This is a CV game that I just started working on that I based its story on my CV fanfic that I writing and created in Celebration of Castlevnia's 20th Anniverary. Right now, the only thing that I am working on is spriting the main character, using a recolored Soma sprite sheet as a base to match the picture bellow.

So far, I am still in the planning stages of what to put in the game, so here is a rough of what will, and maybe included along with a crappy character infromation for some of the characters in the story.

Characters

Atrum Vas ( AKA, Altair Cronqvist ):
Son of Mathias Cronqvist, he is the main character of this little fan game. When Mathias became Dracula, he used his powers to put his new born son into a deep, dreamless sleep and froze him in time to keep the illness he caught from his mother at bay. In 1450 AD, he was awoken by his half brother when he found a book that described how to cure the illness that took Elisabetha’s life long ago. All that was needed was Adrian’s blood, in turn, it would also turn the child into a immortal. Like Adrian, Atrum was raised by Lisa and took thought of her as his very own mother.

Leon Sin Vanguard:
Based off of Norse Myth, said to have been born from Odin’s flesh and blood. He appears as an enemy during the first part of the castle and battles Atrum twice, once top of the outer wall, and then for Dracula’s throne. ( I plan on making him playable )

Isabella: Atrum’s potential sire. She is a beautiful, yet powerful vampire that was born during the French Revolution. Her first appearance is in the Forest of Purgatorio during a werewolf attack.

Lucia: Atrum’s love. Her first appearance is in the Village of Vidar, her next appearance is in Dis, when he goes off to save her. She dies after murdering Julius Belmont in fear that he may go after Atrum, for her punishment, she is sent to the City of Dis.


Features

A combo system based upon what character you are using and weapon you have equipped, or if you have no weapon at all.

A Portrait of Ruin like party system.

Long, difficult boss battles.

A long, game that takes place in different time periods, with the ever changing castle.

Areas like villages, towns, dungeons, forests, and the many areas of Dante’s Inferno.

An ending system like that of Chrono Trigger’s.

A branching storyline.

Many unlockable characters like 8 bit Trevor, Richter ( the 18th century warrior style from SotN ) Leon ( IF I can make a suitable sprite for him ), Alucard, Genya Arikado, Eric Lecarde ( the Wind version if I can ), Pumpkin, Death ( Rondo of Blood ), and if I can figure out how, Karamusan from SotN.

Interesting idea but why would you want Malphas (Karasuman is Konami of America's dumbass name) to be palyable?

Because he was one of my favorite bosses in SotN, he just looked so awesome and powerful that I want to have him playable, even if he was weak in the game.

If you want to do something very long and difficult without the oportunity to save when you're out and about, be my guest.

In the game, the way Alucard and Arikado differ is that Arikado will be more of a spell caster and I am stripping Alucard of all of his spells but his transformations. He will be centered around using his family's sword and if I have the time, I will have finishers added to Alucard that he can only do on certain bosses, like if I wanted him to have the 7 slash combo thingy that Omega has on MMZ3, then he will only beable to do it on, lets say Balore, and Balore will have damage animations added for each slash.
Arikado wont have as much stuff added to him because I don't have much to work with on him. Most of his animations are standing ones.

AND YES JULIUS CAN DIE AND HE WILL ! AND JUST FOR THAT, SOMA GETS OFFED TOO !

As for Malphas, I think I am going to give him a bow and arrow as a weapon and make his game like a MMX one with the falcon armor, but he will be able to stay in flight for as long as he wants. He might have the Snipers of Goth as a summon.

And yes, I am writing stories for all of the characters in the game. They have to be doing something while this shit is happening don't they ?

Oh, and before I forget, if anyone knows of any song that you think will go good with this that is purely instrumental ( expecially if its metal ), tell me about it. And I also must request some Maria sprites from the Saturn version of SoTN.

Saddly, I wont be able to post anything up here for awhile b/c a lot of shit is going on. Right now, I almost have a working demo with a little Ever Gray playing in the back ground, the problem with it is that it freezes once you try to do the finisher on Dullahan (sp? ). I will try to update this as much as possible.
