I have finally started a website to host all my content, so feel free to bookmark and such.

So, I have released 3 new Castlevania stages.


Dracula X (SNES) - Castle Entrance

The castle entrance from stage 2. I made good use of deltas here to make the stage seem more realistic, or even SoTN style. While the original game has some nice sprites, they're often just single imaged backgrounds that have little to no depth. I tried fixing that with this and the other Dracula X stage. I also added shadows behind the pillars and some textures from SoTN. Also, walking zombies! Infinite loop stage.

Order of Ecclesia - Lighthouse

Pretty similar to the source stage. Animated water and moving sky. Not really much new here, but I aimed to have it very close to the original.

Dracula X (SNES) - Royal Armory

Another DX SNES stage. Similar methods as the castle entrance stage, this time with animated guards. Infinite loop stage.

Another OoE stage! This is pretty cool looking, and it is also animated. You can see the animated light of the flickering candles reflecting onto the statue, also there is an animated platform.

Well, enjoy! I'll definitely create some more Castlevania stages in the future.

I only tested this one because I saw your post in the recycle bin and wanted to see if you fixed your tiling problem. 
I'm glad to see that you did. 

Anyway, one thing to keep in mind when dealing with layerno =1 background images is that it is a good idea to have a copy of the sprite placed behind the fighters also. 

Certain characters remove layerno = 1 stage items when performing super moves and when that happens you can get the background smear effect momentarily.

Ah, I see what you mean. In this case I decided to update it to simply have that layer set to layerno = 0, just because I realize the ceiling looks ugly as a foreground for such a tiny stage. But in the future I'll keep what you said in mind.
