Esco gives an update to his Castlevania SOTN remix project in Unity. Lots of new things to digest in this update.
-
So much work and passion was put into this! It looks amazing!
I am not sure about the air combos. It could turn out good!
I want to see if the game will be a SotN Hack as it is written or it will be like a complete NEW game.
I hope for a new game.
If not we have to wait for Umbra of Sorrow for new game :)
-
I see everyone's favourite nuyorican™ has done some neat shit since last year. Can't wait for that demo.

Actualy it's a game made in Unity, from scratch.
It used to be a hack of SotN about 10 years ago and there are still videos of that version of the hack.
Anyways, the name stuck when he moved it to Gamemaker and again when he moved it to Unity.

So the game is not going to be a better version of SotN with harder bosses and new movement engine? I know it is made from scratch but I was left with the impression that he will recreate the same Castle from SotN and only change it a little.
If that is NOT the case I will be very happy to play this masterpiece.
I only home Konami do not shut down such talents!
-
The man's got talent, but his attitude here was very questionable. I'm surprised he hasn't been incarcerated into a psychiatric ward yet with all that he said on this forum.

So I have missed something here? He did something bad in these forums?

That's what the original hack was intended to be. But now that it's a fangame and not a hack he's making a lot of changes. All four characters(standard 3+axe armor) will have their own collectable weapons, subweapons, familiars and stories, there'll be combos, stages as opposed to an interconected castle(but he did say something about exploration so I'm assuming it's going to be like Rondo with selectable levels), new second castle as opposed to inverted castle... So a lot of changes.

Could you elaborate? I know he used to argue and threaten a lot and once made a new account just to make one fuck you CVDF post but don't know too much about it otherwise.

This is exactly what he did before he was permanently banned as Esco. It escalated rather quickly too. He seemed fine even while he was first doing his SotN remake project here. But just a few days before he was banned his attitude took a serious nosedive. I honestly don't know what triggered it. He might have become to self-absorbed in his own ego. In my opinion he needs "help".

better be careful there what you say about the new yorikan 4 life x
you and i both know face to face irl you'd be dead silent, especially with how fem you look, ta ta sweetie

depends, does throwing the exact wording i said just above this at jorge as well as threats of violence irl because jorge was doing his job and shutting his stupid shit down qualify as bad?
[THE UPDATE ITSELF]
oh boy alucard megaman zero, just what i always wanted
(it's actually not bad at all, but it IS just alucard handling like zero from X6 or any of the Z/ZX games--and frankly i stopped giving a shit about this project after he showed his ass as hard as he did the last time he got permabanned so unless he's calmed his tits and grown the fuck up a bit as nice as it might be i still can't entirely bring myself to care much)
-
Sorry D9 but your post just doesn't make sense :-\

makes complete sense if you were around for esco's last coup de grace
-
Still dunno if that's good or bad, sorry.
-
He just keeps thinking of more and more stuff to add without ever giving a release date even for a simple demo.
I'm pretty sure this is never going to be finished.
-
I don't know anything about the guy personally, but the direction he's taking the game is very interesting. I've always felt like the Megaman Zero games pretty much nailed the fast-paced gameplay and I've personally always wanted to see similar game mechanics adopted in the Castlevania universe, so I'm very impressed. There aren't many CV fangames around these days, but the ones that I know of that are still in development all look very high quality.
-
Any critiques on the new animations?
-
I can confirm first-hand, 16:9 confirmed.
-
Very nice sprite-work. Shame about the personality, though. Has he done anything involving the demon form Alucard rarely takes when he's petrified?
-
Any critiques on the new animations?
nope, excellent work as usual
just because i have some gripes with the lead dude doesn't mean the talent of his teammates should go discredited or ignored
-
pretty much it.
But i'm very worried about a patreon idea said in the video, everybody knows that trying to start a patreon usind a IP of a big company like konami is much like trying to catch a shark with bare hands :D

Bingo.

He's not worried about it in the slightest.

Good talk.

Esco worries about nothing. His ego gets in the way of him seeing any possibility of failure.

What he is worried about is of very little consequence to Konami.
Fact is the guy is talented and I love his work, but objectively speaking as someone who saw his attitude before he got banned he became a egomaniac which was sad to see as a fan of his.
The thing is whether he is worried about it or not does not change the fact that asking for money for a modified version of a established IP is VERY risky and he has a very high chance of getting his project shut down, he reasoning behind it is that he has put so much time and money in it himself that he feels its only right that he get some help from his fans when really Konami isn't going to care less about that since they themselves did not ask him to put his money and time into their IP to turn around and get money for it later. As a actual fan of the project I would love to see it finally make its way to the fans but given his previous attitude and reluctance to even give a estimated release date or at the very least a small demo to his fan AND him asking for money leads me to believe that he will either a.Just choose to never release it for "whatever" reason or b.Konami sends him a cease and desist because he is asking for money although fingers crossed I'm hoping we get option c.which is sometime before we die of old age we get to play this game or at the very lease a demo lol.
EDIT
A good recent example of Ego over logic when it comes to this kind of thing is Soulja Boy who recently released a video game console which featured a emulator with 1000s of games from different publishers and sold it for a profit and claimed he would never get in any trouble because what he was doing for legit, even had the nerve to talk smack to Nintendo directly and say they would do nothing, recently its come out that Nintendo DID do something andhe immediately pulled all his consoles down and had to give a refund to people who hadn't gotten their yet lol, hopefully the same doesn't happen here but when you get money involved with established and owned IPs than there is obviously always that high chance and to ignore it would be foolish.
-
Any critiques on the new animations?
Your new Alucard animations are pretty much perfect.
The only exception is the new running animation, it looks kinda like he's trying to lower his head to dodge something or to crawl into a place with low ceiling.
Also your Richter's head seems kinda too big.

Top tier sprite work Mead!

True to his word, Esco has opened up a patreon for his future work.
https://www.patreon.com/sotnhacked (https://www.patreon.com/sotnhacked)
-
I believe that his work have everything to be awesome, and could be a huge waste to both the team and (most important) the Fans that are rooting and have cooperated with the project to see it alive.
So I'm still pretty worried about the patreon stuff...and if Konami shut down his project, maybe it could offer a risk to other developers that are developing awesome projects without any personal gain?
Edit: seems that the patreon until now is not that "blatant" enought to call the attention of konami, at least by the title... (oof!) all the luck to the project!

Hey all! I decided to dedicate a little time and my experience of setting up forums to help the SotN Hacked project. Check it out:
https://sotnhacked.freeforums.net (https://sotnhacked.freeforums.net)
SotN Hacked is a game engine being written by Esco, and will use existing and new resources to recreate and expand upon Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
I love supporting the fan community, and I hope this project will extend the love of SotN to new people and inspire collaboration and creativity.

I don't know the head guy personally, but a lot of what's been shown off on the project is pretty cool. The whole project sounds pretty ambitious though from what he said in the video, and it also seems pretty early on in development.
-
You're right, but this project is very old, the guy took most of the time figuring how to develop the damn thing, modding the game's iso, before developing engines until changing it to unity, I can bet that this project is somewhat 10yr old or more (I've followed this thing for about 8 years) :D
-
I know its a very old but I really hope it not will be cancel plzzz dont and will relase a demo so we can try it out this wmaybe be my dream CV game who knows yes this fan-game is over 8 years old sick timeline this have. :rollseyes:
-
Yup, he's still going, and he's hit 50 total patreons now. Mostly doing audio only stuff for normal updates but patreon has more specific things such as new animations for enemies.

Yeah, I think that sums up Esco's situation quite accurately.

I wonder if I should try Patreon with my game. It would be awesome to get money to hire composer for soundtrack.
-
Should be okay if it's an entirely original IP.
