I've noticed many times on the characters added that you applied a "filtery" appearance to the special effects, be it motion blur on a weapon or projectiles, etc. and I saw it isn't done simply by only adding transparency.

Did you change/edit the FX from the sprites by hand or is there a program/thingy that does it for you (including adding the black border which gets removed when adding transparency)?

The thing is, when I apply the same to the stuff we're working on, it looks noticeably less impressive, sometimes instead of looking detailed it looks too bright:

Interesting, on Esco's picture it seems that alpha is counted based on the lack of white... Like turning color map into BW and then used as alpha.
Instead you seem to be getting multiplied white intensity based on the mount of light... Looks like opposite settings somewhere.

i do use filters on the source image, such as blur, motion blur, or several consecutive blurs while pasting the original on top each time to create the aura around it or others. it's all done in image editing software, mugen doesn't have any specific filter options, just additive and subtractive blending.

Morell: New castlevania? And typical one too - for each castlevania you need specific emulator to play it on PC, none works on at least two of them.

Looks really nice.... torrents are my last resort. installing 3DSmax is no pleasant thing. Aug 3, 2020 4:04:53 GMT -5 *

Morell: Despite it is winter here, I saw a very big bat, not native to these lands, bigger than raven. So either it was flying fox (kind of fruit bat) escaped from captivity/smuggler or vampires exist.

Esco: Cool. But this place will most likely stay dead until releases become a routine thing. Which is expected and also fine as I don't have much time to be on here anyway. Apr 30, 2021 8:08:27 GMT -5

ostef: Do people have problems connecting using Chrome ? It gives me (error 1) on the proboards login page. It's fine on Microsoft Edge. (Windows 10) May 31, 2021 7:35:46 GMT -5

Esco: I use Chrome and always have, with no problem. I am doing so right now on a Windows 7 machine. May 31, 2021 9:23:05 GMT -5

ostef: Well the problem happens since I got the patreon member status it seems, before it was working fine... May 31, 2021 10:38:21 GMT -5

Esco: Attention everyone: if you haven't checked the Patreon page lately do so. I've been updating there quite a bit for the last few weeks/months! www.patreon.com/sotnhacked Nov 9, 2021 14:37:50 GMT -5

Esco: ATTENTION EVERYONE: thread titles can now be up to 200 characters long (instead of just 60)! A special shoutout goes out to Mike, for pointing me towards the thread with the plugin. Jan 20, 2022 12:31:15 GMT -5

otakuteam: Hello friends! Will the game also have an unlockable achievement system? Same as PSX, XBOX, Steam etc. If possible, could have more playable characters also containing different untold stories (Same as RE2 type Scenario A, Scenario B, 4th Survivor etc). Mar 29, 2022 6:58:46 GMT -5 *

otakuteam: It would be super cool. Thank you in advance for everyone's understanding and attention. See you, friends. and CONGRATULATIONS for this great project. Mar 29, 2022 6:59:40 GMT -5

Pocketvania: The progress is outstanding. Played the demo tons. Though I am very concerned about the time limit per "stage". Is this really going to be kept? SoTN was so stress free just relaxing as you explored. Hopefully it does not stay, but that's my opinion. Jan 26, 2023 18:23:41 GMT -5

Esco: Glad you like it. Yes. It is here for good. Feb 1, 2023 21:02:19 GMT -5

xelapilled: my girlfriend and I love your project! quick question about the above statement, will SOTN:Hacked still be considered a metroidvania, or a return to the classic Castlevania style? Nov 18, 2023 0:38:43 GMT -5

Esco: A mix of both is the best way I can answer that. Nov 28, 2023 0:39:03 GMT -5
