The game remake looks great. It has an appealing look and the gameplay is fine and fluid. I would work on improving the character's animation and some of creature animations (I would recommend to hire a professional animator). Other than that it looks pretty cool.
It's a pitty about Konami. This is my advice: keep the game structure and just rebranch the project (change the name of the game and the characters names, etc) and you will be able to release it even comercially.
Name can be like.."Tears of blood", vampire nights, demon castle dracula (or dracula's castle perhaps) , night stalkers etc... Vampire Hunter, vampire killer are already used names by respective movies or game developers.
Came back to play this 'demo' again and I still love it. I really wish Konami would try and win back their fans by allowing you to continue development on this. This is a project I'd gladly donate towards.
While it's a shame your work was halted, I applaud what you did manage to accomplish. It's a beauty of a remake and I, personally, would love to see other classics be given the Unreal treatment. I'm not even a big Castlevania fan and this was super nice. Good job.
is there any news about the C&D,,, Konomi is like that I hear. Much like Nintendo they want eveything to be theirs forever, even if its abandoned or statis-ware
Just now i came up this game. Gotta say, it looks great and plays quite fair being under development. Runs smooth framerate btw, and i can play with my xbox360 controller for windows just fine, only stairs gives some troubles. Did you know that the music is loud, as loud it almost breaks itself? Maybe too much amped or something. None the less, this game looks nice and plays nice, kudos! PS. Its too shame, that konami seized this, i was looking forward to see the finished game. Oh well, maybe someday?
Is not so simple. By definition, if they don't defend they IP (or TM, I don't remember which), they can lose it. Is not like this remake is a problem to they, but if they don't do nothing, they can lose the IP (or TM, as I said).
I love it and really hope Konami stops the C&D and help the developer (dejawolf) to finish the game, I love Castelvania games from the NES and SNES and the Game Boy but on the PC they have never felt as fun.
This game is hitting all the marks, The animation has a kind of macabre stop monition feeling, the sound and music is very good and the lighting, the colors and effects are very lush and in the correct style for the franchise.
I have a Steam Controller; Jumping, Pausing & moving all work which I am amazed. Now, attacking does not work on the Steam Controller. I'm using the Steam Controller for everything but then to use my Whip, I have to press K on my keyboard. Is there a way to program/reconfigure the buttons from keyboard to the Steam Controller? I don't see any options. Any help with this?

Konami requires the Castlevania name only be used on pachinko machines. #FucKonami

Awesome! but I think you can add a setup for graphics. My Geforce 820m struggles a lot with this T_T
Wow! this is really good, Ima have to make a youtube video on it if you don't mind!
When will you do the next levels?
When will you do the next levels?
Hi !
Could you release a linux version ? Unreal Engine 4 supports it.
Thanks !

"JoytoKey" and "Xpadder" allow you to map any Keyboard buttond and even Mouse movement to a Gamepad
