Meh. I'm more of a 'the journey is more important than the destination' kind of guy.

Well, I more or less generally use Alucard in HD since he's the most fun in my opinion. So I'm not going around spamming anything other than Form of Mist.

Update:

Over the weekend I decided to officially add 4 more stages to the game. These will form path C through the castle and are super secret bonus stages packed with tons of delicious awesomeness. Added them to the first post.

Additionally I added some info on the various suits you'll be able to have Simon wear. They will all change Simon's sprite, and most of them change some aspect of his abilities. These will add a good deal of variety to the game.

Stay tuned for more!!! ^_____^

[julianbelmontxx1]

that sounds cool.
post some screens if you can

[Inccubus]

The new stages are secret. 
No pics until later. I'm wrapping up the graphics for stage 1, so I'll post those as soon as I'm done along with a new demo.

[Claimh Solais]

New demo, you say?

Think you might have a use for the Simon sprite sheet I made? ^.^

[Inccubus]

I'm thinking of using it as a base for some further modifications, yes. 

Update: Huzzah!! Got the animation for my drawbridge done! Now I just have to do the chains and the last of the graphics and 1-1 is finished except for the last of the parallax bugs.

Are we goin to get a preview of the animation?

[Inccubus]

I've been trying to make a video of it, but so far all the screen cap programs I've used suck. Any recommendations?

Update: Woot!!! Worked out the bugs in my parallax code! Sweet!
I'm noticing a trend in my coding of over complicating things needlessly. Seems that more often than not the solutions i come up with are simply to rewrite my code with an emphasis on minimalism. I should keep this in mind from now on.

Tried Fraps?

[Inccubus]

Tried Fraps?

Nope. I'll try it and report back. Thanks for the suggestion.

In the mean time here's a little something to tide you guys over:

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Do you get treasure by crouching there?

Fraps is good.  Hypercam3 is also good but puts a "Unregistered Hypercam" at the top left (but if you record the entire window, you can crop out that watermark by using Virtualdub, which IS free).

Actually, I think Virtualdub also does video/screen-capturing, but I've not used it for those purposes.

Treasure? Maybe.
I'll check those programs out too. hopefully one of them is light enough to work well with my old hardware.

Are you sure Hypercam doesn't only do that if you don't have the full version, Jorge? (that's assuming there's a demo/full version). Fraps will put "www.fraps.com" at the top of the screen if you're using the demo, and also limits you to .mpeg files that are up to 30 seconds long. Fraps also only records on certain programs. I dunno if it does it with things like Game Maker or MMF2. Usually if it doesn't record on a program, you might have to make it full screen.

If you're interested in Fraps, I have the full version of it, Inccubus.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Both Fraps and Hypercam will watermark (www.fraps.com at the top center, or 'unregistered hypercam' on the top left) with the free demo versions, yes.
(LOL I don't pay for those programs, I just find ways to circumvent the problem).

Hypercam has no limit on the length of the videos, and 'appears' to work with most captures.
