This project (Super Castlevania 3) wasn't been abandoned yet, one of the devs reappeared recently to apologize for the long hiatus and to say that they're still working on it. The other fangame that you mentioned is probably Castlevania Chronicles: Dracula's Curse. Last time I checked it wasn't looking that bad. Dunno if they're still active, though. Both of these projects were being made in MMF2, if I'm not mistaken. I think there's also a third fan-remake that was also called Super Castlevania 3, but that one was being made in GM8. Also seems like a dead project. Gamedeving as a hobby can be very time consuming, and if you're not very organized and disciplined it's really easy to get lost in the middle of the road. I say that from experience.
yeah it seems he did a lot. this is basically almost the whole game here. he definitely should continue. i like how it looks and plays. but sometimes i wish people put this level of effort into making something of their own. this is an amazing effort. i say this because once they finish making these games, the companies always comes with these cease and desist letters (which they have a right to do so) and it's sad because of all the work that was put into making it. i hope this gets finished and get released like that metroid 2 remake damn nintendo dropped the ball on that. they should have went to the creators, bought the game from them, repackaged it and sold it on the Nintendo E-shop
@@a.k.8195 I don't know about that one.. if you compare it to All-Stars, it doesn't hold up as well in terms of polish, and that's the idea with this type of release. I felt Gaiden was lackluster with both graphics and sound. I remember playing it and thinking, "Why'd they even bother with this game if they weren't going to put forth enough effort to set it far enough apart from the games it's supposed to be improving upon??" I suppose my entitled self should (and can) appreciate having the Trilogy, warts and all. I'd be happy enough to have such a Castlevania. Your idea is still valid; we'll take what we can get, right?
This looks awesome. I'm glad Alucard plays more like SOTN style, rather than the original Caslevania 3 style with that shitty 3-way fireball that did exactly zero damage.
as bad as I hate to admit it, SCV3 is officially dead. how do I know? bc I am reiko26 one of the creators with PT. the game was 85% complete. it died bc we kept having more dieas which added to it by trying to put curse of darkness chars in to make them fit and other remixed ideas. eventually we burned out. coders and other spriters left. so it stuck pete and I in a position to where we couldnt move forward. anyone that has it, is more than welcomed to carry the torch. the bosses are there and all the stages are complete. just needs the coding to be finished and there, youd have a complete fan remake
So close but so far away huh, that's too bad. Sounds like you didn't have a clear plan to the finish. Maybe one day you can pick up again, with new coders and spriters.
I hope a team is assembled to finish the project, it does look solid. I feel adding Curse of Darkness references wouldn't have been necessary. Keep us posted as to whether or not someone does this or not.
I like this version simply due to the fact it combines aspects of the future castlevania games after this, like the Horse Rider, Golem, and the mansion from CV2.
Makes me shed many tears... Great memories playing this GREAT GAME!!! The music always was amazing! Glad im a guitarist able to pick the compositions apart. Phenominal stuff!!
*That's pretty cool. I was hoping to see some classic bosses with redone sprites. My only small complain is the main character's death pose.. lol.. .. ✅😁*
Konami sadly still owns it, but their idea of utilizing the license now is slapping it on a pachinko machine these days versus making a new game in the series. Konami in general sucks ass nowadays.
this is a great remake using strengths and sprites from my favorite castlevanias. I'm happy to see a little super castlevania mixed with genesis bloodlines
God DAMN it is so nice seeing THAT Alucard in Castlevania III. This is a remake that Konami SHOULD have made. So terrible that it's a game that will probably be near-complete, then get hit with some filthy cease and desist.
@@DesertRainReads yeah, and he got his work out in the wild and made a name for himself. They may have stopped him from distributing any new versions, but the one we have will never go away as long as the internet exists and our backup drives stay safe. I know I'm gonna hang onto my files forever, cause it's a damn good game.
THIS LOOKS AWSOME! It has enemies and stags from all 4 original Castlevania gamee like enemies, stags and music , along with some new stuff so never know what to expect. This is how remakes should be made.
The Nostalgia Factor The sprites of Trevor, Alucard, and many of the enemies were from both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. (I think Trevor, Alucard, and Sypha are exclusive to SotN)
That “The Beginning” track that was used in this remake is godly. Definitely need to know where they got it from or if it was made just for the fan made game
Nelson Vieira After hearing the Rondo of Blood version and comparing the two, unfortunately it’s not the same song. However, since this fan game borrows tracks from other Castlevania games (such as the second stage using the Forest of Monsters track for Super Castlevania 4) I would assume the first level is borrowing The Beginning track from an official Castlevania game as well. Question is, which one though?
@@CallMeSugarMilk Not sure, honestly havent played them all. It would be cool tho if there was an option in the game to use the original 8bit song. IMO Vampire killer is still the best version on the original Castlevania, along with Bloody Tears from CV2. However music box Vampire Killer is pretty epic as it gives it a creepier feel :)
Way better than the clunky, poorly aged NES version. I know a lot of people like that game, and it did have good ideas, but I think it was held back by a few problems. You can play as more than one character, but you could only take one extra character at a time (probably hardware limitations, but still inexcusable), everybody BUT Trevor could die in a matter of seconds because Trevor can take a few more hits for some reason, the difficulty was so bad because of how inconsistent it was, and for some god forsaken reason, only Grant had the most fluent control scheme, whereas everyone else controlled like pieces of wood. I'm just glad to see that someone made a version of the game that doesn't suffer from those glaring flaws. 9/10
He was just having fun with it. I personally appreciated the humor to break up the monotony of the Let's Play. I don't think there was anything of a political nature intended by that clip to begin with.
You would mean no shitty Castlevania standards. 🤔😁 Seriously, James Rolfe explains very good this point, and it is really a relief when you realize that you weren't the only one kid frustrated for too many games.
@@Dislike-kq9uq I was expecting CV3 with CV3 difficulty (maybe add an easy mode if desired) and level design, yet with upgraded graphics. Pretty obvious he started getting bored copying CV3 levels and started mixing up new level design after a few screens because he starts copying CV2, CV4, and other games before we're even out of the first level. I hoped he'd at least recreate the iconic stained glass (which required a special graphics chip back in the day) but instead he just did random colors. Hey if he wants to make a Castlevania megamix that's awesome and I know people would play it, but don't call it CV3 remastered if it's a completely different game.
I've had this demo for years, as well.... SCV4 was my favorite classic Castlevania, and this is going to be amazing if they finish it! I'm glad its gone quiet; less of a chance for any legal teams to notice it. Good work everyone!
So this is MMF2? Is Construct 2 similar? Also may I ask where you got those mansion backgrounds from? (the stage where you keep dying to the purple dragon dudes) Looks very similar to what was in the old Super Vampire Killer builds (the stage where you keep dying to the purple dragon dudes)
Great video, I really want an Aria of sorrow remake. Aria of Sorrow is an amazing game but you can't deny it wasn't quite as good as it could have been because it had to be a GBA game. Graphically I want a game that looks like your playing Ayami Kojima's art.
Some people blame Super Castlevania 4's 8-way whip as to that games easy difficulty. It can break the game if the enemies aren't changed to compensate for the new mechanic.

Never too late....wouldn't count on it though.

Wow of all the fan games, this actually feels like Castlevania, props to the team working on it. Good use of assets. This looks like it was official.
The music is blowing my mind!
Joseph Freese some is the original some is from 4
No "Mad Forest" on the second level??
Any way to find the first level music?

This is like all the great features from the entire Classicvania series all in one game.
Yea Using the SotN model design of the character is real good!
would love to see this finished! there is so much raw talent out there. Keep up the Great work!!!!
LOL @19:53.... What the hell??🤣
Dracula was here
man i wish this was a full game available on a console. i would buy it
Shane Mason me too! Such a shame castlevania has been put on the back burner (don't even know who owns it anymore).

this is a great remake using strengths and sprites from my favorite castlevanias. I'm happy to see a little super castlevania mixed with genesis bloodlines
I love Castlevania themes like these one's. Makes me feel motivated to better myself.
A Super Castlevania 4 take on Castlevania 3! I love it, the gameplay, the enhanced music, all of it. Would definitely play this when finished.
I like the Gothic text at the end of every level
Take my money. C3 was my favorite. That 1st level was insane I felt like I was in Romania in the middle of the night.
Love this! One of my most fav games from the nes.
19:51 NO! I'm gonna revive that ass!
Lol
Great job! However, I have one question: why did you replace Mad Forest by The Forest Of Monsters?
Looks amazing! Can't wait to play it!
Fantastic work thus far! Please keep us up-to-date on the progress!
Do love that the Developers Incorporated the multidirectional whip
this is the most promising Castlevania III remake I've seen, please keep working on it, good luck!
God DAMN it is so nice seeing THAT Alucard in Castlevania III. This is a remake that Konami SHOULD have made. So terrible that it's a game that will probably be near-complete, then get hit with some filthy cease and desist.
Given what happened to the Metriod 2 fan remake and Nintendo. That would not surprise me.
darkwzrd4 the guy who made AM2R isn't mad though considering Metroid: Samus Return is a thing and it is real.
^FUCKING. THIS.

what's a Cease and Desist... is that a legal term
What a great and epic sound effect when the bat 🦇 is hit with the whip.
I like how the zombies sway to the music
Looks and sounds awesome! Hope they continue work on it.
I'd love if this game got remade fully. Whoever is making it, don't stop. Looks good so far.
THIS LOOKS AWSOME! It has enemies and stags from all 4 original Castlevania gamee like enemies, stags and music , along with some new stuff so never know what to expect. This is how remakes should be made.
At 19.49 I literally spit my water at my monitor. Too funny.
Just the soundtrack on that first minute is awesome.
Castlevania IV quality graphics, gameplay, and sounds in Castlevania III? I like it a lot.
Looks more like Rondo of Blood graphics to me with the gameplay/control scheme of Super Castlevania IV...
The Nostalgia Factor The sprites of Trevor, Alucard, and many of the enemies were from both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. (I think Trevor, Alucard, and Sypha are exclusive to SotN)
Not surprised he's using IV's music in the 2nd level, it's great music.
