SOTN HD remake idea.

[Anonymous No.8926854]

Do you think It would be possible to remake alucard and the sprites from SOTN like kof 12 and hope someone makes a texture pack or basically remake the game in a modern engine, basically as some fan project?

something like pic related.

>but wasn't this an old thread
Yes, I made it years ago, but clearly my artistic and 2D and 3D skills were much much worse than now, and I've become a lot better and also tools have been developed in the last 2 years that basically make possible for me to realistically make on my own all the animation of Alucard in HD.

Holy fuck OP I'm not on my computer but I have your sprite saved from years ago. I guess I would say stop dilly dallying and JUST DO IT. There's plenty of fan projects that gain traction but you'll never know if you don't make something!!! Get started ASAP!

Esco is already doing something like this, although his version's basically just SOTN if it were a side-scroller and of course

If you have the skills, create something original ffs

[Anonymous No.8926891]

>>8926870
yeah, but my older skills and specially since that I made that sprite was much much worse, also tools that only exist since a year and half ago have been developed and made possible to create something as good as that old render with 3D.

Currently I'm waiting for the dev of pixelover to implement my request of separating each mesh in the render as a separate render pass, which would be what I need to reach a higher quality result.

pic related was a test fan art animation I made to try my 3D to pixel art workflow.

>>8926882
yeah, not sure if show him my work, because I don't want to ruin his money spend on hiring pixel artists.

>>8926885
yeah, but I still want to remake old games in HD like kof 12.

the only castlevania HD remake i want is an updated Harmony of Despair
everyone hated my Charlotte main until they realized i maxed out that heal spell

that does look really good though... have you redone the transformations/familiar sprites yet?

[Anonymous No.8926909]

>>8926903
No, It was a fan art sprite I made after learning the pixel art techniques of kof 12.

Is just a pixel art paint over a render.
But my goal right now is to see if I can get a similar result with 3D model and post processing.

It think it could be possible to create such pixel art from a 3D render, specially if the dev of pixel over implement my ideas to fix the core issues with his tool that ruin the idea of being real pixel art.

>>8926909
whoa
big words i don't really get but im sure you can do it buddy!
anything that raises castlevania back from the dead in any way i support

[Anonymous No.8926927]

Please don't. SOTN doesn't need a remake.

[Anonymous No.8926986]

>>8926916
well, let me put this way.
Imagine you were always inspired when you were like 20 for like kof 12 dot tutorial site.
And you were like wow, this is like magic.

But 2009 technology was very limited, so SNK bankrupted themselves with such heavy workload.
HD quality pixel art is simply not economically viable to make by hand.

But luckily 3D tech has improved, and 3D to pixel art tech has also made big leaps.
New tools have been made.

So now my old goal is very realistic.

>>8926927
Not a remake, more like an HD texture pack.

[Anonymous No.8927045]

>>8926986
ah yes
now i understand...

sounds fun and you can do it
what are you going to start with?

[Anonymous No.8927061]

>>8927045
well, I need for the dev of PO to fix the issues I just mentioned before I can make my OP pixel art.

I think is reasonable to wait a couple weeks for the new version to have the issues fixed, and in the mean time work making Alucard and other monster models.

But clearly this thread is more to shitpost about the idea than actually getting stuff made.
If I'm sucesful I'll show some results later.

:)

This thread reminded me of the Genesis port, and I was pleased to see that the dev is still working on it.

no problem spit balling some brainstorming ideas
if you can do the fairy familiar chilling on his shoulder, the female bat that's in love with him getting heart broken when he turns from bat to normal, and him just chilling with his feet up sitting at the table that would be awesome

what monsters are you looking forward to redoing?

[Anonymous No.8927086]

>>8927080
first one could be the basic skeleton from the first levels, but my main concern is making alucard, and the other characters.

What I really want to remake is alucard, lol.

[Anonymous No.8927095]

As an amateur pixel artist, your work is excellent. Keep it up

Horseshit idea, CV64 is way better.

Would it be possible? Of course. Would there be a point to it? Probably not. People who are fans of the 2D Castlevanias are fans of it because of the pixels, not in spite of them. At that point, you've remade a whole game that most fans will play for a few minutes, say "neat, HD," and then move on. Personally, I like SotN, but I wouldn't care to play it like this.

You really want to succeed, make an entirely new game with that sort of art but a familiar SotN style, like Bloodstained. Same amount of work but at least people won't be stuck playing through the same game they've already finished fifty times.

It's possible but do you even know how KoF12 sprites were made? They made 3D models and drew over them, rotoscope style.

but yeah that's the thing, you could make some models and trace over them in a better style but good fucking luck doing the rest of the game, it's already pretty detailed but to draw them in even higher detail would take a massive amount of work
