You\u2019ve seen core systems, mini-games, customizations&#8230; A JRPG fan\u2019s dream. But even though this is our last Monday of the campaign, we have a big, big week planned for you. As we\u2019ve stated throughout the campaign, this is ultimately a big test of whether people still want JRPGs these days. The more this campaign raises, the more content we can create &#8211; the better the game. Nothing left on the cutting room floor. To that end, we are introducing a few vanity items as options. These are largely for people who can support us with one last push. As always, we want you to crowdfund responsibly, so only pledge as much as you feel comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d268cc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-bridge_separator_with_icon\" data-id=\"d268cc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"bridge_separator_with_icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"separator_with_icon\" ><i class=\"fa fa-angle-double-down\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-546ac29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"546ac29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Stretch Goals<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are on the last leg of the campaign so we are previewing an additional stretch goal so you can see further ahead!

Most typical game release cycles allow for the teams to create assets over the span of 1-2 years before announcing a game. But a Kickstarter takes that entire timeline and compacts it down to a few months. It\u2019s a lot of work in a short amount of time. But thanks to all the backers, dreams were fulfilled, stretch goals added, and amazing collaborations have happened. To that end, as a way of saying thanks to our backers who took a chance on us, we are holding a closing stream to celebrate. But that&#8217;s not all. We are also holding a backer only concert on the day after the campaign is over. We call this the &#8220;Golden Ticket&#8221; concert as it&#8217;s something we are specially putting on for backers who have helped us along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The closing stream which anyone can view will be on September 30th at 8AM EST\/4AM PST. We know, we know. The timing isn&#8217;t great for our Western backers but Kickstarter doesn&#8217;t allow you to set closing times down to a different hour other than the start point. We started at 12:50PM EST\/9:50AM PST so that&#8217;s our finish line. The closing stream will have all of the core creators together, some amazing mini-games, Machida memes, and even new music announced by Armed Fantasia&#8217;s sound team Elements Garden. It&#8217;s also the only time you&#8217;ll get a chance to purchase the signed &#8220;Composer&#8217;s Dream&#8221; CD. (See below for details)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The backer-exclusive GOLDEN TICKET concert<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">taking place on October 1st at 3AM EST\/6AM PST<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will feature live performances from Hirota-san, EBP&#8217;s Okamiya-san, and Kaida-san as well as a surprise guest Shoji Meguro-san. There will be interviews with a few special guests who will be contributing on the Composer&#8217;s Dream CD as well as helping with Penny Blood&#8217;s soundtrack. We&#8217;ll be announcing them on Wednesday. We&#8217;ll even have a few pretty famous developers on other titles come join us and participate in the fun. This golden ticket concert<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will be gated behind a backer-only update so that only backers can participate.

400;\">As Penny Blood takes place in the 1920s, I naturally wanted to incorporate customs and culture from the era into the game, such as how the underground worked during Prohibition America, which gangsters were popular among the people, speakeasies, illegal gambling halls filled with roused-up gamblers&#8230; The ideas never stop coming, and the concept of a dog race mini-game was one of them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dog races were also called greyhound races. The competition was born in the UK in 1876, then spread to places like America and Macau. By 1923, America had become the center for dog racing, so I really wanted to include them in this game. The idea also goes perfectly with one member of the cast, so I thought it\u2019d be a great way to give him a chance to really shine on his own.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In dog races, dogs chase a mechanical bunny around a 400 meter track while spectators bet on which order the dogs will come in. Some forms of betting include simply betting on who will come in first, betting on who will come in first and second, and betting on who will come in first, second, and third.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the dog racing mini-game, players will be able to bet on their favorite racers to win some extra cash. Additionally, there will be the rare occasion when a young little wolf decides to enter the competition himself, and players will be able to control him on his race to the finish. I hope you\u2019re all excited to take a peek at the pulse-pounding world of dog racing in the 1920s!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb43c46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-bridge_separator_with_icon\" data-id=\"eb43c46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"bridge_separator_with_icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"separator_with_icon\" ><i class=\"fa fa-angle-double-down\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43784ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43784ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>New Location<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7e6cbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a7e6cbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-724x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-768x1087.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas-700x991.png 700w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UD-gulgalta_underpas.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc1c3fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc1c3fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Golgotha Asylum Underpass<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the behest of Director Burns from the BOI, Matthew rushes over to Golgotha Asylum.

I&#8217;m Emilia Dawson.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a pleasure to meet you, Agent Dawson. Your thoroughness in your confidentiality says a great deal about how professional you must be. My shoulders are a tad stiff, given how tight the handcuffs were&#8230; Oh, but I&#8217;ll be fine, don&#8217;t you worry. One ought to be tough if they\u2019re to work in journalism, I find.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This location must be kept secret, you understand. Truth be told, I should have declined your request for an interview right from the start.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Well, let me start by thanking you for the opportunity. My, this is quite the unsettling room. If I didn&#8217;t know better, I&#8217;d say we were in the lab of a mad scientist, or perhaps a hideout for cultists researching black magic rituals. Quite the peculiar mixture of the scientific and the magical.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Unsettling? This is<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> my<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> laboratory. I perform my jewel alchemy here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Jewel alchemy?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Bijou Alchimie \u2013 a special alchemic process used to create a type of stone known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lapis de haeresis&#8230; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right, I see you&#8217;re struggling to follow. I&#8217;ll do my best to explain in layman&#8217;s terms. Simply put, my power is supplied to me from this mage reactor that has been inserted into my neck here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;That pretty pendant is a reactor?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yes, and the stone that serves as its core is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lapis de haeresis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or a hereticore, as they\u2019re also known. These stones have the power to create enough energy to supply several power stations.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Several of them, you say?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The energy output differs per the quality of the hereticore. In other words, the rarer the gems used as the ingredients in the alchemical process, the more powerful the hereticore will be.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It has long been said that beautiful jewelry can enhance a woman&#8217;s charm exponentially, but it seems these gems truly do boost your <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">power<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in every sense of the word.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Indeed. As you can see, my left arm and both legs are mechanical, meaning I require energy from these hereticores to power my body.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Interesting\u2026 So the rumors were true.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What rumors?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I have heard about how an ally of Mr. Farrell&#8217;s fights evil\u2026not with magic or science, but a special sort of supertechnology.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Impressive. No wonder you&#8217;re one of the world&#8217;s top journalists.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This is all very intriguing. Would you mind telling me more? Is the alchemical process difficult to complete?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It is not easy, that much is certain.
