはドミニクが経営するショップと、ヨハネスの錬成室があります。 この村は、城からあふれ出した悪魔たちによって滅ぼされています。 その生き残った村人たちはドミニクたちがいる場所に集まってきます。 実は、その人たちですが色々と困りごとを持っています。 というわけで、困った村人達を助けましょう！

Let’s take a look at Lindsay, and the troubles she’s facing. She holds a grudge against the demons that killed her close friends. In order to avenge their deaths, she asks Miriam to kill certain types of demons. She might even ask her to kill a rare demon… She has a habit of saying, “Kill that murderer dead!” There are other villagers like her that need our help. Let’s help these villagers and obtain rewards.

I’d also like to update you on the retro mini-game. There have been some changes from the time we started the Kickstarter campaign; originally, the mini-game was supposed to be a story that took place 10 years prior to the main game, but we’ve decided to have it take place in a different part of the lore. 

The story for the mini-game was developed based on the world of Bloodstained, but it should be enjoyed separately as a spin-off rather than a prequel story. We will have more details very soon, so please look forward to it. [Fangamer note: Mini-game platforms are now unlocked in eligible reward surveys! Please choose your platform as soon as possible.]

I would also like to take this opportunity to tell you about another project. My friend and fellow game developer Swery is currently gathering funds for his own Kickstarter project, the Good Life. I don’t need to tell you about this guy’s incredible talent—please take a look at his project! 

今回は、村人の一人リンジーさんの困りごとを紹介します。 彼女は、自分の親しい人たちが悪魔に殺されたことを恨んでいます。 その復讐を果たすため、ミリアムに特定の悪魔を倒してくるよう依頼してきます。 もしかしたら、レアな悪魔の討伐も依頼されるかも…。 そんな彼女の口癖は「ぶっ殺しておくれ！」です。 こんな感じで、困っている村人たちが他にもいます。 みんなの困りごとを解決して、報酬をゲットしましょう。

8bit版につきまして、ちょっとKickstarterで話したストーリーから変更しようかなと思いまして、それにつきましてご報告です。 元々、本編の10年前の話を描こうかと思っていたのですが、別のエピソードにしようかと思います。 本編との関連性は考えて制作されていますが、スピンオフ的に単独でも楽しめるものになる予定です。 詳細はもう少し待ってね。

この場を借りて、ちょっと紹介したいものがあります。 私の友人のクリエーター、スエリーがKickstarterで今まさに資金を集めております。https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/476090608/the-good-life 彼の異才っぷりはここで説明するまでもないかと思います。 ちと見に行ってやってください！」

ArtPlay also passed along another look at an enemy you’ll cross paths with: Decarabia.

Making some Bloodstained art that you’d like to share with the backers? Tag it #igavania and we’ll track it down for a future fanart spotlight!

Last but not least—check out this amazing mod someone made to put Miriam (and a couple of familiar enemies) into Resident Evil 4! I don’t think this is canon, but it’s pretty neat…
