Wow, an HD, 2D Metroidvania that doesn't go for a "retro" pixel look? This might actually be good. :o

I'm curious about those basement stretch goals.
Lack of DRM-free version aside, I really don't like the art style, both for what concerns the "thrashy" chracters (monsters included) and the geenral colourfulness of the concept arts.
Also, I don't see real information about the game besides "it will be similar to SoTN". I'm not asking to present a model as clear and solid as those inXile presents, yet something more than the genre and the game engine would be appreciated.
Composer is that wonderful woman? I am sure to buy it at release. I bet my head that the game will be awesome.
Got a reply from Igarashi yesterday, it reads:

Hi! So sorry for the late reply. We're currently only planning to release the digital and physical PC versions of the game on Steam, but we've opened up beta access to backers who sign up for the PC version.

---------------------
I hope they consider GOG when it comes close to release, I loved Castlevania on PS1.

Disappointing, but not surprising. Got a similar reply from the Yooka Laylee kickstarter. Last I heard though the Yooka Laylee guys were looking into it. Fingers crossed that if enough people ask Iga's team will do the same. I bloody loved his Castlevania games, the GBA and DS ones really scratched my Metroid itch since Nintendo stopped making 2D ones.
These days, I usually avoid the videogame kickstarters that don't give a firm "yea" on GOG distribution. I am hoping that this game ends up on GOG, considering that Castlevania has served me well in the past.

I don't mind a lack of GOG as long as they commit to DRM-free.
They haven't updated the main page yet, but I received a Kickstarter update on the project saying that there will now be a Wii U port, once they hit the 3 million dollar mark. They are at 2.7 million dollars with 17 days to go, as of this post

Its on there now.

I'm heavily considering donating for a physical copy now for the Wii U. If the PC one is steam only I can get it later in some bundle or sale.
Hmm. I guess I'll just wait and see and get the Wii U version if it turns out well.
With the 3 millions mark surpassed, the Wii U port stretch goal is now official (both digital and physical). There is also a new stretch goal for the Vita version at 3.5 millions.
WOW :)
Still no word on a non-Steam version, not even a "we'll look into it".

Got a reply!
Hi Liam! We're happy to announce that the game will also be released digitally and physically on GOG. You can find more information here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/1252469
Thank you so much for your support!
The 'physical' bit is slightly puzzling (unless they plan to do a 'Witcher 3' with the physical version and include a GOG code).
YES.........!!!!!!!!
