Ok, Main Hall Progress.

As of right now I am using an inspired design by a guy named Kradakor from Deviant Art.
Attempting to find a way to contact him about using the style he created for his project is still in motion.
Speaking of contributors, I am going to put all the names in the credits at the end of the game. Got about 10 at the moment which is awesome!
So for the time being this is a beta of what I am aiming for but at least it will give the general idea of what it will look like once finished.

Also I wonder what those brand new stages will look like when you start working on them?

Dang Seph,these screenshots are looking more and more interesting,plus I think Alijibah will work as Stage 1 leading up to the Castle itself,keep up the great work,you and your team!  :thumbsup:
I would have to agree with this as rondo of blood/dracula x starts in Aljiba
also walking through the castle and then being teleported to Aljiba and then teleporting back makes no sense

I feel the same way!

And I am glad that you agree with me,the game should start in the town with it being on fire and attacked by Dracula's minions ala Rondo of Blood and making your way to stage 2 which is the starting point of the castle,right after dealing with Simon's spirit.

Some News

I may end up scrapping the town stage. I agree it doesn't fit however it's to late to make it stage 1. If I do that then all the stages have to be bumped up one and that would entail doing basically the entire game over.

I thought maybe trying the Marble Gallery or Outer Wall instead.
There was a doppelganger there as well, Actually that makes a little more sense since if you play as Alucard you would fight Alucard in the room where the doppelganger is found in SOTN.

I don't know, I have to do some thinking about this.   :thumbsup:

PS - No one worry, The project is still going well. Just busy (Christmas)  ::)

DavidtheIdeaMan

Heh heh I thought as much and I have to agree with you Seph maybe it's best to scrap the town area but seeing a returning area from SOTN got me interested,I choose the Marble Gallery because I love the theme in that area,I bet Optomon will do a awesome job on it,but since it is twelve areas of the Castle,we still need three stages left to make it fifteen,but we should focus on the Marble Gallery,I hope all of you guys have a great holiday this year! :)

Update time from my end.

Took me forever to get things smoothed out but now an 8-bit Minotaur is present in a Castlevania NES game  :P




Its nothing like of what you see in Rhondo of Blood, Dracula X or SotN so made do with what space was available on the Skull Knight.  Spent a lot of time making different walk cycles to see which would look good compared alongside the 16 bit versions.  Was originally going to stick with a sword but felt a short spear would make things different  :P

Waiting for input from Sephirous so I can design the doorway for the Minotaur to enter through and that's pretty much all before I pass it on to him :)

So now I am going back to the second and third forms of Dracula before moving onward with the bosses I picked to redo and the Richter entry/ending scene.  Cya all later on the next update.

Ooooooo,lovely looking Minotaur sprite,seriously I am aching to play this awesome looking mod,keep up the great work you guys! :D X3

The town art style clashed with your other art style. Also, your Maria really reminds me of Sonia.

Hope to see more progress on this rom hack soon,since the holidays are nearly over ^^; but still I just can't wait to play the hell out of this,it'll be one of the best mods since Chorus of Mysteries,four playable characters right at the start,different sub weapons and upgrade weapons,custom music & sprites plus everything else,true you guys have to ditch the RPG elements but I think that's alright with me,this game will be amazing once it's released! :)

That's because it is Sonia Belmont and not Maria Renard.  Sonia won't be in Cadence of Agony but only for my personal use in testing out sprites that I make for Sephirous to help finish his project.  I did state some time back that I was going to do this and since people didn't object towards it I went on ahead and continued to use her.  If this does begin to cause confusion I'd be more than happy to switch to Optomon's version of Richter to avoid such things :)



Update on my end.



Slight changes to Dracula's second form upon request of Sephirous.  He now has a brain  :P

Heh heh interesting update on Drac's second form but still after Seph has started and finished the Marble Gallery stage,he still has three stages left before finishing up the mod itself,such weapon upgrades to the other three characters,custom bosses and enemies,plus the sprites and music,but none the less,keep up the great work and Happy New Years!

MathUser2929

So how about a optional patch where Sonia replaces Trevor? As it's optional it can be considered non canon. I like the Sonia sprite.
