Lucretia - Demon Princess (鬼姫の呪い in Japan) NOW IN BETA TESTING

[nodtveidt]

Here's a new screenie of the game...



I did a quick check in PSP7 and it seems this image has 71 unique colors. This has ended up being quite a colorful game. This shot is still using the prototype Rhianna sprite, not Nando's new one, but whatever.

Those backgrounds look amazing! Nice job guys.

I may be able to help with betatesting.

[Punch]

That looks amazing! Who needs Magical Chase anyway.

Holy mackerel!  Looking nice!  Not sure if I want to offer to beta test, or just wait to enjoy it upon release. :/

ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN' GORGEOUS.

The surreal landscape evokes the same atmosphere as classic games, such as Shadow of the Beast (whatever one thinks of SotB, the art direction/atmosphere kicks ass).

Now, in Lucretia, a cute-em-up, I know the dramatic rolling hills are not going to emote the somber, brooding tension of, say, SotB, but LUCRETIA'S LANDSCAPES KICK ASS, SOUNDLY AND THOROUGHLY.

I honestly can't stop drooling.

Would the beta testers be playing on emulators or on hardware?

Wow, very beautiful bkackground !

Either/or... real hardware is preferable but correct emulators are also fine. Real hardware will show more of the line timing issue we've been having though... something that might not be resolvable as-is.

Here is a video that just tests the scrolling in stage 4:


There are graphical messups but that's to be expected. It has the same enemy loop as stage 1, but the VRAM map is slightly different so some of the sprites are wankered.

Here is the new Stage 1:



It is missing some elements but they will get added soon. Presently uploading a video of the new Stage 1 as well; it will take some time to upload to youtube but I'll post the URL to it when it's done.

I had a thought.  Is it possible to add a few more layers in the mist on the bottom, & give it an effect not unlike the 1st level of Air Zonk?  I feel like it screams for such an effect, & I assume that's all tiles, as there's no overlapping that I noticed??
