Title: My old attempt at a Fan Made Game
Post by: Crimson_Curse on April 02, 2012, 05:36:50 PM
I REPAIRED THE GAME, SOON I WILL DELIVER YOU GUYS A DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY I GOT IT BACK!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

DEMO HERE
http://www.sendspace.com/file/0hkqzr (http://www.sendspace.com/file/0hkqzr)
HERE IT IS! THE GAME DEMO!
BEFORE PLAYING IT OPEN THE SETTINGS FILE AND EDIT res_opt=1 TO res_opt=4;!!!!!!
READ THE DESCRIPTION THAT IS IN THE GAME'S START!
be aware that it has some bugs and everything is out place
but if it was better placed and etc it would be great :3
try it out and if you have any problems tell me
First things first: I dont speak English.
I was always a big fan of Castlevania, so in 2007 I got game maker and tried to do something out of that context... It sucked, lol. So i kept on making small things and got away from Castlevania until 2010.
In 2010 I started this project out of Leopedrozo's engine. The project that I called Castlevania Epitaph of Blood. (sounds cool right? lol).
Leopedrozo got his old engine for me because he was going to start a new project ( Which you MUST check out : Castlevania Adventure: Chronicles (10th movie) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-1iHcjvPGk#) )
So, Yeah... I give TOTAL credit to him for giving me the early engine, it was awesome.
I was like DAYS "surfing" around his engine trying to learn his codes and etc. So I decided not to make a full game, but to use it for learning purposes... I started making all kinds of monsters and weapons, stages, A LOT OF THINGS FOR ME.
The point is... I worked on it for some months but eventually it tired me off... And when I went to see it again, i was always stuck on the ground and couldn't get the character off... So I decided to make a new one, with simple coding...
I just want to show you guys what I did on Epitaph of Blood.
Here you have my stages and some of my early menu things:
http://castlevaniaeob.blogspot.com.br/ (http://castlevaniaeob.blogspot.com.br/)
I was giving Richter Weapons ( ALRIGHT DON'T KILL ME, I KNOW YOU GUYS MAY LOVE THE VAMPIRE KILLER, but I thought it was a nice concept, that I don't know if was ever visited before...)
Here is the list of enemies I did.
Axe Lord
Balloon Pod
Bat
Big Balloon Pod
Black Panther
Bone Musket
Bone Pillar
Dodo
Ectoplasm
Frozen Shade
Ghost
Ghost Dancers
Hunting Girl
Imp
JackOBones
Mimic
Needle
Panther
Skeleton
Skull Knight - BOSS
Student Witch
Time Traveler - was a castlevania 1 or 3 enemie that could appear here and there LOL
Une
Waiter Skeleton
Winged Guard
Winged Skeleton
Zombie

The post must be giant but i still have some more screenshots fore you guys

in this first one you can see part of my intro menu and my familiar system which had only those 3 guys.

In this one you can see the effects I used like the water and the lights, that was thanks to JoaoBelmont and the reflex guy that I can't found his name... There is also my name entry screen and some of the weapons like that one gun there I worked with the sprites from Castlevania X(?) for Mugen... Another awesome game, never saw the full thing... Did they give up?
Well, That's it... I have more things like the Boss that I was very proud to show, but I'm too tired to be taking screens, Lol. Ask me anything =D

Wow! Your friend did a good job with that game. I'd say that the mechanics involving the flame whip is much better then the CV: Rebirth game IGA's team had done by far. And it looks as though your game is coming along nicely too. I'd like to try it out once it becomes playable.

I hope I can use some of the things I made for this old one in my next project, but thanks a lot man :3

Richter Belmont + high power rifle = Hillarious alternate ending.

Dracula: Is he ever going to get here?

Death: No idea, sir.

Dracula: *walks over to window* I mean come on, it's almost--

Just looking at the screenshots (and from your site) this looks interesting. A video of it in action would be nice.

Too bad the castle is really really big.  The guns in Richter's time would not have had the accuracy of reaching to the Castle Keep well.

Ah, a Brazilian Homebrew.  I've seen a few of those on Youtube.  I believe we have a few Brazilians here, too.
Castlevania is actually pretty popular in a lot of South America. :)

The Brazilian ones I know (Besides me) are - Leopedrozo and JoaoBelmont, I've already talked about Leopedrozo's game but JoaoBelmont was making 3 games that unfortunately were never finished. I saw one of his games here actually. Someone posted it saying that it was amazing so I told him about it :3 After that he had some conversation with the guys...
In case you are wondering :
http://www.youtube.com/user/JoaoBelmont/videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/JoaoBelmont/videos) Here you can take a look at his games, awesome stuff :3

PS : You guys are talking so much about shooting Dracula that I will end up making an fps game! (just kidding) But thinking about it now, that would be funny.. Seeing Dracula dead because of a Headshot ='D So much win.

I argue that point...of course it would require our heroes to travel through time and obtain some high powered weaponry...lol

Make it an unlockable ending in the menu for beating the game once. That's all I ask of you. Just that little bit.

All it did for me was crash and change my desktop resolution from 1920 to 1024 but I am running win8 consumer preview so that could very well be the issue for all I know.

Crash? Even if it crashed it should be easy to make it work... like just pressing ignore hm* I think it may work only on xp? That's strange, my friends could play it on 7... But yeah he has that resolution problem... Never got it right, but you can change it on the options menu, or change it on that settings.something that I told everybody to change that value

So far, it seems like a very poor engine edit. Everything seems out of place, and it does not seem very neat or planned out.

Man, did you read anything ? LOL
This is a dead project! I made this demo throwing in EVERYTHING I did, just for you guys to see the enemies and some backgrounds! There is no plot! no plans! Just had some much on that engine that I wanted to show in one place.

Yeah I got that. Not sure that your comment was particularly directed at both my comment and the last one. From what I saw you had something decent going on at one point but I wasn't able to get far myself due to the crash issue.

Are you still doing anything or did you just put this up for the hell of it? Just curious.

Post by: Crimson_Curse on April 06, 2012, 10:32:32 AM
It's a ''dead'' project that I had in 2010, as I said. And the comment was only for the last guy LOL
But I'll try to take some of the best things os this one, and place it in my new one... I decided to start all over again because this one was overloaded with useless things...
And, How much can you play ? Did you actually made your way to the first screen or It crashes before the gameplay ?
Title: Re: My old attempt at a Fan Made Game
Post by: Corpsecrank on April 06, 2012, 11:12:09 AM
crashed before I could play. But it doesn't matter really.

What do you plan to use for an engine this time around?

I couldn't understand the question :/
But I think you might be talking about a program? If yes, I'll be using Game maker 8, again.
If you wanna keep up with the project:

If I got it wrong, tell me there, since it's about the new one :3

Post by: Corpsecrank on April 06, 2012, 07:06:32 PM
Nah you understood I was wondering what you were using to build the game. Game maker 8 would be the "engine". I was just curious what you planned to use.

Oh :3 I always use game maker, I tried to use multimedia fusion one time, but there were so many options and I didn't know where to start
