Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (WIP) - progress of Stage 1

[@Pixel_Crusher]

Man, the Mega Drive/Genesis homebrew scene is absolutely killing it!

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

SEGA should release the Genesis again

[@identitatemignotum3238]

​@@PsychomachineryEBMIndeed 😊

[@shannonbirt9267]

Great work !! Color cycling and silhouette effects are looking great 👍 I'm.hoping this one goes the full way , keep it up !

[@sebastiann.8088]

I feel like it should have released back in the day for the Sega CD as well. Sega CD already had some ports of PC Engine CD titles like Lords of Thunder, this would have been perfect to port to Sega CD

[@extrez]

it probably would've sold even slightly more units if this existed on it too

[@earlduran6419]

I mean if Konami can port Snatcher to the Sega CD, why not just port Rondo of Blood to the Sega CD? Granted, back then game companies naturally didn't make the best decisions in the 80's to 90's.

[@gangsterbksteeo2323]

nice work bro(sountrack,sprites,effects)by génesis is awesome,continuidad WOOORK

[@WWammyy]

Love the Mega Drive rendition of the Castlevania music

[@rafaelantonio6765]

sparkster sound better on genesis

[@Dirk1Steele]

Awesome. Never been a better time to be a MD fan. Keep up the great work.

[@Luke-gu2tw]

Wow, looking really good. You've made great progress with your project.

[@rual9822]

No way we are getting a sotn demake for the Genesis and now this! I hope everything goes well for both projects

[@st1ka]

Damn I love this

[@raycastello2532]

I loved the secret path that leads to the Sega Saturn suit. You are a very talented guy

[@DamienNightmarish]

Is that possible on PC-Engine?

[@rafaelantonio6765]

@@DamienNightmarish yes with improved sound

[@DamienNightmarish]

@@rafaelantonio6765 I was talking about the wall secret.

[@weerbox]

No, there is no such trick in the original game.

[@MasterLinkuei]

Great job!!!

[@48hourrecordsteam45]

😡 mortal Kombat 2 arcade edition mister .!!! 😂 Great work on fatal fury real bout 👏🏽 👏🏽 You’ll are doing greatly amazing work .!! You seem earthian & the resident evil and street fighter alpha games

[@hopetagulos]

Impressive.... I saw the other videos: beautiful adaptations from one hardware to another, and improvement of the recipient hardware in terms of port.

[@dellagustin]

Great to hear about this project. The graphics are not so surprising as the Mega Drive was already more powerful graphically, but this rendition of the soundtrack is really amazing.

[@retroav777]

My favorite of the traditional Castlevania games, now on my favorite of the 16-bit consoles! Thank you werton, keep it up! And OMG silverRIFF! ...the music! Wow!😍

[@timothystaples2388]

Oh wow! This is awesome! I’m very excited for this! Rondo of blood is my favorite classic Castlevania. I could load this up on my modded GameCube.

[@cyberpc1333]

Nice work in progress, and alternative Ritcher ouftfit 🍷🗿

[@PyronsLair]

looking good, keep going

[@BeJankins-b4n]

Hey man I was really really stoked for that sunset riders port, what happened to it, that looked fantastic?

[@HV6AZZ002]

A new jewel for the mighty Genesis 🙌🏻 Amazing job!!!

[@RayLui-q2y]

This level of picture is stress-free for mega drive.

[@jessragan6714]

Looks nice. Seems to run better than the WIP Mega Castlevania IV, with more accurate physics.

[@TDRR_Gamez]

Incredible work. Can't wait to see the finished game if a WIP is this good.

[@SanKwesh]

Very good! We eagerly await the completion of your work. Congratulations on the service

[@dantecajigas22]

Very impressive work and I love the music.

[@kimonomywasabi]

This is incredible and has such a great mood/vibe on the Genesis!

[@HoroJoga]

Eu nao consigo nem imaginar o trabalho que deu pra acertar esse movimento de subir escada certinho com o sprite dos degraus kkk

[@rafaelantonio6765]

if you use 4 channels pcm it will sound better in boss fights

[@weerbox]

Yes, I haven’t done much work with sound yet. It seems they play in 1 channel, and the volume of sounds and music is also not consistent, but this is not a priority yet.

[@fishactivation5087]

I'm convinced that you people are trying to port goddamn every C'vania game to the Genesis.

[@DancesRainyStreets]

Is Castlevania III being ported as well?

[@sleepyren_]

​@@DancesRainyStreets i know SCIV is. I sure wish someone would do that, though.

[@willbd]

MEGAO A TODO VAPOR !!!! ainda mais vindo esse grande classico do PC ENGINE

[@traumatizedgeworth]

awesome music, the YM2162 is great

[@ابوك-ز6ك]

Looks so clean

[@Kanecobond]

This is phenomenal. I love homebrew projects especially of the retro backporting of official games from more advanced hardware down to a much more underpower architecture... the technical marvel and undertaking, especially done by passionate fans always leaves astonished and impressed. Hope, if there's enough interest, to see a full Genesis/Mega Drive port of the game even with liberties taken... and even if just Richter is the only playable character implemented and some stages cut down in some of the alternate paths. Especially if it can run on actual hardware too. This is incredible.

[@danmakuman]

Awesome work!

[@olivieribassi647]

Mais um inscrito aqui . Obrigado por trabalhar com maestria e capricho . Esta ficando otimo !

[@Write-Stuff]

You are an absolute MANIAC! This is incredible!

[@JC-th5gc]

Was that coat pickup (@1:55) there in the original version? Is it just a cosmetic thing, or does it change gameplay in some way?

[@weerbox]

This is not in the original ROB, I added this as a joke. This coat is from the Saturn version of SOTN, and yes, it is just a cosmetic thing.

[@rafaelantonio6765]

PERFECT FROM BRAZIL WITH LOVE

[@AllardRT]

Man, this just keeps looking better and better! I know it's too much to ask, but IMO you should try and see this to the end. Maybe collab with someone? It's too awesome to just remain a demo.

[@vlogdocarlao6326]

Uauuuuuu!!! Parabéns!! Que lindo ficou, perfeito!!!

[@nat_4061]

Cool, I admire you ❤

[@polynektar]

wow it's looking perfect...and what was that at the end??

[@weerbox]

Thanks. In the original game, there was just a suspicious niche in the wall, which seemed to hint that there must be some kind of secret here. But, unfortunately, as it turned out over the years, it was just a hole in background and nothing more, and it was impossible to get there. Just for fun, I added this secret passage, at the end of which lies Richter’s alternative outfit/sprite from the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night.

[@apav13]

YES! amazing work! keep going !!!

[@Toi_Viciao]

Increíble trabajo, seguid así chicos!

[@McdonaldeS1986]

Absolutely fantastic

[@TRX303]

Looks very promising overall. I hope that in the final version the slow-downs in the music will be fixed as well.

[@rafaelantonio6765]

pray for it to get finished

[@Purpbatboi]

DAMN, that was the port i wanted to make with SGDK but someone already has beat me to it..

[@rafaelantonio6765]

you can make the rain by using sprites, instead

[@Epsilonsama]

This one seems like a great game to port or rewrite for the SEGA CD. You get to keep the FMVs and music and just focus on the codeitself. Plus Sega CD has the advantage of being able to play burned disk for people without ever drives.

[@wolfgangpuff7030]

Very cool, but why not do a Mega CD version? Or even better, a cart/CD combo?

[@Oni64]

hell yea imagine if this would have been released on the SEGA CD

[@colos3284]

Looks really good! But I noticed that when other sounds appears music stops and slow downs. I suppose that this is no good and hope that issue will be fixed in the future... А так, автору успехов, проект замечательный. Думаю, ещё можно будет добавить скроллинг второго фона, благо железо Сеги позволяет (посмотрите на Dracula X на SNES).

[@weerbox]

Thank you. Yes, there is a problem with the sound, i need to split the sounds into different channels. I also seem to have sorted out the music lagging by switching to the xgm1 driver. At least I haven't noticed any such problems with it yet.

His progress has been impressive, he has already adapted most of the game's mechanics, stairs, jumping, attacks, weapons. enemies and bosses need to be adapted, but the basic mechanics for reproducing each phase are there, will there be the two-headed dragon phase from dxc?

[@SamsterEntertainment]

Awesome! 😊

[@ChristianFernandoPerucchi]

This is impressive amazing work, would love to help with the Music if needed, but with what im hearing its amazing loved it

[@weerbox]

Thank you. I would really appreciate help with music, because I need to adapt music from WAV to VGM tracker format. But It's required specific knowledge and skills in working with tracker formats and an application like deflemask. I found a musician who agreed to help me with one track - "prelude to the boss". But for the demo of the stage 1, I at least still need - "boss battle", "stage completion" and "game over" tracks. It would be great if you could help me with some of this.
