As you can see, it will be a crossover between Konami's famous franchise "Castlevania" and Hasbro's show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". Final logo and title may change, but one thing will remain: the Cutie Mark Crusaders are the main characters.
The game is still in the first stages of development, and I'm sorry to tell that I have nothing to show yet. But I suppose I can tell you some details.
-It will follow the path of 2D Castlevania games since "Symphony of the Night": you'll have to explore Dracula´s castle, going back over your steps often to discover new areas and rewards after you obtain new abilities. You'll gain experience from your defeated enemies, making you levelling up and thus rising your stats.
-The castle won't be the only place to explore.
-As I said earlier, you'll play as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They're similar to the Charlotte-Jonathan duo in "Portrait of Ruin": you can only control one of them at a time, and switch between them when you want. They share HP and MP, and each one has unique skills.
-There will be easter eggs and cameos from both sides.
-Your skills and powers won't be enough to finish your quest: you'll find some puzzles to solve.
That's all for know, folks. I'll update this each time I have something to say about the game and its development.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll do a great job, but you better be prepared for some hard work. I've warned you XD
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you can count on me. Whenever you need something I can help you with, just let me know ;)
Tell me. I'm still doing the necessary paperwork, and yet I can't stop shivering knowing what awaits for me XD
ReplyDeleteThe biggest problem I have is the disyuntive between using existing backgrounds and enemies or not. Why? The crusaders are way more colorful than Castlevania games, and using old stuff might clash with them.
Well, I strongly recommend to create new backgrounds according to the sprites you're going to use, but... that would also imply all-new enemy sprites :$
DeleteMixing different sprite styles in a game is just "meh" if you ask me... but you're the one that has to take that kind of decisions ^^U
Don't worry about that last problem. I'll probably stick to PoR or OoE sprites for normal enemies. However, I'll most likely grab bosses from GBA to now.
Deleteidk, this kind of decisions depend on how much people I'll be able to gather.
