Jorge, I hope you don't mind me asking but I was wondering if you would be willing to help me set songs for stages when they are done. I just can't fit the perfect song for each stage and I would like an experienced second opinion.

I know I'm a few months late, but sure, I can help.

[Donvermicelli]

thanks, I just need to know what you need.
screenshots? walkthrough videos? or do you want to walk the stages yourself?
I can basicly send everything to you as long as you promise not to leak, I'll take your word for it.

Well its been a while and i've started updating using my directors level as a test level. I've been working on new enviroment effects, such as clouds and water, altho the more graphical i make it the bigger the cost such as lose of frame rate, altho that could be my vidoe card :p

first off is the emblem Serio provided kindly:


now the sky without any enviroment effects:


now with the moving clouds:


Among this i've also added seemless level music, where the song will play and loop seemlessly like the original game version (some may have a minor delay but its ahrdly noticable)

[Kale]

it looks beautiful.

[Omegasigma]

Altho it is a stage designed by the project director, myself, it might be present in the final game. but not the true finale level

[Aridale]

Looks good. If you want you can use the textures from my Hunters Moon mod I made for Oblivion. It has different wax/wan versions in the file and looks more like a CV moon than a normal moon.

I especially like this one:


Some great ambience there. One more thing it could use is some kind of carpet to cover the stairway like in sotn, as well as the bottom side of the stairs not to be so thin, clean cut and even, but rather more like sotn, with the bottom made out of uneven falling out bricks, sparsely covered with vines etc.

looking up (n64 style)

Dinning room

throne room, Chronicles/sotn style (some textures are from the n64)



Lastly the unused blood sky


also i'm thought about it loosely but haven;t done much for it yet but i have a sequel story in my head already

Looks tasty.

When can we see more videos at least?

[Omegasigma]

a few things here and there and i'll present a vid, in other news not only do i have a rough story outline for the sequel (if the games does well) i added the carpet as serio said, it was originally there but it ook it out before to adjust the stairs, and on another topic this game is more less gameplay driven, i'm going to focus if there is a sequel more on story and gameplay togather with

what you mean uncensored?

[Omegasigma]

typically the host will not allow any form of nudity, eg statues and carvings, however with some minor edits as in removal of some minor anatomy it should be ok, think (Jap version of cv4 to US ) however i don't wish to water any of the experience down so there may end up being two hosts for the game :p but in sotn i loved all the fine statue details present in the castle it gave off a sense of wealth and history of the building as well as in some castlevania games theres the paintings whihc could probuly be questionable to the site but i feele veryhting will be left intact in its original form

Censors need to get the stick outta their asses. If it's tasteful, leave it be.

[Darth Cariss]

Looks pretty good. I see your JA maps are improving quite a bit! Looks pretty much perfect. Reminds me of the old Castlevania mod I tried to do for that game. Ended up falling through.

[Omegasigma]

well in recent news we decided to have multiple paths as seen in castlevania 3 and rondo of blood, not to mention hidden paths weither or not whihc path you take effects to story is still in developement, however the false and true endings will return like most castlevnaias now

also is this more to Serio's liking?
