Castlevania: Holy Fires - Version 2.0.0: Casual Mode

Changes:

  • We've received some requests for an easier difficulty mode for Castlevania: Holy Fires. So, in this update we added a brand new game mode: Casual Mode!

    • In this game mode, the Night is a little bit nicer towards Christopher. In Casual Mode, if you lose all your lives and get a Game Over, you are no longer thrown back to the title screen. Instead you can continue from the start of the level you were on when you died. No more do-overs!

    • Secondly, when you get hit by an enemy in Casual Mode, they will no longer take your upgraded whip from you! This will now only happen when you die. Get some more uses out of that fully upgraded whip!

    • Note: GameJolt Trophies are still bound to Normal Mode, so no trophies are unlocked in Casual Mode.

  • Secondly, we removed some of the Ukobacks from Level 4. They were making things a little too difficult at that part of the game.

Two Holy Fires posts in one week? You bet!

A few weeks ago we showed a first look at the boss' arena for level 3. Here it is in it's finished form!

Also, check out that grey demon in the sky. It's Gobanz (or Death Bat), the original boss of level 3!

This week, we 're working on the arena where the third boss of the game will be fought. Here's a first look of it!

🏆Meet the winners of the Narrative Jam presented by Game Jolt and @NEOWIZ_QUEST ! Where every story finds its voice!

Mancers Memos nr. 4 - The Key (Rooms) to Adventure

@JerielBonilla wanted Symphony Of The Night. Well, there ya go! 😁 #Castlevania #WiseDrums

Here's a quick look at the enemies you'll encounter in the first dungeon of Mancers; the Gobster Hideout. This place will be filled with magically enhanced Goblin Mobsters such as this one!

We added enemies from later Castlevania games to Holy Fires. Check out Ukoback and Skeleton Gunman from Symfony of the Night (among others). To make them fit in Holy Fires, we gave them a bit of a visual overhaul. (also check out our new page-banner)

🥉✨ I won 3rd place in the Narrative Jam! ✨🥉

My game Luna Magica made it into the winners of the Game Jolt + NEOWIZ jam ÒwÓ They really loved the worldbuilding and the dark magical-girl vibe, 🌙

Thank you so much to everyone who played it! #GameDev #JotaDev

Kindle got his first subweapon! The Fireblasts may not have the same range as his throwing-scythes do, but they pack a way bigger punch!
