Looks good for an alpha-build test.

The one thing about Legends that always bothered me was the length of Sonia's whip. It's too damned short. What was Konami thinking when they did that? In terms of play-style she's no different then Christopher. Both end up with the fire whip after getting all upgrades, but in Sonia's case they skipped one upgrade and just gave her two: short morning star, (forget the length upgrade), fire whip. There was no excuse for them to do that.

darkmanx_429@: Think you can what Konami didn't and Sonia some long overdue justice and giver her a Vampirekiller whip with proper length? 

Yes, it will be a proper length whip and I am debating if there will  be no "collectable" whip powerups that will force the player to constantly upgrade and downgrade their whip. I may leave it in though. It's a classic Vania troupe.

The fire whip ability will be in a form of a Hidden Relic and it won't be the only hidden relic that will give the player additional abilities.

UPDATE:

Character Highlights:

Double Tap in either direction to Run for short distances to cover more ground however you cannot jump during running. It also prevents spamming the run.

Stage Intro with character added.

By sitting idle with the character for a short while it will play a special idle animation and then reset.

Timer end enables death animation.

Looks good so far. Did you make the Sonia sprite or is it someone else's? It seems familiar for some reason.

That sprite was made by Serio and open-sourced back in the day.

Speaking of menu screens, will it feature full customize option for controller and keyboard?

I noticed the angle of knockdown motion is a bit unnatural. Is the knock down motion still in adjustment?

Everything is still in adjustment. It is only in Alpha.

I will start with a keyboard layout first and then see what is the best for controller options.

After a hiatus of literally years due to a career change, for the new year I been working on a remake of the 1997 Gameboy title in my spare time.

it is still in Alpha build, but the whole 1st stage mapped out in engine as well as various menu screens and title screen.

This game is going to be more of an arranged version of the original game with the player having the ability to find Hidden Relics that will unlock additional powers of Sonia Belmont to aid in her fight against evil.

While an action title this game will play akin more to the classic Metrovania exploration of the more recent Castlevania titles.

I am opening this thread for feedback, suggestions for improvements over the original title etc. I actually never played this one. I probably should do that. I have only been watching playthroughs.



Highlights:

Character Jump through platforms.

Small Heart = 1
Big Heart = 5
Queen Heart = 50
King Heart = 99

Large Meat = Large Life Refill
Sake = Medium Life Refill
Cheesecake = Small Life Refill

Spike damage to player with kickback

Holy Cross Pickup to inventory

Timer ends enables death

Can't believe I didn't realize this back in the Umbra thread, but the town of Iomi is absolutely a nod to Yomi from Simon's Quest isn't it? The last town (a lifeless one at that) you visit on your way to the castle ruins? Good on you guys for the reference.

That it is. Not only a nod, but the same town centuries later. Expect a few more nods like this.
