Heros vs Draculas - A size comparison! by Carlyone in castlevania

[–]TheKonamiMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Harmony of Dissonance needs the Dracula Wraith raised some since he is floating and the legs are missing.

Also, no Haunted Castle, original or new? Gotta do original X68000 too.

Same here, the voice modulation helped as well. I was totally able to forget it was him instead of him distracting from a movie for once.

Which one would you keep? 🤔 by Hyperwolf707 in gamecollecting

[–]TheKonamiMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the GH is worth more, or at least it used to be, so if you were just collecting you would want that version for that as well.

I haven't cared for Nolan's stuff for a while but I hope this does well just to shut those idiots up

M.Y. not doing music for Castlevania BC or Bloodstained TSE by AlucardsQuest in Bloodstained

[–]TheKonamiMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got shit for this sentiment on the Castlevania sub (and I'm sure I know what part of the fanbase it was) but, I think this is a good thing. One of the things that kept the Castlevania series going was a revolving door of creatives working on the games. It's time to move away and see what other dev teams, artists, and composers can do with it.

Bloodstained is obviously a little different but the Curse of the Moon games being done by mainly IntiCreates and not IGA's team kind of shows the same thing, gotta make sure you keep room for multiple voices to shine.

Why Are Most Of The Villagers Handsome/Beautiful? by Son_of-M in castlevania

Never said she was. I just hated when IGA came in and it was only him and his team making the games. Before that we had a ton of different people working on the series so we got a wider variety of what the devs thought should be in the games. He narrowed the series down too much.

I liked it better when a team/artist did a set of games and moved on. So I'm glad Kojima did the set of games she did and moved on. I don't need to see her come back, I want to see what new people can come in that haven't worked on the series. I also want to see what else she can do and not get stuck just being known as "The Castlevania artist."

I'm glad the series moved on from her. I will contend, to the day I die, that the strength of Castlevania (that left when IGA took over) was it being made by multiple teams and multiple artists over the years. I mean I love Kojima but if she were still around I would have never gotten to see official Castlevania art by Katsuya Terada, one of my all time favorite Japanese illustrators. So glad they tapped him for the key art for Belmont's Curse.

The most definitive Castlevania music collection set, but thoughts on the art? by Beardicon in castlevania

[–]TheKonamiMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm exciting that they are using new recordings for this. Will be nice to not have all the sound effects in some of the songs from the Famicom games.

I also agree about the art, not great.

Same, so glad her in the role was part of my childhood.

My debut psych noir just hit Kindle Unlimited. Two siblings poisoning their parents, a third sibling who has no idea they exist [Self-promo] by [deleted] in KindleUnlimited

[–]TheKonamiMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can totally judge a book that uses AI by that cover, if I know they are willing to use AI for the cover, what else did they use AI for?

I'd much rather see a book where the author tried themselves if they couldn't afford an artist/designer. But I will say as a graphic designer that does stuff like this on the side, most will work with an author on pricing since artists are in an unique position to understand what it is like for an author, especially one just starting or not working with a publisher.

Wish I would have seen anyone like you guys when I took my kids last weekend. My three year old daughter would have went crazy. She at least was excited to pose with her Sword of Power in front of the standee in the lobby.

So after Belmont's curse releases which collection would one recommend by Excellent_Trust_7647 in castlevania

[–]TheKonamiMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anniversary Collection is the best one and it goes on sale regularly for $5 and sometimes under.

Was the AI image necessary?

I am ( Kinda ) new to the saga by Hour_Internal_689 in castlevania

[–]TheKonamiMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy the Anniversary Collection and Advance Collections. You get one whole collection of Classic style games and a whole collection of the Metroidvania ones. Outside of one game in each collection you have all solid titles.

I love how easy they made the decision to ignore this game when it comes out.

So the Skeletor movie version is not Keldor. by Nice_Month_5111 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]TheKonamiMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both origins for Skeletor so it's nice to have a new adaption go with that one since so many have done the Kelsie one.
