Perfect! Now all it needs is this helpful sign from the C64 version.

This is looking rather beautiful! I have always had a soft spot for mods for Doom consisting of Castlevania-based content, including the whip, the enemies, and, best of all, the levels. I agree heavily with you taking cues from SOTN for this. Keep up the great work.

This project looks quite awesome!

I really would like to play it once you release something :), may I ask you something about it? what's your take on the maps designs? I understand you are basing the game on the first Castlevania game, are you doing a direct map conversion or something like that?

Well the dev is useing Castlevania 1 as base but it is not a 1:1 remake since.

1) is 3D to begin with.
2) he is takeing creative liberties to make this new levels. such as fog and more detail desing.
3)And he knows what a GOOD dificulty curve is. trust me. you don't want to fall into pits every 10 seconds. :lol:

Pretty good-looking Castlevania Doom mod you got in the making. It really feels like you are playing Castlevania in 3d. One issue I have though is that the stopwatch's timestop doesn't feel right, as the enemies move even when the timestop is still active. I would've written down as a fault with the engine, but a couple of mods have proven that it is possible to have a seamless timestop effect (the timestop in Skelegant's DIO mod and the adrenaline injector in Marrub's Lithium for example).

Thank you very much, it's not a direct conversion, it's more of a reinterpretation of the classic levels.

Don't worry, i've tweaked it, it now works seamlessly.

Geez, Batandy. You make some of the best quality partial conversions and you put them out so damn fast. Every single screenshot here looks great.
