olaf Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) My IRC friend Thaddeus (famous for his NES ROM hacks, mostly) is working on a homebrew PC game heavily heavily heavily influenced by Castlevania and its later 2D tiles (like Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night). He has dubbed this new project: Vampiria. Here are some AMAZING mock-up (and barebones) screenshots of his artwork that will be later fitted into the (already programmed) game engine... You can view some more screenshots here, if you'd like. Edited February 7, 2007 by olaf
BlackKnight Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 That is some professional looking pixel art... just looking at it makes me wish it were going to be higher res. Just gorgeous. Well done to Thaddeus- Ill look forward to trying this out.
L.S.D Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Me too. A great demo for PC, if you ask me. Is there a sample for us to play?
olaf Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 As far as I know, he's not doing any demos -- only a final product.
L.S.D Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 So, when is your friend planning to release the final product?
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 This is simply SUPERB!!!! Awesome!!! I'm speechless hahaha!! Well done Thaddeus!! Well done!!! Can't wait!!! Although that picture with the hero walking down the stairs reminds me of Alucard's walking animation.
Shibathedog Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 ooh this does look really good. Let us know when the finished version is out!
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 For some reason I keep coming back to this thread. It's bugging me. I would really really like to know more about Vampiria so please keep us updated Olaf with every little detail. I can't wait! (my secret wish is for Vampiria to run on PSPs too, hahaha, but we know that's never gonna happen) Does he plan to make it available for download after it's finished?
Agozer Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Does he plan to make it available for download after it's finished?I sure hope so, provided that Konami doesn't step in an axe the project.
olaf Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 For those following along, Thaddeus has posted some samples of music in Vampiria on my forums. Below is what he had to say... Several tracks all put into one to give you an idea of what the game is sounding like so far. The MP3 was reduced to low quality 32 kbps.... The lead music composer for Vampiria is Brandyn H. Siegler (Efin).Click here to see his post over at Forum Panicus.
