Title: Soul Vampire
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on August 16, 2004, 08:54:13 PM
My new game, Soul Vampire, is about a half-Vampire who constantly has to eat souls to live. It's MUCH deeper than that, but I don't wanna give any details. A demo should be out soon. As of now, I have some screens.

Edit: Screens from the 1st post taken down due to organization problems. =\

From what I see in the screens.. Allen thinks they need some work. The rooms seem to bare end empty, and.. might just be me.. but the two houses on the top in the town looked.. err.. kinda flat.. for some reason.

The floor in third screen blinded me.. o_o


I think the idea of the game is.. interesting though..

That's not the whole town, just a small section of it. Also, the rooms have yet to be fully constructed. I'll update when I do finish some more.

I have a bit of a story now, here goes:

The main character, Eripmav needs souls to live. His only dream is to get rid of his curse and live a normal life. One day, his father shows up and tells him that the only way to rid himself of his curse is to take the soul of his brother. Eripmav's brother knows about this as well, and has sided with their father. Eripmav now has to not only steal his brother's soul, but personally take care of his father.

Socializing isn't a soul vampire's forte, but to enter his father's castle he needs an innocent female human. A special feature the game has is that which ever person you pick early on in the game, changes the ending. There are also "side quests" such as ruling the world, finding special items, finding out more about Eripmav's history, and more!

New Feature: The Charas PUB! A pub in a town with some of the charas gang in it where a side quest takes place!! And due to...er...recent events, a hand-made version of a certain "Member" *COUGHwahbaCOUGH* just my be there as well...

Also, here's a bit more storyline...

When Eripmav and his brother was young, their father left them to die. Almost 300 years later, they've survived, and their father returns to them with an offer: To become his underling in world domination. Eripmav's brother joins, but Eripmav dosen't. Now Eripmav hates both of them, and will eaisily feed on both of their souls...

Sounds like an awesome game! I'm lookikng foward to the demo :jumpin:
Title: Another update!! This one's more about the game play.
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on August 28, 2004, 08:39:53 PM
There won't be too many monsters, seeing as how you need Human souls for the most strength. Also, there MIGHT be a timer system that counts down and you have to absorb a certain amount of souls before it runs out or you die. This game plays more into the story than gameplay, but I'm trying to add a bunch of extra things and sidequests to make it better.

Damn it, not "cursed" cursed. The  unfortunatly survived form a race that needs souls and therefore they consider themselves cursed!

You still are an unoriginal ripoff.

Actually is sound like Soul Reaver and Castlvevania mixed.And you really need to finish on the houses and make them look better.

Post by: MrMister on August 29, 2004, 03:05:14 AM
Well the only element from Castlevania is the Belmonts being cursed

Hating his father and sounds like Symphony of the night.When you play Alucard.And Razeal form Soul Reaver considers himself cursed.

Post by: SaiKar on August 29, 2004, 03:18:40 AM
There are no original stories anymore. Ever. Oh well.

Your mapping skills do indeed need work.

Ah yes. The Castlevania games are really good for people who haven't read the fine piece of literature 'Dracula'. There should have been a game with Will going nutsy after being banished and changing his name to Alucard.
In the first game he stars in he looks like Count Von Count :D

Dude I know all about Vlad The Impaler.I was gust going by that game about the unorignality of this one.Plus the legend of Dracula has been changed so many times.Ever here of Hellsing it tossed around the legend a good bit.

The programming looks good, but yeah, you might want to work on your graphics as welll.

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on August 29, 2004, 03:24:49 PM
I am working on the mapping and stuff. The reason they dont look Vampire-ish is because Eripmav lives in the modern world, taking souls from humble folks. BTW, is it really possible to have an original idea anymore. Zombie Flowers chainsawing children for their lego's and strands of hair? That's probably taken, too.

Hellsing didn't focus at all on the legend, just on Dracula's son killing fake vampires. Dracula's legend was rattled around quite a bit in the Castlevania games, but nothing big.
Symphony of the Night wasn't really about Alucard hating his father though, it was him being a 'good' vampire and realizing his father is a threat to everyone. So, he has to destroy Castlevania.

WRONG

How about mutated cows that were abducted by aliens then brought to hell by a monkey and they need to bring their respect up to the great mouses on earth? Sounds original to me....

But anyway yeah it's pretty much like soul reaver...

And you might want to add a bit more detail into does maps....

It's original if your name is Zim, Rippy McOfferson
Title: MORE SCREENS!! DEMO SOON!!!
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on September 05, 2004, 12:25:32 AM
I have been working very hard on this game. The Demo will be short, like an introduction only extended. Here are the new screens. (I have yet to make my systems and I might change some chips.)

First Minister Hellsing is not aobut Dracula's son killing fake vampires.Arucard is Dracula you fool.I didn't say it focused on the legend i said it tossed it around and stayed away from the original legend.Read the manga and learna obut what your tlaking about.I didn't say symphony of the night was about Alucard hating his father either.And yes there are original stories all over the place.

What I meant was Alucard does hate his father but the GAME wasn't aobut him hating his father.
