Hard to decide

Yesterday, we reported on a rumour which seemed to suggest that Koji Igarashi - he of Castlevania fame - was about to launch a Kickstarter campaign for his next game. The rumblings appear to have been true, as Igarashi has just launched a teaser site for his next venture - and it allows fans to have some influence on the direction of the project.

The site - named swordorwhip.com - features a 2D rendition of Igarashi himself, dressed and seated like Dracula at the start of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Below him stand two stone columns, each holding a weapon. You can click the weapon you prefer and your vote is recorded - but it's possible to change your mind if you wish.

It's possible to tweet from the page as well, with the hashtag #igavania - a not-so-subtle hint at the kind of game this will almost certainly end up being.

Voting is just one element of the site, however. Clicking weapons several times over generates a series of responses, some of which can be seen below. After a certain amount of clicking, Igarashi's avatar assigns you a clan - which could possibly hint at the mechanics of the game itself.
