Translating Dracula X / SOTN Beta V1.02 1.021

[modsbox]

Looks like item freezing bug is still present despite the 0.81 patch notes. I get a crash on trying to pick up cube of zoe, but now after skipping that I get the same crash trying to pick up the wolf transformation.

Also, I realized with my difficulty getting things going initially I didn't say the most obvious thing, which is-- Thank you!!!

Thank you KnightOfDragon for putting the time and energy into making this patch a reality. It's an unbelievable feeling finally playing this game in english on the Saturn at last.

Looks awesome. Can't wait for your next patch release! (and I couldn't help but notice that cube of zoe pickup works now in your video... hype!)

Thank you so much for doing this, I've been playing on the Fenrir it's great to play the game in English on real hardware (VA1 model). I'm not getting the game freezing at the title screen but one bug I found is when picking up the cube of Zoe (materialize cube) the game hangs and the system has to be restarted. I tried the same item in a non-patched version of the game and had no issue when picking it up.

Thanks again, this is really awesome!

Just wanted to confirm that I have the same setup as 230-V and are experiencing the same result.

Regardless, thanks for your work, fantastic job getting this far

Thanks Sir, very hard work by your part and finally you bring to the community one of the "biggest" exclusives. I´ll try it soon, i can see the last patch is 0.81.

If any photoshop experts would like to contribute, getting a young portrait of Richter in the style of other portraits would be neat.

The closest I have seen as an example is:

Richter Belmont - The Castlevania Wiki - Castlevania, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, and more (fandom.com)

And the sprite sheet to use to get size and color can be found here:

PlayStation - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Portraits - The Spriters Resource (spriters-resource.com)



I would probably start with the sprite sheet from SOTN to get the color palette, and work on getting the example to fit closely to it.

Check out Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP. The Rondo of Blood remake uses portraits kind of in that style.

This one is from the PSP

if you look at all of the other portraits, the ones from the PSP version wouldn't fit with the artwork and design. Looking for something that would feel organic to the style of the given game. Basically a side profile with the ability to flip directions.

 

[Amiceli1983]

ya there not many official side profile pictures.. the one you pick is probably the best one; the only issue I have with it.. Richter 's mouth is open and a slight intense face expression compare to the other characters 's portraits... but what can you do...this one is somewhat close to a side view but not quite ..personally I like this one..his face is calm and relaxed..just like the other portraits

 

[Knight0fDragon]

well, for having very little photo editing experience, the first run of this did not turn out that bad lol. need to work on the color however.

My gift to you. Now I need to recover about 40 hours worth of sleep.

Thank you k0d! I just knew it you would release a christmas patch. 😀
Merry Chistimas everyone!

What could I be doing wrong? The new patcher is giving me this message:
"ERROR! Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. (Parameter 'index')"

Could you give me more info? You must be hitting a case I did not test.

I love the new patcher utility! Thank you so much for the ongoing work with this project, Knight0fDragon.

We all look forward to v1.0!
