(As of now, the only other complete chapter is Mega Mechanical Mayehm, the chapter on the NES Mega Man games. And we have Revned to thank for doing the maps from the first four games. Well, II and III and most of Mega Man (I) and IV, anyway. And hasn't Revned also done the first Castlevania?
I guess those two series would fall under a possible Captain N sidekick recreation project as well...)
At the time, I didn't like Castlevania III's return to arcadey side-scrolling platform action (like the first) since by then I was already keen on more complex adventures like the less linear Castlevania II. But for a platform game, Castlevania III is pretty good. I like how there were other Belmonts (Trevor in this one), other vampire-hunting families (the Belnades) and trouble within Dracula's own family (the introduction of way-cool Alucard, despite the silly name and his silly look in this game) - it's like this game really expanded the Castlevania "universe". That makes this game wicked (in a good way). Can't wait to see it done!

Two can play at the thumbnail game, TerraEsperZ :)

But seriously, it looks great. Are you going to include hidden items in blocks too? Because I remember there being a Big Heart and a Pot Roast at the beginning of the last horizontal section on the left after climbing down the last stairs.

In other news, I finished another:
I know it's not great for the thumbnail, but does anyone have a problem with the black background I'm using? It's not the same color as the black in the stage itself, so it's easy enough to separate them if need be. I briefly considered an outline, but I've never really liked them.

This was more annoying than the previous stages. The second half has the rising water, so I had to use the level editor and change the palette afterwards, then add in all the candles. Also, I found that in the level editor it shows another row of tiles on the top that aren't visible in the game. These extra tiles fix the alignment in lots of places in the maps, so I'm going to be adding them in. The only things I think it will break are some of the staircases in the vertically scrolling sections, but they are few and far between.

Surprise! I also threw this together last week. It's the first stage from Kid Dracula, which is basically a super-short version of Dracula's Castle. Jon, consider this a formal submission. I know you'll read this, so there's no point in me emailing it too.

i had fun mapping that one as well.
Post by: Revned on October 14, 2006, 07:46:12 pm
I'm not going to post any more previews since I only have 5 levels left. I hope to be done by next weekend.
Post by: Revned on October 16, 2006, 03:09:38 pm
I've already decided to use my modified version, I just thought some of you might like to see it. I have two stages left to map, then I need to go back and fill in all the missing tiles in the first maps I made and the last few I've put together. Then I'll put some headers in, then send them off to Jon :)
Post by: TerraEsperZ on October 16, 2006, 03:15:54 pm
Needless to say, I'm eager to see the whole thing finished :)
