Will the game be exclusive to any one platform?
We will not enter into an exclusive agreement with a platformer. We have vehemently pushed this point with any potential publishing partner and won’t enter into an agreement with a publisher that requires us to do that. That being said, porting for platforms, CPU/GPU limitations etc are a real issue so we need to be careful with the commitments we make.
Who is the publisher?
Unfortunately, we cannot reveal that because there are several we are discussing the project with.
New Backers

Looks like they put a lot of though into this campaign, working with Western PR company specialized in Kickstarter.
Some interesting bits from FAQ:

Also more than a third of the bakcers are new to KS too. This somewhat aligns with Bloodstained KS.

Or they have to settle for something more realistic, like Bloodstained roguelike mode turning into a randomizer.I much prefer low ambition stretch goals like this. Stretch goal creep, with extremely expensive systems that need to be superimposed onto a game structure that cant support them are a project killer. And after Project Phoenix and that FFT scam every small risk factor is one too many.
This is how a living legend Murayama works at his place:
Cmon try 1 first. It almost a direct sequel.Gonna emulate Suikoden II before I decide to pledge. Will report thoughts after playthrough. Color me excited.

God damn, has he been suffering from depression or something? Place looks like hell. Look at the fucking stains on the monitor and the keyboard.
Jesus christ.

Was just reading the various interviews with Murayama and it's good to know there are SJW Village elders on hand at this early stage to nag about problematic representations of such and such in this spiritual successor to the game they never played. https://www.siliconera.com/yoshitaka-murayama-talks-about-eiyuden-chronicle-and-its-kickstarter/
Comments section was of course closed posthaste for wrongthink. Absolutely disgusting that these scum seek to poison the well at every conceivable opportunity.
Past games created by your team have regularly included troublesome and ill-informed race representation. What consulting and hiring are you doing to ensure your team has diverse voices and that Marisa (and other characters of color that are presumably in the game) are not given a similar treatment?
The only Black character revealed so far is Marisa, a young woman who is described as a member of a Guardian clan that seems to live in the forest and isn’t as technologically advanced as other groups (though still will occasionally use their tech). Are you concerned about how her depiction could come across? (Especially since, in Suikoden III, many of the Black characters all came from the Grasslands and Bob, one of the only Black cast members in Suikoden II, was also the only werewolf?)
