Castlevania Remaster!

[Kamoe]

Hey there ppl! I was inactive for a VERY long time and a lot has happened. Some of you may remember the Castlevania topic. Well....yeah forget about it. I got the job, did the sprites, went under the NDA and...the whole thing got cancelled due to lack of Castlevania players ... Sprites(heets) now belong to Konami and I musn't release those.

[spoiler]

BUT I can do something new and awesome! I started to work on a re-imagined Castlevania game. This game goes through all of Belmont series in a timeline until Rondo of Blood:

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (NOT PLANNED)
Castlevania: The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

In general, this would be ONE game, containing all of these as DLC (free blabla). Every game is a "Metroidvania" and would take HUGE ammount of time to make. So don't expect any soon info about it.

The first game would be Draculas Curse (has a reason, not important atm)

[/spoiler]


So the boring part was told, lets do the cool stuff:

First game contains 4 main characters:

- Trevor Belmont
- Alucard
- Grant Danasty
- Sypha Belnades

The point is to completely re-imagine and rework the game. Still all of the content would be included and some new stuff would be added.

First I focus on the main characters.

Here I'll show you, pretty much how I came to Alucards look:


And bigger images of every character:

I do like the Lords of Shadows series, so I took an example on their character design. I'd like to see some replies on wether you like or do not like the sprite(s).

C+C on design choice and sprite itself. If you have any questions about my descision in the design, then simply ask me . Everything has a reason.

First I want to focus on the design, then I'll do the animation.

PS: Due to my job, I don't have much free time, so I'll be working pretty slow ...

oh yeah i remember this

btw i think you made a redesigned richter sprite so this might interest you


its a sprite that appears cut off but someone managed to extract it from the game's data

[Kamoe]

Yeah, I've seen this one. Kinda sad, that Richter itself had a different design ...

[TomGuycott]

I think Richter has a completely redesigned set of sprites for the Saturn version that coincides with his artwork. I know I've seen it, I forget where.

[Kamoe]

You probabbly mean this one http://spritedatabase.net/files/saturn/2...ontSAT.PNG but even this version is different :/.

while these sprites are really nicely done and i give great credit to the shadows on trevors sprite making the cloth folds look really 3d, alucard's sprite doesn't so much say "alucard" to me. if you gave him an open shirt and short hair it would bring to mind cornell more than anything.
it kind of goes back to my problem with david cox, infact!! those designs and the lords designs in particular aren't evocative of those characters at all, and trevors design here brings richter more to mind
