Hardcore Gaming 101 / Re: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

« Last post by Wecoc on January 19, 2025, 04:28:08 PM »

I’ve been getting back into Totk and started playing Turnip Boy does Tax Evasion.

Uh... Ok, that game is weirder than I thought.

I've been playing some Dark Souls 1, but that game is too easy so I decided to hack Diablo 2 and play as the town's cow instead.

It's hard to group them, since it's not clear in the late games how canonical things really are, and whether you can consider them a shared universe or their own separate thing (see for example the Lord of Shadows series). As crisis said, Order of Ecclesia may be the closest bet, back in 2008.

Apart from that, after LOS2, everything has been spin-offs (mostly slot machines), collections, or cameos to other franchises: List of Castlevania media

Grimoire of Souls is mainly considered its own thing, since both in style and execution it's probably more close to a spin-off.
On the same note, some people consider Bloodstained in the same pack as a "spiritual successor" of the series; if you include that, I believe it's been almost five years since the last big release.

(Grimoire was also a gacha game until it was discontinued and rereleased without the monetization elements, so it's not a great look...)

Off Topic / [Introduction] Who is that? Oh my, it's Wecoc!

Hello, fellow vaniaheads! I'm Wecoc, and I make mods for Symphony of the Night. I'm also a pixel artist, although some of my art is... stupid.
That aside, I'll be sharing some of my stuff for anyone to use on their hacks, so stay tuned.

For example, I guess here are some mockups I made some time ago.

(click to show/hide)

I've done some collabs in the SOTN Randomizer as well, and I'm coauthor of the presets Beyond, Dog's Life, and Big Toss.
I've also built some challenges with LUA code, like weapon durability, floor is lava, "if you bonk you lose" and other silly (but fun) stuff like that

So, with all that, I'm here to have fun, share some of my stuff, and help others in this hard climb that is game development and modding;
as Alucard may say... I'm interested in this.

Grimoire of souls was the last main series game. It just gets overlooked because it was released on mobile and is currently only available on Apple devices. It continues the story from the series main timeline.

LOS was a hard reboot I would hardly consider that a mainline game.

I may be wrong but i believe the last canonical entry was Order of Ecclesia, way back in 2008

I read somewhere online that the last time a main series Castlevania game was released was 10 years ago.  Can someone please clarify me on this?

Really nice work! You're almost inspiring me to crack open my McFarlane Robert Pattinson Batman and fix his weirdo side eyes. 👀

With the last few requests in my inbox had been dealt, the reworking progress had been once again in halt. In time I'll have different other projects in store so I cannot guarantee there will be something moving for LC2's rework in a while.
It's been fun to gather talented people for a community rework project this huge!

My new theory... Chronicles of the Wolf was delayed last year to coincide with the launch window of the Switch 2.
