00:02We've got a knight here now
00:04Oh he's great
00:05I switched my load out
00:06Trying to get the advantage of the situation
00:08Man this place looks a little punishing
00:12It certainly turned up the heat
00:14So oh boy
00:15Tim you're off the show
00:16I'm sorry goodbye everybody
00:23Hi everybody welcome to another episode of PlayStation Underground
00:26You've got Tim and Justin here
00:27And we're joined by Tom Hewlett
00:29Who is a director at WayForward
00:30We're checking out Bloodstained Ritual of the Night
00:32Thanks Tom for joining us
00:34Yeah no problem it's exciting
00:35We're super excited to check out a new area here
00:38A very liquid hot magma-esque stage here in Bloodstained
00:46I love immediately
00:48I love kind of like the intense parallax effect going on with the environment there
00:52Yeah this is really cool
00:54So yeah Tom can you talk us a little bit about like you know this area
00:58And you know maybe where it fits in with the wider game
01:02Yeah so I mean this is a decent ways into the game
01:05I have some pretty advanced equipment and abilities
01:07We really wanted to show off
01:09I mean people have seen through the Kickstarter a lot of basic information
01:13Yeah
01:13And this will kind of show off some of the depth of you know
01:17Igarashi's games have a legacy of just having super deep equipment
01:20And all this lore and stuff
01:21And this will just show off a little taste of how deep that goes
01:25Yeah I love that
01:26So we'll be able to check out some different gear and options here
01:29And I even love like the familiar there
01:31Which is very you know reminiscent of like Igavania's I've loved
01:35And is that the Carabas or how do you pronounce that
01:39Yes that's Carabas
01:41She's a familiar like you said
01:43Cool
01:45Oh and now do we have a
01:46We got a knight here now
01:48Oh he's great
01:49I switched my loadout
01:50Trying to get the advantage of the situation
01:52It didn't really work out
01:53Man this place looks a little punishing
01:56It certainly turned up the heat
01:58So oh boy
01:59Sam you're off the show
02:00I'm sorry goodbye everybody
02:02So yeah for the uninitiated you know
02:04The sort of classic like Igavania style that we're referring to
02:07Is like it's side scrolling you know action platformer
02:12Where there's an emphasis on you know
02:14Usually you know acquiring new abilities or items
02:17Or what have you for the genre to explore new areas
02:20And unlock new areas
02:21And the castles and environments generally like
02:25Start folding back in on themselves
02:27Yeah Koji Igarashi
02:29One of the forefathers of this genre
02:33And he just like
02:35His work stands the test of time
02:36And this is him kind of coming back
02:38And taking a new stab at this kind of game
02:42A lot of folks are really excited about it
02:44There was a successful Kickstarter a few years ago
02:47When this game initially got off the ground
02:49Successful in part to you Justin
02:50Oh yeah
02:51I dropped a lot of money
02:53I'm a proud backer of Bloodstained
02:56So I'm very excited for this to finally launch
03:00Thank you
03:00So Tom we are
03:02We made it past a pretty perilous room there
03:05That was a pretty
03:06That's a pretty rough intro to the area
03:09So you got to be on your toes
03:10And as you mentioned
03:10It's a little bit later into the game
03:11So I suppose that would make sense
03:13Oh that level up is actually perfect
03:14That's awesome
03:15Yes there's a lot going on right there
03:17Which is good
03:17So people saw
03:19I switched a couple equipment loadouts
03:20Which you can do really quick
03:21You can save them several different sets there
03:26And then I got an Ice Blade
03:27Because I figured we're in a fire area
03:29That would stand to reason yeah
03:31Does that make a difference?
03:33Yeah it does
03:33Oh nice
03:34And then I leveled up when I killed that Hellhound
03:36So a lot going on
03:38I've been using some different spells
03:40This is my ice build here
03:41So are the spells similar
03:44Do they feel like almost like a fighting game input
03:48Like where you have a sort of
03:49Oh look at that
03:51Is it input based or
03:52So the spells I'm doing
03:54Here are button based
03:56You can set your shards
03:57In the menu
03:58There's several different types of shards
04:00So you don't just have one at a time
04:01Okay so this is just tied to specific buttons
04:03I can do a couple different abilities here
04:05That's awesome
04:05Oh nice
04:06The running slash I did there
04:08Kill off the dragon
04:08That's sort of an input command
04:11You'll find books throughout the game
04:13You can do the input commands without reading the book
04:16If you have the right weapon
04:18But the books kind of tell you
04:18Like hey use this weapon
04:19Try this command
04:20Ah okay
04:20And so you can experiment
04:22Or you can find those
04:24And you explore
04:26But they open up a lot of cool possibilities
04:29That I'll hopefully show off
04:30If I stop getting hit so much
04:32That's great
04:33So there's a lot of customizability
04:35So you know
04:35Just between like loadouts
04:37Like you said
04:38Gear loadouts themselves
04:39Like being able to swap between
04:40A few different options
04:41Oh of course there are mimics
04:43Oh that's brilliant
04:44Sorry death traps
04:44Yeah
04:46And then again
04:47You know I guess for the uninitiates
04:48Since we're kind of hopping in
04:49Halfway through
04:49So the game stars Miriam right
04:52Yes
04:52And she's afflicted with a curse
04:55That sort of like
04:56It turns some of her skin to crystal
04:59And there's some other characters
05:01That have
05:01This curse is sort of like
05:02A thematic tie
05:03With elements of the game
05:05Yeah so Miriam is a shard binder
05:08Along with several other characters
05:10In the game
05:10Actually let me show you
05:11That's really cool
05:12Over here
05:12Oh cool
05:13And so that means
05:15Demons can be sort of
05:18Melted down into these shards
05:20Okay
05:20As their essence
05:22And so shard binders like Miriam
05:24Can use those to gain abilities
05:26But
05:26Use every part of the animal
05:27Doing so
05:28I uncovered a hidden room here
05:29Oh nice
05:30Just by attacking that enemy
05:31You kind of
05:32So you're wind up with that attack
05:34Also
05:34Yeah it hit the wall behind me
05:36Cool
05:38But using shards
05:39Obviously something that powerful
05:41Has some drawbacks
05:42Right
05:42So that's the curse
05:43Like you mentioned
05:45Shard binders normally die
05:46Their body deteriorates
05:47Okay
05:48So you know
05:49What ramifications will that have
05:51On Miriam
05:52Yeah
05:53Players will have to find out
05:54Oh
05:54So that's very exciting
05:57So and then one thing
05:58We were seeing there
05:59Besides the secrets
06:00Are infamous with
06:01These Ygovania style games
06:03And you stumbled across the one
06:05By slashing your sword
06:06Here and there
06:07And so
06:08But that one
06:09We just went
06:09We slipped through
06:10Was that only accessible
06:12With the ability you're using
06:14Where you're kind of able
06:15To ricochet your
06:16Like a ricochet teleport
06:18Type thing
06:18Yeah
06:19So that's an advanced
06:21Navigation mechanic
06:22Okay
06:22So as you can see
06:24There's different possibilities
06:25That the one I just did
06:26Was pretty simple
06:27Just get through
06:27The little narrow corridor
06:28Okay
06:29Oh cool
06:30I like that dive kick
06:31Yeah
06:33Even just to
06:35Negate some
06:36You know
06:36Some damage
06:37By touching an enemy
06:39Useful
06:40Yep
06:41Very nice
06:42I like Miriam's outfit here
06:44Is that all customizable
06:45Is that stuff
06:46You can swap in and out
06:47She has a cool hat
06:48You can see
06:48Yeah
06:48It's crucial
06:49Pink duds
06:50Instead of her normal blue
06:52Very cool
06:54But yeah
06:54So there's different things
06:56You can find
06:56You can customize her hair
06:59Yeah
07:00You know
07:00Can we actually talk
07:01Quickly through the UI there
07:03Like the sort of wheel
07:04That you were working with
07:06Oh
07:06Was that like a parry mechanic
07:07Yeah
07:08It's a parry attack
07:08Nice
07:09Oh great
07:11Sorry
07:11You were saying
07:11No that was awesome
07:12So there's very
07:13There are some very
07:14Timing based abilities
07:15And high skill based
07:17Abilities like that
07:18Parry
07:20Oh awesome
07:20So yeah
07:21I was kind of curious
07:22About the UI there
07:22So this wheel
07:23Is this allowing you
07:24To kind of
07:25Sort of swap on the fly
07:26Here
07:27Yeah
07:27So that's just
07:29An L2
07:30Cool
07:30And it brings up
07:31The wheel
07:31And you can see
07:32You can buy some slots
07:33We've bought
07:34Five slots here
07:35And you just
07:36Click the one you saved
07:37And you're good to go
07:38Oh so like
07:38Different loadouts
07:39Yeah
07:39That's great
07:40You don't have to
07:40Constantly go in and out
07:41Of the menu
07:42Smart
07:43You can
07:43You know
07:44There's nothing wrong
07:44With that
07:45You can see your options
07:47Love those quality of life
07:48Here's a little
07:50Teleport room
07:50That'll take me elsewhere
07:51In the castle
07:51We're not going to do it
07:52Oh nice
07:53But
07:53Yeah we're here
07:54To check out this area
07:55But it's cool
07:56To know that
07:56You can use this
07:57Sort of stained glass
07:58Yeah
07:58Yeah
07:59There's books you find
08:00To give you some lore
08:01And here's a cool save room
08:04Oh very cool
08:05So you know
08:06There's something cool
08:07Behind the door
08:07That we're not going to look at
08:08So thank you
08:09You know
08:09Thank you for
08:10Thank you for
08:11Putting the
08:12Portal so close
08:13To the save
08:14By the way
08:14That's always
08:15Critical
08:16So
08:17Yeah really cool
08:18So are there any other
08:19Sections within
08:20You know
08:21This lava area
08:22That are worth checking out
08:23Or should we
08:24Oh no you're cursed
08:25I am cursed
08:26Check out a different
08:27Section of the game
08:28Yeah we have a
08:29We have a boss
08:30That it was
08:31Previously shown
08:32At some events
08:33But you guys might
08:34Want to give it a try
08:35See how you do
08:35Against some dragons
08:37I would love that
08:38Hopefully
08:38You know
08:39It's not as rough
08:40As this area
08:41But I'm happy to give it a shot
08:42So let's jump ahead
08:43To that boss battle
08:43Sure thing
08:44Alright so we're back
08:45And on our way
08:46To check out
08:46One of the boss battles
08:47In Bloodstained here
08:49Yeah I love these save rooms
08:51Like
08:52Such just like
08:53Like a unique vibe in here
08:54I could hang out in here
08:55For a little while
08:55We took a moment
08:56To change into
08:57A more comfortable outfit
09:00Yeah it looks
09:00Nice pose
09:01You got the purple flowers
09:03It's nice in here
09:03Yeah she's got an outfit
09:04For every occasion
09:05Yeah so different outfits
09:06We got some cool
09:07Some earmuff headphone things
09:09And a gas mask
09:10Which is functional
09:13Is it really?
09:14Is that actually a thing?
09:15It provides some defense boosts
09:16Oh nice
09:18So I mentioned
09:20You can get some hints
09:21On weapon usage
09:21So here's a bookshelf
09:22That sort of gives me
09:23A little helm splitter action
09:26Okay cool
09:27So it's some different moves
09:28That you can try out there
09:29So people can
09:30Look for those at home
09:31When they play the game
09:32Awesome
09:32That's awesome
09:32So remember to read
09:33It pays off everybody
09:34And then with some secrets
09:37If we play our cards right
09:40We might have to kill that guy first
09:42I believe in you
09:43Our car boss is going to help us
09:45Find a shortcut
09:47I know that she's fond of singing
09:50Is that right?
09:51Is that a thing that she can do?
09:53Yes she's fond of singing
09:57So she'll just point it out
09:58Oh nice
09:59Smart
10:00So you know
10:00So you might not have noticed that otherwise
10:02Yeah so treat your familiars well
10:04Capacity of what?
10:06Capacity of what?
10:07Just increased
10:07Ammo
10:09So you can have
10:14Okay so you just have ranged
10:15Oh okay
10:17Oh cool
10:18Alright
10:19Some guns
10:20Oh nice
10:21So yeah
10:21How many different types of weapons are there
10:24That Miriam has at her disposal?
10:25Is there a pretty wide variety?
10:28Yeah we've got
10:29You know
10:30Knives
10:31Swords
10:31Great swords
10:33Staves
10:33Spears
10:35Guns
10:35Wow
10:36Whips
10:36She's got a whip
10:37Which is cool
10:38Naturally
10:39Of course yeah
10:40Oh that's a great animation
10:42How else could you really slay the creatures of the night
10:44Without a whip?
10:45Yeah the animation is awesome
10:46And then there's a sectional staff
10:48Which I like
10:48Because you can do the
10:49Oh cool
10:50And extend it
10:51So there's lots of cool stuff to experiment with
10:54That's awesome
10:54And so
10:55And then speaking of ways to sort of combat
10:57You know
10:57The creatures of the night
10:58Oh are you getting ready to hand the controller over to us here?
11:02Justin do you want to give this boss a go?
11:04I'll let you decide who plays this
11:05I'm going to go?
11:05Alright
11:05I'm settling in
11:07I apologize for what you're about to see
11:08Let me get my bearings here
11:10Send us the professional here
11:10I was just going to mention
11:11Oh sweet
11:12So this is like a steampunk chargeable blade here
11:15Yeah
11:15Our testers gave you a good weapon to use
11:18So hopefully
11:19That's great
11:20Any other inputs I should be mindful of here?
11:24Okay
11:24Whoa
11:25That's a thing
11:26Yeah
11:27Yeah we can give you a super attack there on your triangle
11:29Okay
11:30I think if you do the right stick we'll aim
11:33Okay
11:33And if you do R2 I believe
11:35Okay there's high range
11:37Multi arrows
11:37Cool
11:38And you have some food
11:40There's a full crafting system in the game
11:42For equipment, items, shards
11:44That you can level them up
11:45Okay
11:46And food
11:47You can craft some food
11:48So you have a pizza and some things to heal with
11:50I mean I don't go into any boss battles without a nice greasy slice
11:55Yeah
11:56Oh hello
11:58Hey gorgeous
11:59Yeah he heard us talking about pizza
12:01And he is here
12:02He does not prefer cold pizza
12:04Oh wow
12:04He got
12:04I feel like there are two heads
12:08Yeah
12:08Yep
12:09There are two heads
12:09Better than one
12:10So as you mentioned this boss previously shown at PAX but I was not able to have a go at
12:15him
12:15Oh man
12:16You got this Tim
12:17Thank you
12:18You got this
12:19Tim you focus on playing
12:20You got this
12:21Yeah
12:21So
12:22We believe in you
12:23So Coach Igarashi coming back here and bringing you guys in to help with this
12:27How much kind of brainstorming around like the different boss creatures and like all the crazy weapons and stuff
12:32What were those meetings like coming up with all the different things in the game
12:35So Wave Forward's input on this game is fairly recent
12:38And Igarashi had another developer Deco doing the bulk of the game
12:43But you know games are very complex
12:45Yeah
12:45And schedules are a thing
12:46And the kickstarters were getting antsy to see the return on their investment
12:51Sure
12:51And so Artplay Iga's group really looked for
12:56You can tab over
12:58Oh really
12:59Okay
13:00Well I just ate your pizza
13:01Yep
13:01Thank you
13:02And so they looked for a team that would understand sort of the Igavania genre
13:07Who had experience doing games like this
13:09Yeah
13:09And Wave Forward certainly fits that bill
13:11And someone told them Wave Forward thankfully
13:14And so you know we came in and we sort of evaluated where's the game at
13:19We looked at all the various things we could do to help
13:25Graphically gameplay
13:27Game balance
13:28Map layout
13:29Just what could we do
13:31Yeah
13:31And then we had a big meeting in Japan with Iga's group and Deco
13:34And sort of found like well here's some things Wave Forward could do here and there
13:39And then that's what we did
13:40So
13:40Cool
13:41A big impact we had was sort of the art and the environment art
13:46Yeah
13:48Which looks great
13:48I mean I love there's a trailer that released somewhat recently
13:51Showing some of the upgrades to the art that happened over time
13:55And it's just really striking
13:56It looks fantastic
13:56Yeah so you know all that stuff
13:58You know a lot of the backers pointed it out on the early demos and stuff
14:01And of course you know games look rough early on
14:04That's just a normal part of game building
14:07But bringing Wave Forward on really helped them make sure it got the level of polish
14:10They wanted it to have in the limited time
14:12So then Deco could focus on the gameplay
14:14Cool
14:15Artplay could focus on gameplay and all sorts of different stuff
14:19And the art as well
14:20Then Wave Forward could kind of hit the art and go like
14:21Let's make this shine
14:22Let's make it really nice
14:23Yeah you guys are no stranger to this genre obviously
14:26I mean are our say Shantae fans going to come in and like recognize some of that
14:32Some of that DNA when they're playing Bloodstained
14:34Well it has a powerful heroine
14:36So that's a way forward thing
14:38Which is sort of serendipitous
14:40And so stylish
14:41Yeah and so stylish
14:42But we really
14:44Good job Tim
14:45Thank you
14:46Taking them down
14:47Got them
14:48That felt pretty good actually
14:49And so then you're going to get your shard
14:51Because that's what happens to demons
14:53Oh excellent
14:54But um
14:58Shantae Legacy
14:59But our mission on this
15:01Was really
15:02Not to make it feel like a Wave Forward version
