It's no surprise to anyone that CastleVania Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel of CastleVania Bloodlines of the mega-drive, but it fails to look like its predecessor, And this Hack aims to fix that, putting new Songs, Weapons, mechanics, graphics and more!
This hack has three patches. The first patch,
is the original and contains changes to music, equipment, subweapons, and
enemy palettes, in order to make CVPOR more like Bloodlines. it is
not really mentioned as a sequel to Bloodlines, but all of the story says
it should be. This original idea was made by Redpack (RP). The first
patch contains content by Redapck. This is how CVPOBL was intended.
The second patch contains more enemy palette changes, new palettes for
Jonathan and Char to match those od John Morris and Eric LeCarde, some
changes to equipment values, a new model for a certain weapon, and a
new weapon usable by Jonathan and Charlotte. All additions for this patch
were recommended to RP by StarWyvern (SW).
The third patch contains everything that the second patch contains, say for
a few MAJOR changes. BIG Equipment Boost. Richter is replaced by Sonia.
Maria is replaced by Carrie Fernadez. (Credits to Serio, Drameloch, Iamme,
for sprites and DF) Some of the enemy palettes are reverted. Alot of time
time and effort went in to making this hack with the interest of all CV
fans in mind. This hack would not be possible if not for the skill,
expertise, and wisdom of the following people:
Gems Sprites by TheLV
Songs, Hacking, Hellhound, New Items, Fixes and Extra Patches by StarWyvern
New Enemies Palette by RedPack007 (Some by StarWyvern)
New Sub-Weapons Sprites, New Dracula Palette and Eric Event actor Palette by RedPack007
Undulating Whip made by Serbagz and imported by RedPack007 with advice and help from
KainReaver(Thanks Serbagz and KainReaver!)
And a big Thanks to Xavier Belmont for Suggesting and supporting the Mod from the beginning, for VK2212 for testing the newer Roms, a big Thanks to Serbagz, T-800, Ben, and (Clare) for helping StarWyvern in his SW Alt patch and putting new content.
