Whoa. Been a while since I've had the time to slink on by.
I see there being a bit of misunderstanding due to the language barrier.

I just now saw the demos and will try them out this weekend and give a proper critique after.
I'll be looking at it as an artist, as a game designer, and as a gamer.

Good day. Here is Episode 03 (in which Simon reaches the third castle and fights Death):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIB8q-G54gI

You can find the latest (and the last) DEMO here:
https://arkhousetelegraph.blogspot.com/2018/05/ctsotc-wip-episodes-3.html

(skip the previous demo (demo 02) - I forgot to delete my debug object, so you might experience weird things going on in it... Demo 03 is OK. Link is above.

I was talking about attitude towards others who don't see things as you do.
I was talking about the same thing myself.

Best to take a step back and examine the posts (without the anger involved) and interpret what I actually meant rather then what you think I meant.
I can give you the same advice. I have a feeling you don't read my replies at all :D I have said to you that I can make a second version of the game (possibly just for you). Isn't it what they call a compromise?! Am I not the one who made that compromise proposal? What else do you want? I'm a good guy as always.

(There is a second compromise option too, but I'm still thinking about it... Can't say much at the moment.


mgfcortez, thank you! Glad you like it.  :)

I would love to see you make sprites of sotn Alucard or castlevania 3 Alucard and Trevor.
I don't have such plans. The only other Castlevania project I'm planning to make is the remake of Castlevania 1. After that I'll stop working on fan games. I want money. ;D

There is no language barricade. My Engrish is damn good. ;D

Good luck then. I hope you'll like it. (But please play Demo 3 instead!)

I might have turned dumb, but I can't seem to find any gates.
I'm playing the 3rd demo and I think I'm stuck.
I got as far as the Barrier in the cave east of Jova, but the dagger won't break it.
Did I miss something?
Also, I should mention that I took the long way around and entered Jova from the east instead of the west.

The gates are inside secret passages. To locate the first one, you must pay attention to a "special block" that the boy on one of the villages tells you about. This special block is next to an unconventionally tall ledge when compared to the others around it in the forest (two or three blocks high, I don't remember). Simon fits neatly under it -- because he's supposed to go inside the wall for to find the secret.

Ah. I thought he was referring to the big floaty block with the dagger weapon crest on it so I got confused. Thanks.

C:TSOTC is still in progress. Episode 4 is ready. I'm not uploading any demos this time, but here's the video on Youtube:

https://youtu.be/Og8BWAOKbOE

Just 2 episodes left and it's done. Next episode is the biggest though. The original game had less content in its second half - normally you would suffer in between Deborah Cliff and Aljiba town. The rest was easy - almost linear. I'm going to do it "JRPG way" instead: totally linear first half and open-world second half closer to the end of the game. At least that's the plan. It even has 2 sub-quests. One involves "The graveyard Duck" - you can see it on the video. Second is still in progress...

And, yes - the game is getting even darker. It's Simon's Quest/Silent Hill as I have written before ;D.

Inccubus, sorry, I wasn't here to tell you. How's your progress? Have you beaten the demo? Or have you stopped playing it?

Glad you like it. :) I just want the battles to have as much variety as possible.

No worries. I haven't gotten passed the 2nd Nightmare. To be honest I found it frustratingly difficult. I've been terribly busy with running my new Etsy store, so I haven't had a chance to go back to it as of yet. I'll make some time for it in the next few days.

I did watch the new video, and OMG! It will all be worth it for the Graveyard Duck! That really put a smile on my face.
And as always, the artwork looks amazing.

Glad you like it. You'll receive a silk bag if you defeat the Duck - just like it was told in the original. ;D

That is surprising. You have infinite "continue" and even if you die you restart right in the same room with all HP healed. It's a very friendly game...


...and it's released. Here's the Release Trailer:

As this is complete, is this something you'd like to have reviewed over on the Inverted Dungeon?
