Well i decided to put it up only for a couple of days... and since i never got any feedback or bug reports since the releases of the demos i decided to stop releasing any demos until the final release. I'll prolly make a movie trailer for those curious to see it in motion... but that's all.

Keep up the good work. Your mod looks incredible. I think a release candidate version is better to get bug reporting before the final version comes out. Perhaps people don't want to burn so many cds

I hope you can set a video demo soon to watch the game in action.

I finally got a chance to test out the last demo (March 02, 10:38 AM) on my computer. This mod really is coming along very nicely. You are doing a fantastic job.

Bug Report/Feedback - The only bug I have noticed so far is the fact that you can throw the skulls. I am not sure whether or not you meant for us to be able to grab and throw the skulls character or not. I think it is really cool that you can only hit them if you jump up, but I thought it was a little strange that you could grab onto them.

"Cerberus"/"This is the boss" is really a fantastic character, but I would set the difficulty on that character a lot higher. Even the level bosses in BOR usually seem to have two full bars of health. Obviously you know that there should be a lot more different enemies. I see in your post above that you are currently implementing a lot of new enemies. That should be cool.
I really like the fact that some of the zombies drop from the ceiling, but I think it would be really cool if you could find some way to make them rise from the floor or something instead, and have bats or spectors or skeletons or something drop from the ceiling (or even, if possible, add some platforms above your head for them to drop from). One of the recent Castlevania releases for the GBA (I can never remember which one I have) has bags of worms that drop from the ceiling.
The backgrounds look absolutely amazing, and the speed of the game is great. Richter is a fantastic player (I haven't really played with Alucard all that much). I am really enjoying this mod, so far, and look forward to seeing your progress (whether that is another demo release, or the finished product). Keep up the fantastic work.

I will definitely get this when the final version is released, i am not a demo type guy but
I am a castlevaina nut so I will just wait until the final version is released and then test
out the goodness, great job man.

Dude, why not try out some demos? That way you get the chance to say "Hey, this is cool. What would also be cool would be if you added ___." When a project is in the early stages, constructive feedback can have an impact on how the final turns out.

but ruins the surprise of playing the mod because you seen it almost completely every time !

that's why i will never try out demos !
except perhaps those who say DEMO, next release being the final and not having any other release between both versions !

don't know for that guy, but that's my reason not to download and try those... but from what you all says about it... no doubt that i will be surprised and will enjoy the play when the time comes !

*Update*

For those who wanted to have a glimpse of what the Castlevania is i just did a little movie trailer of it. Really quicly made but it gets the job done. I will try to get the owner of the website to post it in the news if possible. I only need to know where to upload it and we're set.

It's pretty dumb not to release demos for bug testing and or suggestions on ways to improve the games IMO.

VampiricS · Post by **VampiricS** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 2:09 am

It's pretty dumb not to release demos for bug testing and or suggestions on ways to improve the games IMO.

I did released demos of it actually... and on 15 persons who tried it i got like 2-3 of them giving bug report and suggestions... I will release demos but not as often as before. So there will be more to really try. So i guess that even the movie trailer i did is useless and dumb then... (haha)

Well for those who still care about it i'll put it online on the site if possible, and from my side i will focus on working on the mod instead. I'll have more time for it real soon, since i will be off from work for quite a while.

Here's the movie trailer for those interested :

to avoid monstrous skipping for that movie, please save target as on the link and watch it from your HD directly.

Looks awesome, is the animation as choppy as it looks or is that just at the rate u capture it?

I suggest to you to save target as on that link and watch it from your HD... it will be less choppy. And in game it's not choppy at all... but the way i did the movie... i had to play and screen capture like 200 frames by hand, so that explains the framerate loss.

Yea looks really cool.

DemoniusX · Post by **DemoniusX** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 5:18 pm

I would try the demo out but I just don't like unfinished games, now if I want to play the mod
wouldn't i have to redownload BOR? I have no clue about mods, never used them

oh well I like
finished games, it is just the guy I am, no offense to anyone I just like my stuffed finished
and those who want to play the game so badly they can have the demos, it is all good. the
ones that play the demo can point out the problems to make it better. I will enjoy the goodness
when the final release is released, I am pretty patient and with all the emus I have burned I can
wait.

That's why i release the demos to only a couple of my friends now, and no no need to re download BOR if you're using my release since it's for Dreamcast it's all included in the CD image, but you can watch the little movie trailer if you wanna have a glimpse of what it's like without playing it already

look forward to it, I seen the trailer I am really psyched about it! so summer is the release for
the final version eh? well I am stoked on it. i really look forward to it. Once again if my
last post offended you, I offer my sincere apology. keep up the fantastic work man!
