Will Richter's ROB outfit be selectable as in the Saturn version? (Up + select)

Up + Select? I thought that in order to play as Richter in his SotN outfit you needed to input 'DRACULAX' in the name menu.

You must be confusing me for someone else. I've never made such a thing.

EDIT: Also I don't remember who asked about Richter's portrait in the intro, but I managed to find one and tweak it in a way that I actually felt matches up with the other portraits pretty good:

Still not accurate, where's his headband?

How will you do the Japanese text in this? iirc Game Maker doesn't support Asian languages.

Well, in Rondo of Blood he looked like this:



So why not use this (which I just made ):


Or, if you really want that picture with an overuse of shoulder (and possibly a nasty stiff neck the next day for our Hero), you could use this (which I also just made):

LOL, that's some mad photoshop skillz you got there, Jorge! XD
Seriously though, the first one that you made is better than the second one IMO, though it could use a little bit more touching up.

Looks really cool!

@esco
you should use this portrait.

MUCH BETTER!!!! That is way nicer than what I had; I will be using that.  Thanks Jorge!!!;D

Read the FAQ on my blog.

So for the Japanese voiceover are you gonna use the original PSX translation, the PSP retranslation, or Gemini's fan translation (which is quite faithful to the original Japanese script)?

Nope. In NitM it was selecting Richter with Up + C.

An update has been placed up on the blog; this one is about damage and elemental damage calculations for enemies and the player. Check it out everyone! 

A special thanks goes out to Jorge for his assistance, and also to my VERY talented sprite artist for his continued help (you know who you are bro).

Cool stuff, but you should post screenshots and videos in an orgiastic manner. WE WANT THEM!

Lol bro, don't worry; I intend to put some up soon.  And hopefully a demo of it in the next 2 weeks to a month. Followed by the source a month after that, once I have corrected any bugs that are found.

An update has been put up on the blog! This one is a rather small update, with just some basic information. But it does point out something of importance: the fact that I have began working on Dracula's first form! 

Feel free to check it out peoples.
