My CV2 Remake DEMO

I mentioned in SacredSorrows thread about his CV2 remake how Id like to see CV2 redone. That got me thinkin so I took my CVAdventure engine and a few days later I got this.

Its 8bit graphics but controls and play style is like the modern metroidvanias. All the systems from CV2 have been redone. The only real resemblance to the real CV2 on NES is the graphics and the maps.

This is a DEMO!! Dont expect a full game or for everything to work 100% Its only the town of Jova and its complete. All the interiors work etc. Day/Night is seamless nothin pauses the game not even merchants. Time doesnt stop indoors. You can buy stuff but it has no effect currently. Hearts are for subweapons strictly.

Its setup to be used in widescreen. It starts in fullscreen but it doesnt resize anything or change your resolution. In windowed mode its fully sizable etc. But it DOES retain the aspect ratio which is 16:9 so if your display isnt widescreen it might look funny in fullscreen but should be fine in windowed mode.

Controls:
Left/Right = Move
Down = Duck
Up = Interact. This includes npcs/signs/doors/everything that you can interact with
Shift = Whip/Confirm
Control = Jump Down+Jump fall thru jumpthru blocks
F1 = Toggle fullscreen - only works in the game not the title screen.
F12 = Take screenshot Dont recommend usin this. For some reason it doesnt capture every layer.

Everything else should be pretty self explanatory.

These screens are in fullsize this is the default resolution when not in fullscreen.







Nightfall


Darkest night. 10pm to 2am Probably gonna make enemies x3 as hard durin this time.


You can see the lantern lights at night... Not sure if I like the effect tho might remove it.

Get it here its about 3-4megs self contained exe

So anyway... Questions comments death threats etc? If you play it please say somethin dont just DL it and say 'blah blah blah rah rah rah' but not post a reply.

Wow, that looks really good!

You kinda used an element of Ocarina of time, that's really innovative. I hope my menu turns out as good as planned. This looks really promising!


This is my first attempt in gamemaker, so obviously I'm probably not gonna have a demo until I can get all the mechanics together.

Are you using gamemaker?

I've kinda revamped most of the towns to make them a little different looking but positioning is the same. I've been working on a few death sequences too.

I got it to work, the day to night transitions are really nice! If you could, I'd just have to alpha filter effect only the background, cause it gets hard to see.

Hell, I can't say anything.. I don't have a demo up yet. Once I get my engine together, it'll fall together a lot faster.

Ive kinda changed the background blending on my current version. Instead of the mountains fadin by the sky color they fade with the cloud/horizon color. Dunno if anyone noticed but if you go all the way to the top of jova and stand on the x2high sides you can see the horizon at the top. Its white and fades to black at night. The mountains now blend with it and the trees blend with the day/night color. It makes a hard shadow of the mountains against the night sky and the trees just barely visible in the darkness. I like the over all effect more. If night seems way too dark you either need to play in fullscreen or have a look at your monitors gamma/brightness cause I made just I didnt make it TOO dark.

My LCD is calibrated almost perfectly for gamma and stuff and its fine on my game

Whatd you do to get it to work btw?

70 views and only 2 real replies? One of which was to say it worked and nothin else...

I thought ppl WANTED fan games? I thought ppl wanted to PLAY fan games? Yet discussion threads draw more interest than an actual fuckin release of a playable demo.

Oh well I guess theres no point in continuin to work on it if no one cares enough to even play it /shrug

Im gonna have a boss in each that guards the relic no oak stakes or vendors in the mansions. Other than they wont change other than how I have to change em for the stairs to work

And the only DnD function you need is Execute Code... screw DnD its a waste of your time. Start doin GML and go from there... Itll take ya 4x as long to get anythin done in DnD
