new areas not in any castlevania games you like to see or old areas you really love to see again.
just wondering what ppl like the most i know alot of ppl like outside,i do too.
but i also wondering what other places that ppl like to see.
i think a winery would be cool where drac stores his wine.lol
castlevania 4 had a Treasury with alot of gold and chests that was very cool:)
-
i think a winery would be cool where drac stores his wine.lol
Didn't aos have that already? I thought under the dance hall there was a cellar with wines and stuff. :P
I'd like stages like castle courtyard or rooftops. So at least you wouldn't be constantly locked into rooms and corridors.
-
Curse of Darkness also had a wine cellar. Also, there might be another treasury stage in the works.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing some more forest levels in the same vein as Super Castlevania IV. Or maybe seeing the Tower of the Dolls return.
-
I would like maybe the 1999 game to combine each & every area in all the games to form 1 huge mega-castle. Of course, each area would look different from their previous incarnations but you get what I mean ;D
-
I always say this one when this type of topic arises: organic area. Something basically LIKE the Undead Parasite battle(LoI) and Legion battle(CoD; the whole way the path started to get "meaty" before the boss) and the one area portion in the Abyss in DoS. Something with meaty walls and veins. An area that looks like you are, basically, inside some giant monster. I always thought it would be interesting seeing how Castlevania, itself, is like a monster.

More European City-levels.
"13th Street" was a good start, but it needed more outside scenes.
My idea: characters pass by businesses where enemies come onto the street and attack you with Victorian era merchandise, crossing a river, and change the background accordingly to make it look like you're heading for that Westminster-like palace in the background.
-
An enormous luminescent cavern containing the ruins of an underground city, including a claustrophobic tunnel leading down to the boss's isolated chamber. Sort of like the Abandoned Mine and Catacomb from Symphony, but even creepier and more Lovecraftian.
-
Wow, these are actually some great stage ideas.
I'd like to see a villa or other structure that's right outside the castle, and slowly sinking into magma.
-
My idea for an area outside the castle is resurrecting the Pirate-ship like in CV3 and more in LoD. The whole concept hasn't been used enough in my opinion, the Sunken ship in Aria is barely a spoof.
But if they're gonna let you travel to Castlevania in a ship, do it right! Full with a port/dock area inside the Victorian-era / middle-age town taken over with skeletons (sailors? lol). And then you get on the ship and while traveling at sea have to clean it up from all those nasty creatures on board, and while you're at it, prevent it from sinking.
It's not original, but it's always fun.
-
Definetely some sort of Zombified Town stage, but as for something more original, I've always thouht it would be cool for one of the characters to actually have to go to Hell, similar to the Abyss in DoS, but you should actually have to fight Satan. Other than that, An armory where there are just tons of weapons and equipment for the taking would be nice. Then, the boss would be a ghost that possesses the weapons and you have to fight them.
-
Definetely some sort of Zombified Town stage,
Cordova Town??
But seriously, I really don't want to see anything brand new. I just want to see places done in 3-D. A huge cemetery, a massive woods, but most importantly I just want to see Castlevania itself made to look like a real castle but with all its famous areas: The Castle entrance (like in CV 1) the clock tower, the castle keep and throne room. Places like that only slightly twisted. Not like the infinate corridor or the castle keep with it's mile high spiral staircase in COD (although I still like that game)
I guess I would really be satisfied if they made an awesome 3-D version of the castle
-
Two Words:
Chaotic Playground (Nation of Fools..)
It's cool...unique...and epic...
-
-An old, musty attic/storeroom, with rickety floors, dilapodated stone walls and shattered windows. Think Castle Corridor from AoS, only... uh... higher :-\
-A more developed gallery, with more paintings and statues. The SOTN one felt too much like a church at times
-A satanic underground temple would be neat, with all sorts of runic symbols and such.
-Also, how about a Stable?
-
I want to see CoD's levels in a more detailed way.
And more chairs to sit on!! ;D
-
How about Dracula's bathroom?
-
Cordova Town??
Quite actually. But with building interiors.

I always loved the woods level in 3 where the owls come out of the background and attack you that was cool, it would be neat to see a 3d version of that level, COD sort of delivered but to be honest the woods looked really bland.
-
I've always thouht it would be cool for one of the characters to actually have to go to Hell, similar to the Abyss in DoS, but you should actually have to fight Satan.
I don't think Satan exists in the cv world. Dracula is pretty much the main evil entity. Unless there's a satan-like ghoul similar to Menace

i don't like you >:(
you thinking of two things i already planed to put in my game.lol
going to hell and fighting the devil :P
but i still have my own twist i plan to do with my game ;D
oh well it'll be awhile before i do it but heres a shot ver of my story line for my game.
cursed blood story will start out with the last lvl of castlevania 3 fighting drac with trevor and alucard.
alucard is turning into a full vampire and must kill drac to stop it.
well kill all three forums of drac then alucard go's into his long sleep and begins to dream,this is where the game starts off really
drac kidnaps ppl of the church one being lisa and one being darius belmont's/aka hanz, mom.
well drac falls for lisa and turns good and lets everyone go death don't like this so he kills darius mom and plaints the seed to of hate in him.
he see his mom took off to the castle then gets the vampire killer out of the church makes his way down the mountain thro the woods,court yard,castle entrance,the Prison only to see his mom killed and fights death and gets knocked out.
then about 10 years later we see lisa and kid alucard coming to the castle to see his dad.
well alucard has his sword training with olrox wile drac and lisa spend time together.
well darius belmont attacks the castle at this time with all the order of the church,and kills drac and takes lisa to be burned as a witch because they seen her helping the sick and she found in the castle.
well death tell olrox what happened and to keep alucard safe right before he dies but alucard want to save his mom so he fights and kills olrox and run thro the castle to the keep hoping to save his mom.
only to find everyone gone and see them racing away out a window,with lisa tied to a stake so he turns into a wolf and jumps out the window and races after them wile there shoting arrows at him.
(it'll be a very cool stage where you'll have to destroy there carts,horses and the ppl on them wile switching into bat or a wolf to avoid there attacks. i want to use geoffrey gunn sonata of ablessed child for the music for this stage)
well he kills all humans who get in his way until he finds darius and kills him.
only to be to late and have his mom stop him from saving her and killing the rest of them.
he gos to sleep for a few years only to be woke up by death who tell's him theres a mutiny and everyone in the castle is following this demon Galamoth.
(kid dracula retelling.lol)
they think drac has become weak because he turned good and they want a new big boss :P
so death wants you to stop this mutiny to stop them from stoping the return of your father and he must stay at the keep and stop them from entering.
(here i'll keep all of the castle from the other time being it part of the story,added the little part of the first lvl of kid drac,but none of the other lvls of kid drac.lol because this all takes place in the castle well mostly)
well he kills all kind of demons then ends Galamoth,drac comes back and he want all bad guys want thats right he cast this curse on the town that killed his beloved lisa.
and turns all the souls of the holy church town into his new castle there souls to be tormented forever and to be bound to him to surfer as partaker's of his curse.
well alucard can't stand this because it not what his mother wanted so he go's off to live in this other town years later.
this woman gets killed by demons of drac and she was nice to him and reminded him of his mother so he go's back to the castle to kill his father and another man go's to the castle to save his grandfather and sister sonia darius belmont JR.
but forgets everything when he see you his father's killer.
so as you go thro the castle and you have him trying to fight you many times and alucard won't kill him.
well drac controls him because of his hate even has him try to kill his family drac kills him and you save the grandfather and baby sonia after you kill drac.
well sonia falls in love with alucard after she grows up.
alucard denies it but he loves sonia too and they make love then drac comes back and alucard disappears and sonia go's after him you know castlevania legends story :P.
well she kills alucard and he go's to heaven see his mom finds out that drac is just a pawn and theres a bigger fish to fry.
she tell's him he has only a little time there because drac is going to bring him back,but he should go into hell and see a man name leon that know what he must do to end the evil.
well he takes the fall into hell and finds leon,leon tell's him that drac is just a pawn death tricked drac and him and is really the devil running things and God won't stop him because the whip the vampire killer and the crimson stone are mans tower of bablon,not trusting God but making ones own way save themself.
so the devil can do what he wants without God stoping him,so they must be destroyed.
but the vampire killer can only be killed when an evil belmont uses it.
well alucard comes back to life under dracs spell and has been turned into a full evil vampire,trevor beats him and alucard regains his mind and joins him to kill his father before the curse can never be redone.but before they get to far alucard is woke up by simon belmont and the dreams of the past ends.
a man that works for drac has took the vampire killer and took it to the castle and simon can't get into the castle without the power of the whip.
so alucard helps simon this happens after C2SQ they split up after simon gets his whip back simon go's after drac and alucard fights death.
this might be the end because of the jumping around it'll be long as hell aready :P
might take the story past Soma's time and even make what alucard was doing in aos part of my story who knows.lol
i got alot of stuff i could do but don't know well let me know what you think.lol
i know i really should write it out better and a more full story.
but i'll keep it for the game be cool ;D

I don't think Satan exists in the cv world. Dracula is pretty much the main evil entity. Unless there's a satan-like ghoul similar to Menace
I'm pretty sure Satan exists I just think dracula is like his main henchman like DV is to the emperor, and I don't think Satan can come into our world (god might get pissed) so he gets tepes to instead of his own freewill. In LOI as much as I don't really care for it,there is one thing I like about that game, how it makes references to the church and god and Mathias's little speech at the end about "revenge against god" I think he's hinting at the Satan connection. I also think that's why the Belmont's have such superhuman power, they are like god's henchman. And anyways you can't really kill satan, well mortal men can't at least it would probably take an angel or someone higher up then that in heaven to do it.
-
There is no Satan in the Castlevania universe. As made clear in games like Aria and Dawn, it's the Demon Lord who is considered to be God's opposite. And the Demon Lord is Dracula himself.
-
The Stable. I want to see that. And a Demon Carrage Horse or soemthig to be its boss, to boot.

;) Just kidding MGF! I actually like a lot of the ideas you have in there. When is your game coming out?
I'd love to see an area where you're very high up in a huge room of the castle. You'd be creeping along this ledge around the ceiling, swinging on chandeliers to get from one point to another, and all the while, you can SEE how high up you are. The ceilings would be very finely detailed and it would totally play on the whole fear of heights thing some folks have. It'd be designed to make your hands sweat!

They did have a stable in Castlevania IV at the end of the 1st level. But I agree, a demonic horse and coach a'la Devil May Cry 3 would be pretty awesome!

recently when I've been playing Castlevania IV, the swinging chandeliers area in stage six made me think of Hyrule Castle In Zelda: Twilight Princess, the atmosphere of that stage gave a since of haunting and desolateness.
howver, since their's no enemies, a stage like that wouldn't be good for a prolonged play.

But then the whole story in LOI doesn't make any sense though. :-\
How could Mathias a mortal man who chose evil be god's opposite?

Well, this isprobably just me, cuz I'm already thinking of it into my Fan Fic if I ever get around to writing more of it.
There is a Satan, but Dracula, after becoming a Vampire, usurped the throne of evil. So instead of "Satan" is a person, its a seat of power for teh forces of evil.

ah okay so your saying he may have killed satan and taken over the forces of hell? That sounds pretty cool.

Wow, your whole discussion connecting LoI to Dawn and AoS, has just opened up a big loophole of contridictory. lol. LoI clearly proves Satan's existence in the CV world, but DoS clearly states that Drac is the opposite of God, which in reality, and LoI, is Satan. So, those games, both being official, contridict each other. That means, something must have happened and here's my theory. Either Drac isn't the opposite of God, and Celia is just a Dumb-Dumb-Head, or, since her "perfect purity and perfect darkness = perfect God (or whatever it was)" didn't exactly work, THAT would show either option 1 (as stated above) OR neither God OR Satan exists :o.
-
If they were to do another Dracula-postmortem game, I'd like them to actually, you know, make areas that reflect a quasi-futuristic setting. The Lost Village in DoS was close (shit, at least they had CARS for once), and I'd like to see more outdoorsy detailed areas like it.

Uh, no. There's no mention of Satan in Lament or any other game (except for a small mistranslation in Aria).
But then the whole story in LOI doesn't make any sense though. :-\
How could Mathias a mortal man who chose evil be god's opposite?
Mathias used the Crimson Stone to absorb the soul of a powerful vampire and gain eternal life, against God's will that all life must eventually end, as Elisabetha's did. He then spent hundreds of years using the "power of dominance" to augment his dark powers with the souls of other demons, all while continuing to curse God, until he became fit for the title "Demon Lord."
This is all straight from the games.
-
Uh, no.

well i had alot of stuff done on it before my old pc crashed :'(
i did have a engine i had made but it was never used for cursed blood.
it was my old sotn DS engine and had a long way to go.
but i most of my edits sprites and backgrounds and the engine.
i still have the 1st ver of the engine i put up for download of sotn but it isn't really useful as the one i lost.
but instead of building the sotn ds engine up again i plan to use super vampire killer and go from there.
but time is the biggest thing with most ppl when it comes to making there games.
so i won't get your hopes up because i don't have alot of time and i just started working on it again lately,i was so down for losing all my stuff i gave up for a long time.
just now got to where i want to start over,but now i plan to keep back ups even tho this is a brand new pc unlike the old POS i had before.lol
still you can never be too careful trust me on this :-\
i was thinking i might even save up some money and hire someone to make me a engine a real pro.
because i'm not a programmer i just can do a few things with gamemaker :P
and if i did pay i could have things like sotn had and make it a better game.
but as for the game its all about sotn back story, taking as much as what we know about castlevanias past then filling in the holes.
if you look at my signature pic in the frame you'll see a sprite of kid alucard i made:P
and i made a cartoon sprite set of kid darius belmont these are a few things that i had saved at least ;D
and i like your fear of heights stage but sounds like it'd be hard to do in 2d.
like showing how high up you are and stuff :P
and sorry for the other topic i get a little out there when talking about sotn it's my love ;)
shit i think about my game all the time even tho i don't get to work on it much at all.lol
thats one reason i might just pay to get an engine.
oh well b cool

We need more outside of the castle areas period. Rivers, lakes, pirate ships, forests, towns, graveyards. More please!
