I use Pocket Dimensions for the Save Rooms and for the Warp Hallways.  Gives it a very Circle of the Moon look.

You can share some photos from these rooms or we gonna have to wait and play? (In my case I maybe cant even join to see lol)

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Umm... okay.
Now, I believe I already showed pics of the Villa earlier in this thread, and that hasn't really changed so no new pics.  Here are new pics of stuff:

1. I made a moat bridge that goes to the front entrance of the castle.  Kinda gives it a DraculaXX vibe:

After that, you reach the Castle Wall, which is from CV64.  Although it's not a perfect replica, you still have to hit switches and climb the two gatehouse towers to open the portcullises:

I don't have a picture of the original Castle Wall, but maybe this Youtube will help:
Lets Play Castlevania 64 - Pt.4: The Castle Wall
Of course, my towers are a lot smaller and cramped....

Once you make it past the Castle Wall, you reach the castle entrance.
Currently, this looks kind of like CV1, and kinda like Aria, since there are small areas around the courtyard where one can go and maybe I'll put a salesman there or something:

Now for the entrance hall/main hall/ballroom section:

Then the merman's lair:

Eventually one makes it to the Chapel, of which I used a CV1 - Stage 2 type of color:

There's a big statue in the middle of the prayer hall.  It's Medusa, but the layout of the room resembles SotN or Chronicles

Afterwards, you make it to the Servants' Quarters/Inner Chambers:

(click to show/hide)

When one reaches the roof of the Inner Quarters, one can actually look up and see the Throne Room, similar to the "Castle Keep" area in SotN, but it's really supposed to be more like something out of AoS:

This is followed by the big bridge that takes you to the back areas of the castle:

There are more stages but I don't have pictures of 'em, as I'm not too happy with what they look like yet.  But their buildings are already built.  Just a matter of laying out a path on their inside and decorating them, which I'm having problems with as I've not been feeling too creative lately.

I always look forward to new screens of your castle, Jorge.

also, hot link on link action.

...Inner Chambeers seems very fun right now eh? xD

Also, I really meant if you can show us this save and teleport rooms with the pocket portal thing. But these screens are amazing, it must have taken months to you do all this right?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Save Point looks like this:


You step on the button in the center to set your save point.
I may add an ender chest instead of a regular chest, so you can dump items in in order to recollect them should you die.
Save points will link together later on.

The south side of the castle (the back) looks like this:

Pretty cool, a ender chest can be better because this way its separate for every player.

I have one question. You choose to build Castlevania in a place with snow for a reason or its random?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

A few reasons:

-I chose the highest mountain somewhat-near the spawn point when the map generated.
-I wanted a Lords of Shadow feel as you try to approach the castle
-I wanted to have more wolves to fight in the vicinity.

[Lelygax]

I didnt know that wolves appeared more in snow biomes, also all the others reasons are insteresting. Im happy for making this question because now I know that its not just a coincidence but a very well thought thing.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

LOL there's a desert a few ways away from the castle.
If you ever log on, you'll start at the desert and you'll have to walk north to get to the southern part of the castle (but its entrance is really in the north).
Going northwest from the desert will take you to a plains area.

Yeah, I'd rather have Wolves than Sheep or Cows, plus the biome was more mountainous.  I wouldn't want Dracula's Castle in the desert, nor in the happy plains with cows randomly spawning (though Elephants sometimes spawn in the castle courtyards for some reason).
