About The Hardtype

Someone over at the House Show stream inquired about that Castlevania HardType ROM hack that I was working on, which is a surprise to learn that somebody remembers that thing. Well, I'd share some news here, but the truth is that I haven't really touched it all that much; what with the leg and the other stuff. But I'm hoping to change that soon.

I did get around to giving another quick playthrough and perhaps the time away benefitted in making a couple "key" changes to the enemy placement. Sometimes, overloading a stage with enemies isn't such a smart idea and makes the game more frustrating than fun. So I ended up toning it down a bit for a couple segments. Make no mistake; this is going to be a challenging romp one way or another, but it won't be balls to the wall, jump off a pier difficult.

In any event, I'd imagine a couple more spits and polishes before I deem it ready for some semblance of distribution. I'd imagine it goes up in October and I end up posting on Zophar, though I wouldn't mind making an attempt to submit this to that other Romhacking site.

We'll see on that camp.
