Topic: CASTLEVANIA THE LECARDE CHRONICLES II April 2017

I'm slow at this lol I'm only at the mines, getting my ass kicked by the reverse blob.

I like it a lot so far. The atmosphere is more fantasy than CV for me so far, but I'm still not very far into it.

Belmontoya, your music is great. Please release a few MIDIs of your pieces, I'd love to remix some of them.

I can agree with this sentiment...until you get to the castle. If you're not quite feeling the vibe yet, you will once there. Especially with the Entrance Hall's music.

This game feels like a marriage between Simon's Quest and Order of Ecclesia, the difficulty isn't unforgiving but it isn't a walk in the park.

I really like the simple yet flashy acrobatics you can do in this game, makes me feel like I'm good at playing videogames.

And the level design...

Horror Gallery is probably one of the best levels I've seen in a game.
Also the graveyard and the Garden of the Dead, that's my aesthetic, such soothing places.

Hi everybody! 

I'm glad that you like the game it has been a big ordeal for me. i've got lot's of messages of congratulation coming from everywhere in the world in my email and i cannot answer everyone of them but know i'm very touched.
I want to thanks everybody who participed in the game creation and promotion. the success belongs also to them.
Thanks so much to Belmontoya who has worked very hard for the game's success in many ways.

By the way many players have asked me for a physical copy even by purchasing it. i'm sorry but they were for contributors. There are only 37 of them, most of them have been dispatched. I keep some of them "just in case". I cannot sell the game whatever it's form is. It was the condition to agree Konami and it's fair.

Nevertheless if you want, i can show pictures of them.

I also have received messages of stucked players I know that many players have already completed the game at 100% so please ask for those hints in the forum because i cannot answer every one

I'm now very tired, the backlash after the game creation's end is very hard for me. Creating the game kept me busy for most of my free time. I'm a Youth center manager as a civil servant, i lead a team of 10 people. My regular job is already hard, full of pressure and time consumming.

I have been asked to make a sequel by many players and other projects based on their ideas. I'm sorry but i will need many "lifetimes" to do that

I need now many monthes of peaceful rest in the game creation domain

thanks again to everybody i hope the new players will enjoy the game.

When I see the richness of details this game have in pratically EVERY SCREEN I can perceive how much you've sacrified youself to make this game so excellent.
Thanks very much Mig!

I think all the slots share the same % since i start again this happen:

my second slot its the second time i play and i dont think i have 100% yet


and since the three share the % they share the warp so when you find the 1st wrap in sergony (dont remember well the name) you can go straight to the castle, i dont know how will be to crazy to go with that equipment (i think im going to try XD)

 still not something that kills the experience, you have to be a lot of good to go and try that.

Only gripe, more like a nitpick, is that the names of the bosses are uninspired (this does not include important character bosses, who are, as with important NPCs, are fine). Though, that's just a nitpick. Everything else about this game, in all honesty, is a CV dream! This is the kinda game I've always wanted Konami to put out, but never got around to it. The sheer size (this and the first game) makes my fanboy heart dance. Excellent job!!!

[Belmontoya]

Go to our twitter to win a physical copy of the game!

[Belmontoya]

Congrats to the winner, Aensland!

Like Mig said, the physical copies are VERY limited. So it's unlikely we'll have another to spare. But if we do, I'll post here again to let you all know!

[aensland]

Congrats to the winner, Aensland!

I hope it comes signed at least by one of you both

[DoctaMario]

Bleh I'm stuck. How do you get past the endless lotus fields to the east of Servigny mansion?

You're disoriented. Search the opposite direction.

You've got a "mig" in there!

He was very thoughtful with these.

Will go ahead and give you this hint:

Even with Servigny Mansion explored as best as can be done, the fields beyond are out of bounds with the abilities and items you have at this point in time. You'll have to travel west-ward, in hopes of finding the item necessary for the fields

Would say more, but I just noticed Belmontoya adding his own suggestion in, and my hint is already dangerously similar in line with his.

I am enjoying my time with the game, but I have a question regarding control issues that I didn't have with the demo.

Is there a way to force the game to "override" detections with a controller? For example, when I use my PS4 controller -- which is mapped to 360 controls -- the options button is used as the games' pause button, but when I select the character menu to that button, the button no longer does anything.

I was trying to get a control scheme to more accurately follow the Metroidvania games, so this tiny hiccup is my only problem with the game. I do like the scope so far.

[Chernabogue]

I made quite some progress, but I'm not done yet (currently finished the University stage, got the Crucifix and went back to the previous city -- that backward travel was hard as balls). I'll post a complete review once I'm done with it. So far, it's very nice!
