I thought the Underground Caverns from SotN were a throwback to the caves of CV1, VK and X68.

They are, but I'm not using the layout from SotN. Incidentally, almost all the stages from SotN are throwbacks to earlier concepts just with mostly interesting new takes on old ideas.

Thanks. I'm gonna set it up like in Dracula X where when you press pause it switches the HUD to show lives & score.
I already have a plan for the drawbridge feeling heavy. I'm not feeling the water on this one. I'll see though, I could always rationalize it and change my mind. ^___^

No biggie dude, just an idea to play around with. Is this going to be a remake or are you going to have your own original levels and such?

[Inccubus]

My main concept for this game is a massive remake of Castlevania 1 that includes all the stages from all the remakes of CV1 (sans outdoor areas) mashed together into the ultimate nostalgia-fest with a health sprinkling of new content to go with it. Check out the first post for all the details. The layouts of stages 1 & 2 are a good example of what I'm trying to accomplish here.

Are you going to make those map screens you made accessible in-game similar to SOTN?

[Inccubus]

I have been thinking about doing something like that since the MSX version of cv1 had map items you could find that let you bring up the map for the current stage. If I do it it'll be more or less like SotN.

Alright. Here's another demo for you guys to check out:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/k4a9tm5vdea44eh/CV-tDC_alpha_v0.005.exe

Changes:
-Most up-to-date graphics.
-Some tweaks to Belmont's physics.
-There's a pesky pair of blocks on the first screen for testing purposes.
-And last, but not least, the completed drawbridge animation.

Hope you guys enjoy it.
Next on the itinerary is the last of the tiles for stage 1-1's bg.
As well as the drawbridge chains and the actual enemies.

You still 'die' if you walk left of the start.
I keep doing that for some reason.

Also, jumping those two blocks when you're, say, 4-8 pixels away makes Trevor jump straight up and then around.  Not particularly bad, but it looks weird, as if there was an invisible 4-8-pixel wall padding those blocks.

[Inccubus]

Thanks for reminding me about the lack of screen boundaries. I keep forgetting to adjust that.
I know about the wierd collision when jumping. That' why those blocks are there. I'm in the process of debugging parts of TheouAegis' engine right now. Let me know if you find anything else. Oh, and I am aware that there's some wierdness with falling off ledges.

I get an error that says "OpenAL34.dll is missing" and can't open?

[Aridale]

I had no music in this version also do you have treat uninitialized variables as 0 checked? cause I get this over and over in a game_errors log

ERROR in

for object debug:

Might be your directX isn't updated or something. What I do in these cases, though, is just download said .dll file and through it in the same folder as the .exe I'm trying to run.

Hmmm... I thought I had caught those loose variables. Oh well, thanks for mentioning it. As for the music, I have it set not to start automatically, so just press 1 to load "In the Castle" or 2 to load "Vampire Killer".

Thanks, worked perfectly.

No problem, dude! ^___^
