Castlevania - Public Release v1.0

Maybe you remember the old topic, or maybe you don't. But it doesn't matter now

I found this lying around in my lost documents, so I said "eh, why not." I began work on it roughly a week ago, and from the old engine this is what I've managed to build.

Hey, if the old topic/engine don't make no justice before you download the actual thing, here's some screens:


Wow, a save station, mommy!

X - Switch whip
Q/A - Increase/Decrease magic

Rocks! Nothing more to say.
Didn't notice any glitches that would ruin gameplay, graphics are awesome and the sounds are nice too. Everything seems to work.
Only thing that bugs me is, that the bats are a bit too much following you. They should probably not stay inside of you so it's impossible for you to hit them with your whip.

This guy took the words right out of my mouth, even the ones about those pain in the arse bats.

Still though, this looks very promising. Good work.

Also, HAHAHA I WENT RIGHT WHEN YOU TOLD ME NOT TO.

I certainly thought more people would be interested in this

Me too... =(

For the record, I remember the old engine. And this is a big improvement. I liked it much, but there are things that need to be done yet!

Unless memory fails me, the bats in every 2d game to date fly in one direction. They swoop down and fly towards the player (ie left/right) and then keep going in that direction. These bats are killer bats.

The afterimage needs work. It's not a bar of color but rather the sprite of Juste (Soma, Alucard, etc). It's very easy to do, actually. So I guess you could take the object you're using now and just change things a little bit. Just do this where you create it:

It should work... I hope :x

It should work... I hope :x

I know but, I don't wanna have to redo every sprite ever

You don't need to.

image_blend is your friend.

no

draw_sprite_ext is my friend. :)

and in this one you use image blending =)

It's easier.

Uh....

Yeah, Vista indeed sucks.

This doesn't look like Vista to me, honestly.
Because it looks like XP and the game was made with GM7, thus works on Vista.
