Topic: Castlevania: Symphony of the night HACKED! I bet you thought I had quit? ;)

Good job there Esco! I loved the fact that you gave Richter a longer Vampirekiller and that you've kept the proper spike ball for it too. Well done! Although I might be nitpicking a bit, I thought that the whipdraw before the whip attack itself was inferior to what we see in the original SotN. I realize this is still only a demo but will the current whipdraw remain the same or do you have something better in mind?

Don't you want to answer this question, Esco?

[Donvermicelli]

maybe he hasn't read it yet.

I think you're better off reposting that on his blog along with an example of what would be better.

I don't want to make a wordpress account just to point out a minor thing.

I'll point it out here, the whip draw animation in this demo is way uglier and inferior than the one in your previous demo. It'll be better to use the old whip draw animation.

An update has been posted on the blog here: http://sotnhacked.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/progress-on-the-hack-12111-to-be-updated-frequently/

Also, to make everyone aware there is a bug reporting AND an artistic critiques/suggestion post placed up on the blog. Please be sure to read either one of them before using them, if you truly want to get a response. On that note, it SHOULD be possible to write me a comment without having a wordpress account. If it is not, make one, it takes 5 minutes. If you cannot take 5 minutes to make an account, I cannot take 5 minutes to speak with you. And this is NOT up for discussion.

While I appreciate everyone who likes my engine, and who takes the time to make a suggestion, I do not plan to reply to each and every one that I get. if I do not reply to a post on my blog, common sense should tell people to leave the subject alone. I post update info on 4-5 forums, and things are done in this fashion so that I do not miss anyone's questions/posts, and so that everyone gets a fair amount of attention from me and doesn't feel ignored. 

Although I tend to give the dungeon more attention than the other places because we have a lot of hardcore CV fans here, I do not intend to change the way I do things, just because some people feel they should be treated more special than everyone else. The only people who ever receive special treatment are the people who actually assist me and genuinely contribute. Those people genuinely deserve my thanks, and thus I give them it!   

For everyone else, yeah you might be a hardcore fan, and yeah I might even be cool with a good # of you. But that doesn't entitle you to be treated better or worse than anyone else here.

Regarding the account issue: You can use either a Facebook or Twitter account as an alternative, I think.

You should really just make a topic devoted to bug discussion and such.  Or an email. Its so much hassle just to make an account for something I'm never going to use again.

But hey, it's no skin off my back.

Exactly. I'd want to use my Facebook even less. Also don't have twitter, never will.

You don't have to create an account for simply sending a message. Just post as a guest, problem solved.

Still, that doesn't mean you need to create an account to post on wordpress. Esco has to setup the blog to allow that, like in this picture:

This way people will stop bitching about it. Then again, maybe they won't.

[Esco]

GEMINI: Thanks for the heads up, I actually thought I had it that way. It is changed now, however if I start receiving spam or trash left and right it will be changed back.  Which will probably end up happening (that is why I set it before).

People who do not get the hint, even when asked nicely

While I am getting a laugh out of the pointless debate going on in this thread, I think it has run it's course. If this continues, I will have to start using the ignore feature. And no, I will not be warning anyone again. I should at this point ask Jorge and see if he is willing to "prune" this thread; but I do not want to waste his time, and this is not a big deal overall.

Follow directions, or just don't post on my blog please. Simple.

Well that changes things then.

With everyone so focused on something that is absolutely trivial, I wonder if any of you actually managed to get the BEST possible rank in the intro stage yet?

 If someone thinks they have feel free to put up a pic proving it.

Sadly, neither CD10K nor the two wacky Russians hang around here.
