golly gee i sure do love when the same exact person makes 46406984 accounts to reset their social standing and I gotta act like I don't know it's the same person because the community will think I'm paranoid, so I gotta keep being polite to them for free until the community finally wakes up

Added Maria and Annette. In the original Dracula X, Maria and Annette are just edits of Rondo Maria and Laura and are even further away from the Yamada art than Richter is. #pixelart

I tried to approximate Richter's and Dracula's sprites to the artwork by Akihiro Yamada used on Dracula X. #pixelart

Often is the case that, when a fan of an older game franchise tells me the creators intended the game to be silly or campy, I search it up and the creators are going "actually it was meant to be serious and played straight, but we had no money and we don't really like the final result"

Onimusha Way of the Sword is a blast but I'd be lying to you if I said it's very much "Onimusha". Sometimes I feel these grand franchise resurrections overcorrect on a direction that the thing loses its identity to varying degress (and here it was a significant degree)

I have a violently adverse reaction to any phrase that reads like "This piece of media I love is stupid and silly and campy and idiotic, but I love it" Just typing it out nearly made me puke

I see a few people telling Resident Evil fans complaining about Cregger's upcoming movie that "they hope nobody makes movie adaptations of RE ever again" I'm not sure these people understand they're cursing RE fans with a good time. A GREAT time even.

Leaving the view count registered before Youtube's change in view count takes place. The video slooooowly climbed up to 800k views. I wish it'd do a million before Belmont's Curse released but I'm satisfied!

Characters could powerup their subweapons 3 times. Lenora's spells became stronger with each powerup. These were not necessarily intended to be final. I had other plans that didn't come to pass. #pixelart

Actually I have a theory on what the problem is. Most of my followers are from the beginning of Bluesky. Most of them dropped out of this platform and returned to Twitter. My true engagement is small, consisting of people who remained here. And I have few followers from after that.

I should probably have started with the cathedral's front. The intro was supposed to be the people running away. Then, a child trips and falls. JUST as a Skeleton is about to kill the child, Julius jumps out of the cathedral and destroys it. Here though is just a presentation of the four heroes.

Mockups I made for the fan-game I tried to direct. It'll unfortunately not move forward. Here, Julius Belmont is walking towards the monster-infested city while the people run away. I hid a little reference among them. The cathedral is partly reference from one close to where I live (1/4)

Rapidly losing interest on Belmont's Curse Hopefully the game is the opposite of what I'm seeing, which can only be discovered when it's out. But it's not looking like it. Every new statement is WTF tier.

Eu assisti os videos da Luisa Sonsa falando dos jogos que ela gosta. Eu nunca consumi nada dessa mulher, eu só sei que é uma cantora e que ela existe. Depois de ver os vídeos eu pensei "Pq a internet odeia tanto essa mina, mesmo?" Coisa mais fofa do universo, transmitiu tanta honestidade

So you're a huge Castlevania 64 fan. One of the most famous facts about it is that this boy, named Malus, is the reincarnation of Dracula, and you know why he's called that: it means "Evil" in latin. Well here's the thing, I think that interpretation is just happenstance. Hear me out🧵
