you didn't like my mega Frankenstein idea? *sniff*

nah, actually it's cool. Frankenstein with armor and a chainsaw actually feels pretty appropriate for an upgrade.

Actually I did like the idea, just not for Frankenstein, maybe Legion perhaps? I don't think I could actual use the idea though for a boss maybe a smaller character because of the spriting aspect of it. Frankenstein still needs some work done to it so it looks far different than its original source. I am currently still spriting Zombie Samus at the moment. As I mentioned in a previous post if anyone wishes to provide sprites or ideas please do so in this board. So far alot of people have come up with so great ideas for me to use! Thanks for everyone's input!

Well, frankenstein, no matter what you do with him, should never be agile. So, I like the idea of giving him a crap load of new armor upgrades, and maybe a lot more obscene muscle.

I think the hardest part of this mod is thinking of ideas for enemies and bosses yet still be original, familiar, and new at the same time. Well here are some of mine.

  Yeah, that's why my Rainbow mod took long time to progress. Most of the time is getting the ideas instead of scripting them.

 Hmmm... let's see, what about medusa head which shoots laser from her eye or missile from her mouth? battle chopper which drops skeleton soldiers? armor with jetpacks? skeleton formations (remember the cool soldier formations in Hardcorps?)?

I also decided to only have 5 stages with an alternate route hidden in all of them. So that makes the game 10 stages long (with the hidden routes.) I know 5 stages doesn't seem long, but the scale of the stages and the alternate hidden routes should make up for it!

 Watch the 100 levels limit per game mode!

 BTW, don't know why I'm itching to script something for this mod. I feel like I have to show something.

If you are interested in scripting for my mod, I would be happy to have you on board. I am still very new to BoR. Right now I am still in the process of just getting all the sprites done. But if you are serious and want to be able to get something out to show for regualar updates, hit me up on the PM and we can work something out. Let me get the first stage completely sprited 1st and then we can go from there.

Here is the official title: Castlevaina 20XX. Still working on tentative title. Maybe, "Recital Of Blood." Trying to incorporate Contra in the title somehow...

Contravania

Job done!  

[DarkWolve]

This I think is a good idea...I am interested on how it will turn out

[elliott20]

madusa that shoots lasers? sci-fi!

of course, when I thought medusa, I automatically was thinking about some kind of cthulu-esque reference...

[Jazari]

I must say the Idea is nice and I like the Zomibe Samus..lol Good work man, this is good stuff. can't wait to see how it all turns out.

[elliott20]

how about the bat boss that launches miniature robotic bats? and hell, even have the bat boss launch little missiles.

[Bloodbane]

 That's good idea elliott! That reminds me to golden bat from Super Castlevania.

 Oh yes, here are other ideas:
1. Mecha Giant Bat. At 1st it appears and fights like Giant Bat but once it's defeated once, it shed its skin and show its robot body! It resumes the battle with extra power and posibbly extra attacks.

2. Hidden turret door which reveals dragon skull instead. In some Contra series, you can find doors which hide turrets in them. In this mod, when it opens, dragon skull appears instead and shoots like turret.

3. Skull Tower which shoots rocket or laser instead of fireballs. I'm sure you know the static dragon skulls which appear in Castlevania series.

[elliott20]

I actually could imagine a lot of the turrets now instead of shooting small bullets or fireballs they shoot out a straight beam like the petrification trap in D&D shadow over mystara. of course, this makes these turrets probably quite a bit more dangerous...

 And I can imagine, instead of grenades, exploding skulls are thrown instead .

 BTW Darkman, I've just read this:

http://www.caskeys.com/arc/games/openbor/wiki/index.php?title=Cameratype

 and realized that you can maybe you should use it to make higher level. IOW there's no panel height limit.

Thank everyone for providing such great ideas! Hopefully I'll have some new stuff I can show real soon!

[Vyck_St.Judas]

sorry i took so long. ive been a bit busy. but hopefully you'll see what i mean as far as modernizing the character.

that, and everybody uses Richter as a base.
i figured something new might be cool too.
