    Hello everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I put it here because making games is my hobby, And I am currently making this game.

    I made this topic to show you all a demo of a Castlevania engine for my Fangame, called 'Castlevania: Moonshine of Memories'.

    I still haven't thought much of the story except that the game occurs after 'Richter Belmont' defeats Dracula in 'Castlevania: Dracula X/Vampire's Kiss'.
    If you have any ideas for the story, don't be shy, and suggest them here!

    Most of the sound effects are ripped from 'Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance', Music is from Castlevania: Dracula X/Vampire's Kiss, some Graphics are handmade, and some others are from various Castlevania games.

    Things that need to be implemented:
    -Story -Added (Unfinished)
    -Title Screen -Added (Unfinished)
    -Make Richter be able to crouch down
    -Add more sounds
    -Make Enemy system -Added (Need to add AI)
    -Make Level Up system -Added
    -Add different armors and items Richter can use -Added
    -Make real levels/maps
    -Make ingame menu to see char stats, etc. -Added
    -Add abilities -Added (Unfinished)
    -Fix all Bugs
    -Add Intro scene
    -Add different weapons
    -Change the ugly Stats/Items screen background

    ---

    Known Bugs:
    -By pressing Z and then X at the same time while at Stats/Items Screen you can jump higher
    -You can change direction while attacking with your whip -Fixed
    -You start off with 0/110 MP -Fixed
    -Vampire Killer disappears when you try to equip it -Fixed
    -Richter's animation turns weird when you do Mega-Jump while running
    -Sometimes Richter uses the wrong Jump animation

    Version 0.2:
    http://stickmalol.ueuo.com/Castlevania_MoMv.0.2.rar
    Filename: Castlevania_MoMv.0.2.rar
    Filesize: 4.16MB

    The name of the program I'm making it with is called Multimedia Fusion 2.
    It's quite easy to learn but it costs some money to buy it.
    Feel free to report any bugs, or suggest something to be added to the game.

    EDIT: Ooops, It seems I forgot to mention the keys.
    -Jump: Z
    -Attack(Normal): X
    -Knife Attack: Up + X
    In the next version:
    -Menu: Enter
    -Items: Z, while on Menu screen
    -Exit: Enter or X

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can put it there when I have more of the game done.

    I could change the sounds if I had a way to turn music on the SNES Emulator off.
    I'll have to rip them from the game, because I can't find them anywhere. Tried Google and a lot of sites and found nothing.

    Re: A Fangame in the works

    i am checking out your game Right now

    the sprite work its OK
    Richter moves is OK but is a bit buggy when use the VK and turn back
    i soupose you don't have levels Right now because i see no way to go further
    the background its pretty good
    the music its OK (but i still prefer the RoB version of divine bloodlines)

    the game needs much more (I guess that was obviously, and you already know) I hope you add the skills that Richter got in SotN

    by the way. keep progressing, I am sure that the game will be good

    Re: A Fangame in the works

    I haven't played SotN and probably won't because my comp is too slow for it. But I'll try to see his skills from YT videos. And, thanks for the VK attack bug.

    EDIT: Fixed VK Bug. Not uploading until noticeable changes are made.
    EDIT2: Right now I'm working on the ingame menu, with information about the char stats and soon I'll make it so you can change equipment and use items, like potions, food, etc.
    EDIT3: Basic menu stuff is finished, though I have to fix a lot of items stuff because its quite buggy.

    * Your main character must be a ham. Like, a ham that is cooked in an oven. A spiral ham, honey baked preferably. I know you're asking 'how does he use a whip?!' but this is because he has hands that float like Rayman. To walk, he also has Rayman style legs.

    * You can't have a game called Moonshine without being drunk. You must add a 'beer goggles' mode. Otherwise, you're severely doing the name a disfavor. Distort the screen, invert the controls, make the screen blurry, black, fuzzy, 20x more attractive... I don't care how you do it--it needs to be done.

    well there is no story of what happened to richter after SotN you can start from there

    Remember Richter got his mind controled by shaft there are two teories of what happened afer alucard defeat richter

    1. Richter becomes SS4 then go help alucard and defeat sahft ( but no dracula). you can put alucard as a playable character if you chose this one ... maybe)
    2. Richter was too exausted to continue since the battle vs alucard was too much for him so maria helps him and takes him to a sefe place. (you can say richter loses most of his powers if you choses this one)

    after that, the speculations are that richter go with his wife (Annete Renard/sister of Maria) and get a pasific life (too booring) but there was a proyect of a canceled game in wich the protagonist is richter son, but was remplaced for SotN... anyway you can asume that there is some "evil forces" in the human realm even after alucard defeat his father

    Well... what do you think?

    What about this?:

    '2 months have passed since Dracula was defeated in his own castle.


    Richter Belmont is looking at the sky, as the sun disappears he sees a familiar figure appear in the sky.
    The sky is slowly getting full of clouds, and a repugnant smell fills the air.

    Some minutes after, a huge earthquake hit the village, and thousands of monsters appeared.


    Richter managed to escape the village, a thick fog surrounds him as soon as he enters the forest. As Richter gets deeper into the forest, it gets harder to see.
    When he finally gets to the end of the way, the fog magically disappears, revealing the figure Richter saw in the village, Dracula's Castle appeared.

    Richter couldn't believe it. He went inside the castle to investigate...'

    -START of INTRO-
    *Richter goes inside the castle*
    *Alucard appears*
    -Richter: Alucard!
    -Richter: Where have you been?
    -Alucard: Long story, we must hurry if we want to survive.
    -Richter: Watch out!
    *Death appears in front of Richter and Alucard*
    -Alucard: Dammit!
    *Alucard breaks the floor with his sword*
    *Both Alucard and Richter fall into the pit*
    Later...
    *Richter is knocked out*
    *Richter wakes up*
    -Alucard: Good morning.
    -Richter: ...
    -Richter: What is this place?
    -Alucard: We are in the Castle's Dungeon. Dracula has been resurrected.
    -Richter: So soon?!
    -Alucard: Yes. I can't believe it either.
    -Alucard: I'll see you later. I am going to kill him. We have no time to waste.
    -Richter: Wait!
    *Alucard leaves the room*
    -Richter: ...
    *Richter leaves the room*
    -END of INTRO-

    EDIT: By request of Natewlie:
    -Richter: PENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS
    -Alucard: PENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS
    -Richter: PENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS?
    -Alucard: PENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS!
    Ok I hope you're happy now.

    the history got well to this point but you must know, if Dracula Resurrect this quick there must be something behind this.
    Maybe Dracula isn't completly resurrected to this point and he will need to take Alucard body (that would be damn kickass(for me)). after all, Alucard feared for long time to his cursed blood, but never say why. maybe is for this... what you think?

    Ohh I have an idea what if Dracula took Maria as a hostage and he plans to use her to get enough power to be completely resurrected?

    Ok, so here's the dialogue for the ending:
    *Richter enters the room where Dracula lies*
    Richter: Maria!
    *Maria is unconscious*
    Dracula: I see you came, at last.
    Richter: What did you do to Maria?!
    Dracula: Nothing yet. But as soon as I get rid of you, I will.
    Richter: You...!
    *Battle with Dracula starts*

    After Dracula battle:
    Richter: Go back to where you came from!
    Dracula: Hahahaha, you are funny, Belmont.
    Dracula: You still haven't seen my true power.
    *Battle with Dracula Second Form begins*

    After battle with Dracula Second Form:
    Richter: That's your true power? How sad.
    Dracula: I...I am not defeated yet.
    *Dracula starts transforming again*
    *Alucard appears and stabs him in the back with his sword*
    Dracula: NOOOOOO...!
    *Dracula disappears in a cloud of fire*
    Alucard: Are you okay?
    Richter: Yeah, I'm okay, but I'm not sure about Maria.
    Alucard: She's still breathing... she's just unconscious.
    Richter: Let's hurry out of here, this thing is going to fall down.
    *Alucard takes Maria and leaves the room*
    *Richter leaves the room*
    -END-
