/g/ wanted to promote no kids/live in a pod/walkable city/loser incel/tranny lifestyle. so they began censoring the most traditional church act only a God would judge. procreation, the life itself. leftists decided that having kids and cumming inside womb for reasons of procreation is too problematic for modern IT men on /g/ and that they should do forced castration instead and never breed. it's all ploy by jews to reduce population. it all connects if you think about it. as a result, wanted to impregnate woman is deemed as bannable offense on /g/

Oh, you mean the show. I thought "nocturne" was a hip way of referring to Symphony of the Night by its Japanese title.

>>10326308
Ok, don't answer the question then

We really need a full sprite sheet for the new costume.

>>10326542
Yes please.

>>10326518
well you could show your handiwork instead.

>>10326558
Haha, you assume I have talent. Joke's on you.

>>10326564
Then why in the hell did you ask what needs to be done and state you're a sprite artist?

>>10326572
He is just steering the pot and you fall for the bait

why the hell hasn't turbografx not released on the nintendo switch online? or would you rather play a port of RoB with another collection?

>>10326572
That wasn't me. I was pointing out what is most needed at the moment to steer the conversation back on track so it didn't collapse into Kermit pictures.

>>10327295
Impressive. Let's see if the dorks working on this hack actually give you a proper response now.

is there a way to rip turbographx sound effects? i could use maria's voicelines for an animation

i'm working on understanding the cutscenes now, but while i'm doing that, other anons can figure out where maria's sprite tiles are used. this information will be needed to make sure all the modified sprites fit with each other. to that end, i've made this modification which replaces all of maria's sprites with numbered boxes. that patch is here:
https://files.catbox.moe/pta4dz.ips
apply to the .bin file. pic related is a table showing all of the sprite tiles with numbers to keep track of them. the first tile is 00, the last is D5. it's kind of hard to play the game with the modified tiles, but what i think would be useful is documentation of where the tiles appear in-game. so, the tiles used for each of maria's unique frames should be recorded. every possible state should be inspected: running, hurt, jumping, double jumping, etc. mostly this is to see how tiles are combined and where tiles are re-used.

>>10327295
Oh shit, how long did it took you to do this one?

>>10327384
An assembles sprite sheet is a good reference material as well. For the most part, that tiles seem to line up with their respective animation frames. It's not like Gunstar Heroes where it's a jumbled mess.

>>10327390
Didn't take long. Clean up process was obviously the most time consuming part.

>>10320174
No

They look almost perfectly matched up at a glance. They're divided horizontally but each top half corresponds with the bottom half right beside it.

>>10327763
More for me,

Do you prefer RoB Maria or SotN Maria? I don't like SotN Maria very much, she's like a completely different person.

>>10330015
sotn maria is a downgrade in every aspect

>>10320174
That's a 12 year-old. She's only looked like that in the PCE and SNES games. Fuck you doing?

>>10330234
>trying this hard
yawn

>>10330015
SOTN Maria, but only the PSP version.

>>10330015
Both are fine, peak 90s tiddy anime cheeky RoB Maria and more subdued but still cheeky Kojima SOTN Maria.

>>10330015
Roob Maria has an identity, and that identity is boobs, but that girl's got spunk, and she don't take no shit from nobody. Satan Maria is just an NPCunt, she runs after Alucard all "ooooh let me heal you taking your penis" like a vapid harlot, they can't make up their mind on how she should play, good for one (1) fuck but not much else unlike the other one.

>>10330234
I'm doing Maria in a Maria thread!!

>>10330015
>>10330576
SotN Maria is still awesome and has the added benefit of mysteriousness. She gets around the castle so nonchalantly, it's amazing. How the hell she stays so many steps ahead of Alucard like it's nothing always captivated my imagination. I haven't played the Saturn version, but from I can tell, just about the one thing is does REALLY well is Maria. She looks like she took a few pages from Richter's martial arts while putting her own spin on it growing up and is like a ninja.

Those arts of maria are fanarts with exaggerated
sizes. In the original arts of Rondo of blood made by the people of konami her breasts and her butt are as flat as a wood board. If you are looking for a castlevania female with actual big natural breasts and a big natural butt Laura from order of ecclesia is the one, and she is more femenine too.

Fucking shame the Kickstarter failed.

Would be cool if Dracula X got a Maria ROM hack someday, kinda surprised no one tried making one in all this time. Yeah, I know this version's not the highest regarded but it ain't bad either.

>>10333195
Tendies would never do it

>>10333284
Guess it's up to me then, though I'll need to learn how to do it first lmao, wait for me for about 25 years.

>>10332668
She had bigger tits in Rondo than in SOTN.

Good thread. Maria is best girl.

>>10333695
Actually the best girl is Axe Armor.

>>10333695
This single image is so weird. The FMVs all have a certain look throughout and then this shot shows up. Is it supposed to be a joke? That Maria is suddenly hyper badass for a single frame?

>>10333710
>That Maria is suddenly hyper badass for a single frame?
She always was

>>10333731
I know. But it looks like they were trying to make a joke by shading her like Kenshiro.

>>10333731
>>10333695

they switched tone styles cause its hilaroius, richter instead does the peace sign

>>10333740
It's worth mentioning in that scene Richter does a similar pose, they're reassuring Annette that they're going to beat Dracula and make it back alive. It makes sense with Richter but the same scene with Maria is a bit more silly because it's a little girl

>>10333710
The entire Maria mode is a joke, the game over text is stylized as kiddie looking letters to make fun of you for picking easy mode

>>10333784
Frankly that's one thing about this hack we're tossing around that makes me more interested. Turning Maria into a glass cannon challenge mode where she's nearly a OHKO piques my interest.

>>10333784
then why did they make her so awesome and enjoyably fun to play?

>>10333793
Why shouldn't they? They're not mutually exclusive.

Maria's bird should be replaced by rings with the harem outfit

>>10334939
What do you mean rings? Like Sonic?

>>10335078
Like Carrie's melee weapon. That sort of ring is often part of harem costumes

SotN Maria is hotter because i'm not a pedo

>>10335092
she's inferior in every way, and i'm not even talking as a lolicon here

Maria on Amiga.

>>10335092

i Cannot believe i have seen that art of sotn maria literally in every videogame forum but nobody has yet "photoshoped" or edited the image to make her have bigger breasts or wear only nipple pasties.

>>10334793
Dressing up as witches in Castlevania universe sounds like an invitation to get whipped.

>>10335209
Succubus's artwork is actually topless so it'd be an easy edit for a pro.

>>10327384
Is this for rondo of blood or SOTN

>>10336609
Rondo. I don't think SOTN has the full set of those Maria sprites. Just what they needed to have her run in and rescue Richter if you suck against Dracula.

>>10336827
The Saturn version of SOTN has a playable maria

>>10337152
Not that version though.

pedo containment thread

>>10335209
We have fanart.

>>10337165
welcome home

some cutscene tiles, at least for the maria rescue cutscene, are indeed compressed. all the compressed cutscene data is loaded into card ram when the cutscene loads, then decompressed and stored into VRAM as needed.

>>10331021
They apparently cobbled it from leftover boss sprite assets that are probably lost forever. Also, if you look closely right before her Saturn battle starts, she disappears for a frame or few as her reinserted sprites are loaded in.
I think IGA should've just cut his losses and improved upon Saturn Maria, and if he really wanted to incorporate a more Rondo-ized Maria, add THAT as a surprise extra. PSP's redone boss/playable graphics look out of place with the rest of the game, which is ironically the same issue people had with the rest of the Saturn content. At least Saturn Maria tries to blend in, even if her walk cycle is uncanny (because it's probably a holdover of her possessed version).

>>10337165
The young, the better.

>>10337974
Does that mean adding stuff is out of the question?

>>10330904
is there anymore

>>10338980
Just work backwards through the compression algo and figure it out.

>>10337978
>dark version of Maria

>>10338980
no. the compression algorithm can be reverse engineered, and the cutscene to be added is small enough that it would fit in VRAM uncompressed. it remains to be seen how much space there is unused on the disc, so i don't know if compressing the new graphics would be necessary.

>>10339987
I think the image itself its a bit outdated, and it alone wont be enough, it needs to play like a set up, for a cutscene, mostly stills with animated flaps, but can be done, a 1 minute scene would be fine.

storyboarding it would be a neat idea.

we just need to contact him

https://youtu.be/r6qzi3AVKRc?si=2HqOZ8BpJVzRHlQP

>>10337978
If I remember right IGA didn't have much of anything to do with the Saturn port and openly rejected the idea that Maria could be that powerful, which is why when he was more hands-on with the PSP port she got super-nerfed.

>>10320174

>>10335225
>scorp-slop

What they've made so far is kind of bad.

>>10337978
>>10340368
Ideally, there would be two playable Marias: the one from PSP based on her Rondo portrayal, and a Dark Maria with all the overpowered Saturn abilities .

>>10340141
>>10340543
I don't think the scene needs a lot happening. The game's original FMV scenes are practically still images to begin with. I think a quick shot of these two and maybe one more for a three still slideshow with Maria's "Yatta!" at the end is an effective Sailor Moon style transformation adapted to the rudimentary style of Rondo FMV. Add in a *clash* sound effect as each image appears conveys that she's being magically dressed in the outfit.

The bigger goal, and way more complicated, would be redrawing Maria in each of her original scenes so the game accounts for which outfit she's wearing at the time. That's a big ask of Pepi though and who knows if duplicating Maria's FMVs would even fit on the disc. Though the original scene where she's rescued could be omitted from this considering there's no scenario where she'd be in the new costume there.

Here's a space-saver idea if it's needed: lock the outfit until after saving Tera, Iris, and Annette, like how Richter has a trigger for an alternate set of end credits. That way, those scenes don't need to be redrawn to account for costume change. That still leaves the question of what to do with the other ending scenes, though.

>>10341353
Brilliant mate!

Would it be possible to bundle this with some sort of difficulty hack? So that playing Maria isn't strictly easy mode

>>10341186
>The bigger goal, and way more complicated, would be redrawing Maria in each of her original scenes so the game accounts for which outfit she's wearing at the time.
i believe i could do that, but it would take some time. i'll give it a try once there's a definite way to hack cutscenes.
t. making maria paizuri animation

Imagine a Dancer Carrie rom hack for Legacy of Darkness

>>10341353
What'd be the reason to lock the costume behind the three maidens? Maybe they would be the ones to present it to her?

>>10326963
That's how you pedo works. Her age when she was drawn is what matters, not how long ago the character was created.

Don't mind me, just waiting for my promotion.

>>10341924
>>10322139
Who is astroturfing here? whoever you are, you will never be real women.

I don't like her voice in SotN. No 17 year old sounds like that, and I think people forget she's still just a teenager in that game

>>10341353
Not a bad idea. Just have the ending change.

>>10341475
The new costume will be a hard mode. She's going to be a glass cannon.

>>10342358
Thats was the intention.

>>10341353
One issue with the whole thing is that if you have to essentially 100% the game before being able to get the costume then it leaves you with nothing to do or earn. It's not a huge issue but I always hate that in RPGs where you have to do the hardest stuff to get the best sword only for there to be nothing worth using it on at that point. I get that everyone is mostly interested in the visual aspects but if the new costume comes with a slide that doubles as an attack and also lower defense it would make playing as Maria a little different tactically speaking. Since you can reach the doorway without having unlocked everything it would mean that players could still have stuff to do.

>>10343952
Supposedly beating the game with the outfit unlocks a pantless version (concept in the air) and after that you unlock Simon/Trevor palette Richter who cant Item Crash.

>>10325952
I rock out to the 5 seconds you grab the heart orb every fucking stage in Rondo.
I don't know what it is. I just really makes me move. Like the SoRIII Boss Music.

>>10341981
What for?

>>10343982
I like that idea. It'd be very easy though if "beating the game" just means completing the Dracula fight. It's not even a real stage, just the final boss, which isn't even a little bit hard.

>>10343952
Would it be possible to let Richter and Maria (and their custom versions) have their own separate stage selects that start from scratch instead of sharing the same save file pool?

>>10344378
Not counting the Prologue there are 12 stages, right? There's some space below the selected player on the main menu. Maybe small versions of the boss orb graphic can be displayed there representing each stage. They'd populate according to which stages were beaten by the selected character. You can unlock Harem Maria without any fuss but in order to unlock the second version requires beating all levels with the regular version. And then unlocking Simon mode with Richter requires beating all levels with everybody. So the levels will still be unlocked normally but players can complete them with the different characters/costumes at their leisure.

>>10344378
What if you wanted to do the new stage as Richter? Seems he won't access it without stage select.
>>10344496
I prefer something like this if it's implementable. Maybe I'd make a tiny tweak: change the "complete" counter for every boss orb rather than every stage given how the routes work.

>>10344867
The new stage is ideally built for Maria's toolset so won't be beatable as Richter. Areas requiring the slide and double jump. It probably won't appear as an independent stage. More like a sub area of Stage 5.

>>10344901
how long could it be in length btw?

>>10344967
Way too early to know. I wouldn't mind drafting up a layout but that'd be step 19 when we're still on step 3.

>>10345161
that's wise, better to know if it can be done at all before we decide how we do it.

>>10320174
More like Maria Retard haha am I right guys

>>10345223
I'd be fine even with just a costume swap.

>>10346264
i'll try to get it released on halloween i've had to speedlearn how to draw hands for this and i'm not even done with all the hand poses yet, but once it's done maybe i can get it out in time. if i add sound i hope you don't mind grimoire maria's voice, because i don't think i'll have the time to rip her rondo voice

>>10344867
>>10344901
If you wanted Richter to be able to fight a new boss, one way to go about it would be to implement a boss rush mode.
OR, hide a warp directly to the new boss (not the stage/reward) somewhere else in the game.
If this hack is successful, I hope it becomes a spring-board to backport some DXC content over to the original game, because the new bosses really feel like they belong here.

>>10346328
If the cut lizard monster is going to be Maria's special boss it's the perfect opportunity for a fakeout. Instead of attacking it's head maybe Maria has to slide underneath it? That'd be something Richter can't do and would justify why Maria has to be the one to deal with it.

>>10346168
Anime tits are a powerful motivator.

>>10346845
Perhaps the most powerful.

>>10346273
>because i don't think i'll have the time to rip her rondo voice
The decent part of me recognizes that A.I. is potentially chaotic, offensive, and terrifying if used for the wrong reasons. But the fanservice and shitposting side of me really loves the idea of being able to have fictional characters convincingly say whatever we want them to.

>>10346729
It doesn't look like Richter can even hit it's head without a special weapon. There's your hook. Either the slide or double jump are required to deal with it, neither of which Richter can do.

>>10347238
apparently that creatures torso was hiding beyond the first screen all this time. imagine this game came out on main stream console in amercia at launch. it definitely would have been found with game genie. with limited media back then it would have turned into a playground rumor.
>theres a big dead creature waiting for you just outside the first room in stage 1
>none of these are ever true. why would the-OH MY GOD! wheres its HEAD??

>>10347393
I can't imagine where it would even fit in that stage. The only thing I can think is they were going to stick it in the area with those big rock guys but backpedaled because it was too much of a pain in the ass to fight if you didn't have an axe.

>>10347414
if we avoid the idea that it was just there for testing purposes it could have possibly been another tutorial babby boss like death was for in an otherwise useless room

>>10347414

>>10347509
Were those golems even used besides in that one area in the first level?
The intro cutscene implied there was an army of them, but you blow through two of them and never see them again.

>>10347393
>The more you know

>>10347393
>>10347509
My guess? It was replaced by the burning building with the skeleton bursting out of the window since that's a visually cooler setpiece. Maybe that's why the town doesn't resemble Aljiba - that area and its sign could've been added fairly late. The dragon was probably a unique "midboss" type enemy like the club skeleton or the spitting flower. Not a boss, just a giant enemy like those wolves at the start of Symphony. But it didn't flow too well in the first level, and it never got repurposed.
Or maybe it was the lost Stage 5' boss and its leftover in Stage 1 means nothing.

The stairs seem high enough to safely strike its head.
Maybe that's all it was - a tutorial enemy to force Richter to use the stairs, but that was dumb so it was axed.

>>10332502
Shame she's a g*psy

>>10342346
In fairness she does actually sound closer to her age in Japanese

>>10349480
She also sounds too young for her age in Rondo. For whatever reason Japanese anime insists on making preteens sound like they're 8 years old. A person's voice typically starts adjusting to their adult pitch around 11 or 12.

>>10349550
t. listens to a lot of nip girls
It's just how Japanese girls sound. Personally I hate when the English dub actresses try to emulate that kind of voice, it always ends up sounding forced.

>>10346729
Here's the graphics for the lizard in memory. It only appears in the first area but it's possible they used that as a testing area. If there's any leftover code controlling it's movement and attacks that's also probably where it'd be.

>>10349550
>She also sounds too young for her age in Rondo.
She doesn't, girls in Japan actively make themselves sound younger to appear more attractive.

She's 17 in SotN, but the point stands

>>10320174
Not to sound crass, but... what does she smell like?

>Started SotN
>Meet Maria as Alucard
>Her voice is... pretty damn hot?
Whoa.

>>10350740
She stuffed her dress in Rondo.

tcrf is unaware if the dragon has code. perhaps finding if there is ai for it would be better to prioritize atm?

>>10350809
that makes too much sense. shes at that perfect age for the anime girl envy troupe. it fits her personality. why else would she be absolutely massive even in anime world logic

>>10350809
>>10350828
Her breasts are about the same size in both games. She just grew into them by SOTN.

>>10350993
Damn, maxing out at 12 and it doesn't grow when everything else does. That's grim.

>>10331021
PSP Maria plays like Rondo Maria, but her animal friends have all grown up with her

>>10350809
Wrong. She's a natural goddess.

The 3D remake outright removed it, but the area now has a Skeleton Gunman and Sound Item No.30 in a candle. It might not even be a door. Whatever it is, it was deemed vestigial for the final game. It may just be the game designers forgetting for a moment to keep the game balanced around Richter's moveset, since there's no other Maria-exclusive area in the game, or it could've been a test graphic for the ghost portrait snuck in as an in-joke.
Do we know if any of the Rondo devs are active on social media? There's that musician at >>10350828, but that's a long shot. (And there are TCRF lurkers at /vr/ so I half-expect >>10347509's mag scan to be uploaded soon, hurry and credit /vr/anon before someone else takes credit in their hroken system.)
And if you want more Castlevania series dev info, TV Tropes got surprisingly good at compiling much of it somewhere in their Trivia or YMMV sections. Their "What Could Have Beens" can be goldmines sometimes.

The best guess people have made was that it was Stage 5's alternate path to reach the Hidden Docks. The weirdness around that stage gives some credence to it. They may have cut it because they didn't want to make a Maria-only exit. But there's still some weirdness about that explanation because alternate exits usually go to the alternate variant of the NEXT stage, not the same one. And the Hidden Docks is stage 5', which you wouldn't go to from stage 5. But maybe the game's map looked wildly different back when this was first established. 5' feels like an incomplete stage they threw in at the end for shits and giggles.

>>10352137
Funny thing is, they actually changed how Stage 5' is accessed in the remake, though most people prolly didn't notice - Death apparently swipes the boss orb that leads to 5' if you try to get there normally before beating him at 5. So it's no longer strictly a postgame thing.
IGA confirmed in the official Dracula X Chronicles guidebook that Shingo Takasuka, who's pretty much only known for being the producer/programmer for the Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer) series, made the original Stage 5', which is why it was so weird. I guess it was basically made as a favor.
TCRF says that there's room for at least three levels, and those slots house early versions of existing levels. There's also that mystery "Stage X" text, but that may or may not just be related to Peke.

I am dyslexic and read this as
>marry a retard

plot twist- was the bastardized version the original sprite for dracula all along?

i never realized how different the snes version was from the others but you can still see they are all based on the same sprite. definitely the most creepy/intimating design. also the most competent. rondo looks more soulful tho.

>>10335092
I love her mature voice

>>10353063
cursed poster, you ruined the thread now.

>>10353063
i kneel pepi sama

>>10327009
bukkake

>>10353063
Her head is turned 170 degrees relative to her buttocks.

>>10354849
what, first time with cheesecake art that utterly flies in the face of human anatomy?

>>10354849
>>10354921
Ever been fit?

>>10354921
After looking at obscene illustrations for two decades, I now immediately notice anatomic flaws in them and cannot ignore them, unless they are done intentionally to escalate absurdity.

I'm going to ask nicely to not derail the thread. I normally wouldn't care but this conversation is too important.

>>10353063

Finally a art were her breasts and her butt are big.

But, what about the maria from symphony of the night?

>>10353063
this is the maria i would SMASH!
how could I be like Richer BROS?

>>10355226
Anon I don't think we're going to derail talk about Maria's tits or old theorycrafting about Rondo

>>10353063

The perfect maria: the face and hair of rondo of blood version but with big breasts, big butt and slighty taller.

>>10355398
But Rondo Maria has big breasts and a big butt.

>Who are you, Mister?
>A good guy?

>>10320174
happy early halloween

>>10355983
How the hell are you making these look so authentic?!

>>10354849
It's perfectly in-line with pixel art porn of the era

>>10356142
limited palette, dithering

>>10355983
I fucking kneel

>>10356142
Took the original picture, center it at 256p horizontal, then horizontally shrink from 100 to 88%, then on PaintSAI2 do the lineart cause its buttery smooth over there and has pixel perfect algrorythm (no double pixels), minor detal defining on the pixel curves, then back to CSP and shading and color using the layer exclusive buckets.

>>10335092
SotN Maria was drawn by a fujo who was sexualizing men and desexualizing women. If you like SotN Maria, you like men and hate women.

>>10353063
>>10355983
I love them

would you rather have maria titfuck a generic guy or richter? if i keep going at my current pace i could release the animation by the 31st
>>10355983
this is divine

>>10353024
Maybe a recolored version. The art still has grey hair. Actually could explain why the Rondo sprite's hair looks more grey while the final art's hair looks more lavendar.
>>10357007
Alucard.

>>10353063
>>10355983
I have an oppai loli fetish now, thanks anon

>>10357049
>now
How did it take you so long?

>>10357007
>generic guy or richter?
Dracula.

>>10357007
>Maria in Viper RSR scenario before Richter can save her

>>10357046
I always thought it was odd that they made Dracula look so young. He looks like a Sailor Moon villain. They did something similar in Castlevania 64.

>>10357231
It's not exactly a common thing. Other than Maria I can't name any examples off the top of my head.

>>10356764

Page 8 already......

>>10357692
noooooooooooooooooooooooo

>>10356764
>. If you like SotN Maria, you like men and hate women.

true, SOTN maria looked masculine in comparison with rondo maria and sonia belmont.

>>10357692
how does auto-sage work here?

>>10357049
Illegal to view in the UK!

>>10357790
Jannies of course, anything they dont like pointing it out might get you warn/ban, that and threads being around 2 weeks without being pruned.

>>10355983
For whoever makes the new thread, use this as the OP

>>10358243
It would be taken down or auto saged just as fast.

>>10358243
Don't. Use something neutral.

>>10355983
>halloween
is that her shantae costume?

>>10357540
i wonder if dracula is the entire reason for the design overhaul in sotn. you cant have him looking younger than his own son

>>10357790
I hate the 2-week rule. it should be extended for slower boards.

Fare well for now
