Hey guys, for those who are fans of my last Future Alucard hack you probably saw one of my videos where I gave a preview of the a SOTN related Alucard hack, this hack will be titled Castlevania Dawn of Symphony, it will serve as a direct sequel to Castlevania Symphony of the night and will feature many returning elements as well as characters from SOTN. The story was really done in a very convincing way and I feel fans will have fun uncovering the many references within the story to SOTN as well as how the events of this game ties into SOTN as a sequel to it. Returning characters from SOTN include Alucard Shaft Richter Belmont Maria Dracula Succubus Special thanks to Jop/Julian for the new Alucard sprites and Caminopreacher for the new story. Here are some images of the hack, I will upload a gameplay video later which will show the hack in action as well as give a glimpse at the new story. Images        |

wow. everything seems just a little too relaxed with the story . besides that, will any of your hachs actually include ghameplay balancing? What do you mean by "to relaxed"? Care to elaborate a bit? Also, as far as gameplay balancing goes that would require extensive knowledge of the game code itself, that is some advanced hacking right there that few possess, in fact I have not seen any AOS hacks that changes the core gameplay itself since that would require tools and knowledge that is not just out there on the web, the closest thing I have seen is Tonyjih adding new gameplay modes for separate characters and even with that does not change the core gamplay itself but merely builds on top of it. Long story short do not expect me to be rewriting the gamecode itself to add new gameplay mechanics and difficulty since that is out of my range of expertise sadly, these hacks are a way to bring some replayability to a great game by adding new character,souls,and weapon sprites and story elements. One thing I would love to do is add new music however, I may talk to Tonyjh about that one to see if he is willing to help. |

Noooo the endiing! Oh well, looks finished to me! Yea I know it looks done but sadly there is still much to do lol, I still have some of Alucard sprites to add such as his sliding down sideways and large weapons animations, I also have to finish adding the rest of the sprites for other characters since so far I only have their base sprites replaced and none of their actual moving sprites, then I still have to work on Dracula and Richter's battle sprites and then work on the weapons since for some odd reason AOS has a weird mechanic where the arm is actually attached to the larger weapons with it own palette and look, i have to go through all the weapons and get their palettes and then edit the arms to match Alucard's. Still much to be done lol. |

relaxed by alucard working with the forces of darkness, but after seeing the demo vid it is certainly possible. I had assumed you knew how to modify values for stats and such, I fel you are overpowered in castlevania games as it is without adding.... alucards greatness into the mix.

I had assumed you knew how to modify values for stats and such, I fel you are overpowered in castlevania games as it is without adding.... alucards greatness into the mix. Yea as you can see in the vid its more of a "temporary truce" against a common enemy (the common enemy is revealed later in the game), Dracula still has his hatred for humans and for Richter/Belmont clan so Alucard would never join him fully because of that and Dracula would only work with Alucard because its his son and would still try to kill Richter. And I wish I could edit values to make the game harder but I just do not know how, if you know anywhere or anyone I can learn it from please point me in their direction since I would love to learn if possible, I'm still trying to get the hang of music hacking myself and trying to find someone to teach me that. |

This hack is intended as a sequel, eh?
I wonder how it will fit between SotN and the "Nocturne of Recollection" radio-drama? (Featuring Lyudmil, Alucard's former servant, who helps him fight against Magnus, an incubus servant of Dracula.)

im not part of it, but the Zelda community has been hacking forever. basically, you find values in the ram of what you want to change, and then trace it back to where it is in the rom. change the value in the rom, and viola |

DarkPrinceAlucard Looks like a fun hack. Is Death in the cast? I don't see a Castlevania game without him. Then again, maybe he got annoyed enough he ambitioned to be the final boss and succeeded.

Thanks, yea I was not able to add him to the cast sorry lol, I wanted to but there is only a short list of replaceable characters and he did not make the cut lol, I may add him to the cast of one of my future hack releases since I always disliked that he had no speaking role within the Sorrow series of games. Ok here is a new gameplay video showcasing the changes made to the running and double jump, it also shows a bit more of the new story as well as shaft's new shop design, A heads up that I plan on having new item layouts as well as new difficulty to make the game standout even more and this will be thanks to caminopreacher who will assist me, enjoy the video. |

Nice! I saw no running action, though.
Shaft as the merchant... That is quite amusing. *Approved*
That said, if you keep the enemies lineup as is, Death will end being an enemy (boss) still.
Keep up the good work! It's really promising so far.

. besides that, will any of your hachs actually include ghameplay balancing?
