Topic: Vampiria Art

[Thaddeus]

Most of this stuff is outdated concept art (not actual in-game graphics) from several months ago, but since people have been asking for screens here they are.

I also posted this on the CVC and will update both threads as new art becomes available.

Outdated or not, I hope it looks better or as good. Cuz the art in these are ever so nice.

No matter how many times I see these, they never stop being awesome.

Thanks! And it will look a lot better... I think I've improved considerably since these screens. Within the next couple of days I will show some before/after images. There is a difference in quality. The newer tiles are more refined -- the palettes are slightly better.

My policy all along has been any Castlevania-esque artwork I put out is always free for use by the public without any special permission. All that I ask is if you decide to use my work, please credit me. And if you must modify my tiles please specify it in the readme (or wherever).

I'm going to release every tileset and custom sprite to the public eventually. Although I ask that people don't rip graphics from these screens since the quality is poor (and we haven't had a chance to use them in our game yet).

I will release the art, that way if the game doesn't meet expectations (which is highly likely since it's a fan-made game) people will at least be able to apply the graphics to their own projects.

Forgot to post this (to give you an idea of how the train stage is shaping up):

Wow this game looks badass, when's it sceduled to be released bro?

[Thaddeus]

Well if we could get a decent spriter, development would go much smoother. While I can sprite if I have to, it (animation) isn't exactly my area of expertise.

The only thing holding us back from releasing something is a lack of quality sprites.

Fear not; I was just reading my inbox and received word Ringo is hard at work finding us a spriter.

Ahhh...Thaddeus...your game is an Epic Win, continue with the great job...

how dare you say it's not your expertise.
your the god of spriting and backgrounds!!!
i wish i could sprite half as good as you.
we all bow down and pray to you every night that we can be bless with your holy powers!

no but all joking aside you are the best spriter that ever lived.
you should be the main art guy behind all castlevania games right now imo.
really who has ever made anything as cool as your sprites and backgrounds?
your the man!

Wow, amazing stuff Thaddeus!

I agree with everyone else here, these graphics rival anything ever put out in a "real" Castlevania game. It makes my game look like crap in comparison 

Where can I get more information about your project please? Is it going to be a stage by stage game or more of a Metroidvania like SotN is?

P.S: Those backgrounds are amazing as well, some of the best stuff I've ever seen in any video game.

[Thaddeus]

I appreciate the comments but I have to humbly disagree that the graphics rival the official art.

I'm thinking the game will be linear and non. The opening stages are more fast-paced action stages whereas the castle areas are more open and explorable. If I could compare it to any game in the series, it's like the original Castlevania meets Vampire Killer.

This will appeal to both fans of linear and non-linear gameplay.

I disagree, I think it does rival them. Definitely looks good. The only thing that would make it inferior maybe, is that its not as detailed, in terms of the stages, but the character looks pretty detailed.
