Topic: Castlevania Dawn of Symphony (NEW HACK!)

[theplottwist]

I have no critique beyond a single one: Please turn Shaft's walking animation into a floating orb or something similar.

Him turning into that EXTREMELLY SMALL sitting Shaft is too funny for me to not comment on.

Outstanding job, by the way.

Thanks, If I had more room I would do something different with it but sadly I do not, the space for the walking is very restricted as in small and fitting anything other than what I have would overlap with sprites, I may see what I can do or if I can have some sprites made specifically for that animation alone because the sprites I have for shaft right now are the ones from SOTN and we all know those do not have any walking animations, the him floating the way he is now is the best alternative I had and since it had to be a certain size to even fit within the constraints it required it to be shrunk.

well you can use the walk animation that he have in RoB or the other option its to make one XD.

Well the SOTN ones are not that much different from the ROB ones, neither have a real "walking animation" since all he does is just float in his ball when he moves.

UPDATE

Ok I'm here to let everyone know I'm finally done!

This will be the official hack release, some details about the hack are that there has been a lot of changes made to the hack to try to make this as much of a new experience for fans who have played Aria of Sorrow as possible.

1,New fanmade story that serves as a sequel to Symphony of the Night
2,New enemy stats increase to make the game harder (this plays into the narrative of the story)
3.New Item layouts throughout the castle
4.Returning characters from SOTN such as Richter,Alucard,Maria, Shaft, Succubus, and Dracula
5.Fan favorite music has been added to the game such as Bloody Tears, Wicked Child, Dracula's Castle,Nocturne,and many more
6.Palette changes to the UI and Shaft's shop
7.New weapons such as Dark Pain, Stellar Sword, and Laser Blade
8.New item stats and attributes for some weapons

In addition to the changes above I have also kept all the items and changes from my previous hacks.

Special thanks to caminopreacher for the big help with the story, enemy stat, and item hacking and to Julian/Jop for providing the Alucard sprites.

Congrats, I'm playing it right now and it's harder than before, thanks

I've already ripped the music via GBAMusRipper.  And I will say I assumed that it was mainly going to be remixes from SotN, but then it pulled music from Legacy of Darkness, Chronicles, and Ecclesia

Is the Skula soul part of the new item layout or actually missing?

Been changed, its not in the same place, you have to find it, takes some of my time but i found it.

Will go ahead and admit this much.

Skula is no longer being guarded by a boss encounter. All that needs to be done is finding the soul container that holds it. Good thing, too, because given what you have at this point, it'll be a long battle against the boss that normally guards it in vanilla AoS.

[aensland]

Thank you for the hint.

The location left me, like, dumb me, so simple yet well hidden.

I finished the game, here are my impressions.

(click to show/hide)

-I like this "don't touch the walking armours" game, silly bombers at clock tower killed me like, 3 times and all I did was touching them by mistake
-I feel the balance is still a bit off, some enemies plain kill you by touching them even if you're wearing a CON spec'd set while some bosses or other attacks are barely a threat
-Legion is a clear example of this, the corpses were hard hitters unlike the boss itself
-Alucart set is a wonder, specially for farming souls, handing it alongside the soul eater ring for free is a bit overkill imo
-Alucard Mail was a game breaker until I reached Richter, thanks for including it (?)
-The downmixes were 50/50, Nocturne and The Sinking Old Sanctuary were awesome, Bloody Tears and An Empty Tome were messy
-The plot was great, in paper and executed, bravo
-Thanks for the Alucard x Maria moments

Please note, I only converted the new tracks, rather than the untouched ones from Aria of Sorrow

Your link doesn't work, it says the key is wrong.

[Mysterii]

try pasting the Key after the URL.  I updated the post for such a thing to be possible.
