I like much the music and graphic style, how prolific Matheus is

Mega Tomb of Dracula update! I've shifted a few things to the wish list as I don't have the money to pay for them.

My plan is to release a v1.0 free to download ROM. Should people enjoy it then I'll look to an enhanced v2.0 release via Kickstarter on cartridge with manual and case.

Close friends and those on my 2nd tier of Patreon will have early beta access.

v1.0 things left to do:
* Dialogue refinement / timing tweaks
* Testing / Bug fixes

v2.0 wish list
* Levels of difficulty
* Advanced enemy animations
* More enemies and locations
* Sound effects
* Music for: Battles, Start Screen, intro, ending, etc
* FMV Intro
* FMV ending

Amazing job!!!
Could you can make one of these FMV with the 32x hardware?
I still want to see the Full power of the 32x...

I've not got a 32x toolchain setup yet. It could support better compression but it has the same issues as the MD that it's restricted to a 24MEG cart without bank switching

Yep but the limit is *32MEG

Would be cool if you can do SEGA CD 32x FMV too

Ha thats a nightmare to do! Not even sure how you'd do it at the moment in time that cd drive is a nightmare

Would I be correct in saying that there aren't many people that understand how the CD system works? It seems that homebrew developers and emulator programmers have mostly avoided it so far. I know there are a few devs that have worked with it, but its relatively few.

Hey, really nice!

I was getting all excited there, wondering what would happen when Dracula showed up.

He'll do more in the final game the ai will be refined. Plus I no longer have the help of the original pixel artist so he may look different in future ☹️

is very cool the enemys animation, nice to see the new enemys

Hi MAtt! Artwork, sound, music and atmosphere is superb, but gameplay seems to get redundant quickly. All the doors you enter is almost the same 3 door screen, I would suggest something like treasures of tarmin on Intellivision, that was a simple random generated dungeon game and it was very fun, Just giving my 2 cents to be constructive, not to be a dick! This has lots of potential but as is i feel like it would get boring in a few minutes.

It looks really cool so far dude. What's the goal of the game? Does the player just have to just survive for as long as possible or does the player eventually kill Dracula?

It's very much a puzzler people focus on the battles too much. There are seven levels to navigate, the idea is to avoid as many monsters as possible by using the map screen which is offered every so often in exchange for stakes. On level 7 you find the exit. You're right tho PreZz game play does need some work! I think we'll be working to refine some extra game mechanics to keep the player involved
