Topic: Castlevania Chronicles - Dracula's Curse

Started working on a new Alucard sprite, wasn't totally sure on how to go about it without making it a clone of the SOTN sprite so I decided to go with the older concept art: red cape and black hair.

Made a slight update:

Hey guys, this is also on the music showcase thread, but since it belongs to this game, it should belong here as well i took a break from the coding and remastered mad forest pt2's track.  Here it is:

hope you guys dig it

I'm diggin' it! Even though it's heavy on the rock, you've kept that in the background while preserving the main theme of the tune itself and have not drowned it out. Very few CV rock remixes do that. Bravo!

Thanks X!  You're in for a treat then dude, because im remastering the entire OST and that's the pace that the rest of it has.  Granted, there are a few songs that need more rock, less atmosphere and vice verse, but i've narrowed it down and i think my mixes are starting to sound like they are geared more towards something you'd hear from Yamanae now

Well, i completely forgot about a different orchestra plugin I had, so......i HAD to do this, this song is definitely tied for my favorite CV track alongside Simon's Theme:

This is the track from Lords of Shadow when you fight the ogre in the mountains and the mechanical scorpion in the tower.  God i love this song lol, it's very movie-heroic and it stuck in my head ever since i played LoS.  This is going entirely off of memory of the song, sounds pretty damn close to me.  So with this said lol, i'll be using my older orchestra setup and this one as well to make the OST even better!

Hahaha, thanks man!  I'm working on the "last" song part now (you know which part eryson, at the VERY end boss fight when you are winning) that is going to be beyond epic if i get it right!

[BMC_War Machine]

Ok guys, here's a preview of the "final" theme    Im starting to get a little more hang of different ways to accent these different orchestra instruments now lol.  There's still more i have to add to it but overall im pretty pleased with how it is so far   This is the track "Reaver" from LoS - MoF.  It sound a little harsh at times due to the compression (you'll hear a few pops and clicks in there, i forgot to turn the limiter off  )

Hope you guys enjoy  I really get the feeling that the atmosphere of the OST is going to get darker now with this new setup, in the same vein as Castlevania IV 

EDIT: you'll hear the windows trumpet sound in there at around 26 seconds lmao i think i unplugged my phone while it was recording the finished track  haha

[FanOfDracula]

hey good sound man!! excellent orchestral sound  ... although i don't know a lot of orchestras xD

[BMC_War Machine]

Haha thanks man, if it makes you feel any better I dont know anything about orchestra either lmao, im just able to make stuff with a decent ear for music 

[BLOOD MONKEY]

Damn, that just blew my mind. I know you want the game to sound eerie and all, but I suggest a faster tempo (considering this will be a faster paced CV game).
