General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse!!!

Glad it's not Sonia, let's leave her in her timeline, no need to rewrite/remake a character that has fans out there.

This trailer was a good watch, they definitely put a lot on effort on respecting the lore. Acknowledging Grant, CoD Isaac, Carmilla with the OG Mask, Rose directly quoting Leon. If the rest of the game keeps nailing Castlevania spirit like that, we're in for a good time. Some of the Castle rooms also look very nice.

I'm still not sure about certain gameplay choices and the never-ending flashing screen effects however.

It’s not Sonia, it’s a new Belmont named Rose

The Steam page got an update and this icon leaked.

(click to show/hide)

Could be the same artist as the Lords of Shadow games?

Also State of Play got announced for June 2nd, probably we'll get more news then.
Every 3 days the official Twitter is posting short clips about game contents but it's mostly stuff of little significance, like "Bats are going to be in the game".

Some minor new clips

I don't know, the music sounds like total garbage. The candlestick also dropping the same item as the zombie (coffee?) rather than hearts or money is weird but w/e.

I’m glad I didn’t preorder it, it looks ‘just okay’ to me..

Hello! Since you stated you're open to suggestions I will put in my two cents of mind.

- If possible, make controller remapping and keyboard remapping fully intact on launch.
- We do not know if it's too complex in your environment, but a color toggle of [post-hit flash on enemy's body] would be awesome to player's eyes. Style A= white flash, Style B= darker flash, Style C= green flash, etc..
- We do not know if it's too complex in your environment, but a sound volume toggle will be gracious to player's ear, BGM/SFX volume slider, etc...
- If possible, make [player collision box against environment] and [player hurt box against hazard/enemies] two separate objects so that it's easier to manage game balance.
- Since your project is going to be modeled after contra games we hope there could be some branching paths in order to guarantee some replay value.

The samurai vs Cho fight scene was probably the best thing associated with Sumi and Taka, so we wanted to have an excuse to feature it, and made them as sort a tie-in/reference to Alucard's future interest in Japan and its anti-vampire secret agency. lol

When we did some private test screening, we had a single "too much music" complaint, but I believe Castlevania with no music is like bread with no butter - it can be watchable, but music helps a lot in setting the tone and makes the scenes more memorable.

Yes, it was one of my earlier ideas - Trezire de Spiirit is one of those themes associated with Trevor (since he was the protagonist in most CV pachislots), and the song lyrics fit really well with how the heroes are "entering the Devil's palace".

Neat! Definitely a good setting for another Demon Castle War game. Man, it reminds me to check up on how Seal of the Eclipse is doing...

Yes you did well by keeping that scene in, I have no problems with stuff like that, I was just expressing my worry about the new game.

Sumi and Taka getting repurposed is also hilarious

Hmm perhaps there is too much CV music? I don't need it to play when Alucard is grabbing some water from the river, for example.

Ah, Trezire de Spirit at the castle entrance, very cool.
