So, this is the reason I joined this forum: Castlevania: Sonnet of Souls.

My idea was to create an 8-bit game similar to Harmony of Despair, with faster-paced Metroidvania gameplay and multiple characters. The game will be programmed in Multimedia Fusion 2, and all 3 main departments (graphics, music, programming) will mainly be done by me. However, I am not a professional in any of the three, and the game is expected to be rather large, so it will require help from the cool, further-experienced people of this here dungeon.
NOTE: All will be credited in-game, and at the bottom of this post.
What can help:

Graphics: The game uses 8-bit NES graphics with smooth animation, with the pallete being here: http://bobrost.com/nes/files/NES_Palette.png (http://bobrost.com/nes/files/NES_Palette.png)
You can sign up for this category by either displaying previous 8-bit work, or creating custom sprites for the characters near the bottom of this post.
Music: The music is also strictly 8-bit, but VRC6 expansion is allowed. Use editors like Famitracker and LSDJ, but avoid ones like GXSCC.
Programming: As said before, this is programmed in MMF2Dev, so signing up will just be linking previous work. NOTE: I do not use Platform objects.

Planned Characters

Men/Women onboard

I hope this gets noticed, for this is the sole reason I signed up on this forum.  :)
More will be posted soon  ;D

Could you maybe show a bit of what you already have?

looking good there! Although just a suggestion, I'd make the whip the standard CV length as it appears to be on the short side. If your not sure about what I mean, I'll explain it this way; A full-length vampirekiller in the classic NES CV games are two and a half 16X16 pixel blocks long... actually I think I made this more confusing then helpful  ;D

Well noticed! The thing is, there's more whips that you can switch out. (The above is known as "Richter's Whip")

Interesting that you are not using PMO and using MMF2Dev. What exactly is the different from the Dev version of MMF2 and the regular? By the way, I am using regular for my fan-game.
