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.

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!

The Fourth and Final Level. We're finally making it. Here you see the entrance to Dracula's Inner Sanctum. A walkway surrounded by a giant moat of blood. Can't stay too long to enjoy the nice surroundings though, the blood rises...

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

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)

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

New monster reveal! She-worms (or just Worms) are excellent climbers. They use this ability to slither their way up the Clocktower. Watch out when you hit them though, they switch to their attack form if you do...

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 is a general #UnrealEngine tool, not specifically for the Mega Man project. It can copy the data from ANY Blueprint or C++ UPROPERTY variable, and copy it back to any compatible variable. Could lead to making Save States for Rollback Netcode.

For this years Global Game Jam, we've made a short horror game based on the theme Lost and Found!

In GOAT, your objectives are simple: 1. Make your way down the mountain. 2. Don't get lost. 3. Don't get found.
