| ======================== CASTLEVANIA - BLOOD MOON ========================  Welcome to the readme for Castlevania Blood Moon, released 1/10/05. This is a romhack of the original Castlevania done using Stake, Tilelayer Pro & Hex Workshop. Many changes from the original have been made during the production of this hack. It's taken quite a while to finish up, but at last the day has arrived. This hack only works when the IPS file is patched to the Castlevania (U) PRG1 rom. So unless you recieved the actual rom, a utility such as SNESTOOL will be needed to do this. All graphics to characters were created by bit-blade, redrum, moonchilde & revility. The stage's background graphics were done by bit-blade & redrum. Several changes involving the game's engine were done through hexadecimal by redrum. Some of these changes include jumping higher & whip while walking (which is sort of a mixed blessing.), and the drop item ratio. Stake is a fantastic editor that allowed me (redrum) to make many complex changes to the music, gameplay, title/ending screens, and of course the levels themselves.  Level 1- Cursed Graveyard Designed by redrum  Level 2- Mountain Path Designed by redrum  Level 3- Demon Tower Designed by morgoth galaxius  Level 4- Underground Waterway/Castle Entrance Designed by dragonsbrethren  Level 5- Hall of Illusions Designed by bit-blade  Level 6- Castle Summit/Final Battle Designed by redrum Several features were used in Blood Moon that were prominent in the original Castlevania, but not utilized. For example; the water's splash effect, having to break a path through the wall to proceed, and bit-blade's unique tile solidity glitch, and a few booby traps along the way which all make for substantially more interesting gameplay. This is a very difficult game, for master vampire killers only. If you happened upon it by mistake, then run! far far away! wuahaha! now for the credits!  Thanks to all who participated in this project! This game is dedicated to the members of the original CVC & the memory of my late brother, Kris Baker.

| Bah, I can't stand animated screenshots. :/ Looks good, though. Nice use of colors in some of the levels. I only played up to level 2, so I can't say too much on how it plays, but so far it's been pretty good. |

Originally posted by EverdredI have to agree, why not having more screenshots instead of animating ones? I would understand the animation if you wanted to show credits or something, but for the rest...  Well, I gotta admit that Castlevenia is one of thoose games I want to play but never got around to do so. I should test that game and this hack this weekend... |

| Ha ha. Critisizing animated screenshots instead of the game. That's a new one. Uh, I think the hack is great. But you forgot to add the "I am the wind" theme to the end of the game.  |

Wow Redrum!!  This hack is the by far the best Castlevania hack I've played since Castlevania Retold. Great job with utilizing all those Stake features. This really almost feels like a new game in itself. Great job. |

| Ok, I played this game thru a few levels now. It really is a great hack. I have to hand it to you. The new sprites keep things fresh. The higher jump is a subtle touch, but perfectly implimented. You don't even notice it after a while. I have a Castlevania hack I made some time back. All the levels are done but I'm touching up the graphics. This hack is inspiring me to pick that up again. |
