Every Dev Diary I watch I get more excited about the project, and in this video you've shown great progress with graphics, animation tweaks, and new enemies! Congratulations on your great endeavor!

It's amazing to see this teamwork progressing so much in so little time. The background colors are now beautiful, no more dull colors, the animation is so close to the original, and the sound effects even compressed sounds so good.

this is the coolest project. keep up the awesome work. we are all rooting for you.

Some nice improvements here, particularly that death animation :)

Dude the new is beautiful, good to know that you are mapping using this tile map tool, congrats for your hard work.

It's a crime that you don't have more views on your vids, this is absolutely amazing!!!!

Wonderful little update! Thank you!

This has been fun to watch the progress and how you go about things. Super interesting!

Breaking down all the details is wonderful to hear miss when video game developers cared about there games they make for a console but very excited it's well broken down for the Sega Genesis got my respect 👍

nice, youre getting to alchemy laboratory! im most excited about that area because it always felt the most like a classic castlevania/demon castle dracula level

The map editor looks very similar to the one we made in 1992 for our Megadrive games

This project just keeps on getting better.

Amazing as always! Edit: Oops, the comment I made before was completely wrong. Sorry everyone

Can't wait for this to be finished. SOTN is one of my favorite games and having it on Genesis would be just awesome.

This is the most beautiful and hype thing I've seen in a while!

Looks amazing as always really liked that zombie death animation, can’t wait to try this out. I also noticed alucards landing into idle animation was missing as well. I think once those animations are implemented he’ll be looking as smooth as the original.

Awesome I am stoked

Great video Pigsy Retro 👍

This is looking awesome! Great work.

I really love these updates and seeing the progress of the project. Keep up the great work!

Cadê os brasileiros tem algum por aí ?KKK olha mais falando sério o projeto e lindo demais ❤️ o Mega drive e realmente e atemporal

fantastic progress, especially on the zombie. this is looking more promising with every update.

Dude… this is awesome.

Es impresionante el trabajo que estas haciendo, la verdad está quedando espectacular!!!!

Awesome progress!

amazing work showww !!!!

I love this i am so excited for this

hi, i don't understand english very well, are you trying to develop a megadrive version of symphony of the night complete 🤩? I had downloaded the old demos of what you did really well done for the work … it's really very close to a PlayStation / saturn version, you really respected all the details of the original version

Cant wait to play it.

Wow it’s looking so good, I’m hyped for this game.

Awesome!

This is amazing!

Fair play if you pull this off!

I'm no Sega mega wizard, but I do know that both the primary and secondary sound chip of the mega drive have their own sample playback capabilities. Would it hell reduce the size of sound effects by splitting them among the two chips? One being the scream and the other being the repeated bleeding sound? Another idea would be having some parts of the sound be generated by one of the instrument channels instead. I'm pretty sure you could find ways to create approximations of either part of the sound effect, screams or bleeding, using the capabilities of both sound chips. This does beg the question of the number of sound effects the game is expecting to play back at once, as well as how many channels of both chips are going to be used for music playback. Hopefully these things can be divvied intelligently as to not step on each other's toes too much. The less the sound effects interrupts the music and vice versa, the better. Not all games can do this well, but I'm hoping that with a Castlevania game like this, where sound and music are very important, it can be done well enough.

Awesome 😍

Any ETA on when this project might be finished? This is shaping up to be something truly incredible!

Maybe you could regularly post updated builds for your Patreon subscribers.

I'm interested in this.

thank you

Would you be willing to release the base engine and code sans assets? My fantasy has always for someone to build a Symphony of the night style game on the Sega CD for some reason, and that gets pretty close to it.

Would you ever consider a Rondo of Blood port for the Sega/Mega CD? It is really a travesty that was never able to happen back in the day.

Amazing

Awesome 👍

Hello, I want to congratulate you for the work you are carrying out with this conversion of the mythical Dracula X. I have been following all the development since you started publishing it and I am greatly surprised by the progress and what you have achieved so far in MD. I hope you continue and I will be one of those who buy it if you finally release it in a physical version! In that sense, I would like to ask you a question based on what you see at minute 4:22, since precisely, I have bought cartridge games from current developers in MD and in some of them that "illegal instruction" screen appears when they are executed. What does this mean? Anyway, thank you very much and I'll follow you! Greetings from Argentina

Hi first to give credit this is amazing thank you I have one question... in what areas could this out shine the original?

This is looking amazing! But how do you manage to fit the game into a single MD cartridge? Won't the system have issues dealing with the ROM size? I bet is gonna be huge! And do you intend to make the whole game? Since you're working alone, It'll probably take a lot of time to do the whole thing. What do you think about it?

I love how everything looks; except...the blue outline on Alucard. Reminds me of the gameboy advance game. Just my opinion

Are you going to hardcode blood with every enemy sprite ? How about a blood particule system ?

You NEED to get Savaged Regime to work on the music too.

Perhaps try using fixed point calculations to update your animation timings rather than clamping to one sixtieth of a second.

What do you use to record stuff you're doing if you mind me asking?

It's cool that you got patreon, but wouldn't konami c&d your project for that?

if there was a french translation

tools! :) i am like make tools :) will be nice to make tool for making characters for MK3, but i have a little fail :)

any thoughts on a Sega CD port?

Whens it coming?

Inosuke

Traducción al español porfavor,

What is the name of this Tool?

What's the name of the tool? I'm interested on suporting the project :)

:)

Like number 666

How the shit do you expect to run this on a Genesis? Smart, smart dude if you do.

This might get a level or two done but to do the whole game is such a task plus all the l spells and the leveling system. Pretty fun proof of concept, but it’ll never be

I'm interested in this.
