Dear lord. This is /such/ a good idea. The only thing that literaly could improve upon this map is a greater variety of monsters, and that's the programs issue, not yours. Thanks for the fantastic map. It is providing me with many hours of entertainment.
This map was pretty awesome. Everything about it was nostalgic. Just the basic map format, reminded me so much of the early castlevania games. Playing this while listening to Bloody Tears?

The map plays very well, especially on hard mode, with everything being a threat, but just barely possible.
All the bosses are very unique but I think they could be a bit more difficult.
Taking an ode to some other ADV maps, keep the pixel art, but stuff some dispensers with mob eggs in em, to summon minions.
Or for Medusa, she could spit out fire balls. That would keep me on my toes!
The notes were a bit of a drawback, since English is not your first language, or at least, so it seems.
So i'll let that slide
Everything just feels nice, overall.
There were only a few drawbacks in my opinion.
The notes were formatted oddly. (I don't mean the Grammar or Spelling either!)
When I opened it I had to scroll to the left and right to read.
Try and re-format them so they are all easily read vertically. It saves time and its easier on the eyes.
(You can also easily correct this once books come out in the next update of minecraft)
Some of the signs really took away from the game.
Its up to you if you want to be more fun,
or more serious.
The signs aren't necessarily bad, however they take away from the atmosphere.
That one is up to you, when you take away the atmosphere what you have left is a fun game.
When you have an atmosphere its a bit more Rpish, and immersive. AKA = More serious
Your choice.
I also recommend adding some music in the download folder. I personally played Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer
However you could also use something like Bloodlines.
That's all I really had to say about your map.
As for your next map, I'd recommend something more along the lines of Symphony of the Night (My favorite Castlevania game)
A bit more of a free-roam and a bit more of an RPG aspect.
In fact while playing this map, I used an Alucard skin. Sorry Belmont family ;~;
If your looking for any inspiration,
I'd say give a nice look through,
Castlevania - BloodMoon (Another Castlevania ADV map)
And
Criswelvania ( Castlevania ADV map, however this one is a bit more interesting. It makes it's own story and abandons a lot of Castlevania's traditional aspects. Definitely worth a play.)
Well, I hope you enjoyed this short novel I wrote about your map ;P keep up the work~!

the irony..slyslasher told me he made blood moon for two reasons the love for Castlevania and my map, for you to tell me to get inspiration from blood moon is mind blowing hehe
and Criswelvania for a long time i considered to be a rival because i felt his map put mine on a shadow, but then it was kind of unfair for me to think such things so i let it pass XD
originaly the custom map had no signs, but people started to get confused on what to do, where to go and what was their objective, the only reason signs are around are for the people who dont know anything about castlevania, but things got complicated when i added bosses i had to explain how you could possibly defeat them, because people started cheating and skipping the bosses completly
but then the stages had like 6 signs all around the walls, i didnt like that so i started making Notes instead...however your right english isnt my first language so grammar and other issues started happening
so overall nothing i do is ever right, i try to fix it but then another problem happens i tried to satisfy both veteran castlevania fans and newcomers but either way i still dont please anyone, this is actually why i stopped making the 2nd custom map because i just felt i would dissapoint everyone again and the map wouldnt be any good at all, since even blood moon is doing better than mine now,
i appreciate the compliments you gave me and the suggestions if anything i would do is add music, because removing the signs i would get someone ( or watch a video of someone ) having no clue what to do and telling me to explain them whats going on....as for the format the books will help me a lot and thats when the next update will come, but for now this is the best i can do....and im still disappointed that its never enough >:
Hi dyz 69 i have already posted in the texure pack forum and said my his and such but hi again, i wanna know, what happened to the other map you were making, can't seem to find it on this forum:( could you tell me?
I fully support you making a 2nd map of castlevania, i think you should get the level design from Castlevania III, i am actually finished with my Blood Moon map, i am also making my 2nd map, i hope we can work together thru skype or something. I would love to see a second map.

Hello again albert, i missed you friend >: i seen your youtube videos and left a like on them since i havent had much time to leave a comment, but its very nice to see you around here too.
As for the 2nd map i deleted it from my mediafire and i also removed it from the forums, the main reason is because its outdated and the second is because i lost all motivation for it, i feel dissapointed and sad because when i finished this map it wasnt recieved with the attention i thought it would get which i didnt minded at the time since a lot of people from Minecraft did told me they knew nothing about castlevania
but....a person named DJNario made a castlevania map too if you search "Castlevania Minecraft" you will see it, his exploded with attention Konami gave him a shout out and even Konami, when i noticed this i felt my spirit break, because i worked very hard on my custom map, yet mine was left in the shadow while his was praised to an imense honor, this is why i stopped on the 2nd map because i felt "whats the point? nothing i do will ever go viral" so yeah....big dismotivation >: though hearing for you cheered me up thanks old friend :'3

i was actually going for that, the 2nd map was going to be an open world, you get to select the stages you want to go trough and when to adventure into those lands some stages would be 2-D and others would be 3-D, there would be less mob fighting but include puzzles now insteads it would have the CV 3 option to select your own path and explore different stages as the landscape even changes
but i lost a lot of motivation after noticing anything i do, just isnt noticed or succesful regardless of how much effort i added
the only time i felt like this was in Planetminecraft where my CV texture pack exploded, and a lot of people liked it, that is my one success i wont forget
but if my job goes well and everything i would like to help you with your 2nd map, because a lot of people really liked what your doing even i do except i kind of rage to quickly hehe XD im kind of terrible at an extreme sense of combat but it get the heart pumping so you are doing what you promise hehe, either way thanks for commenting here and keeping this undead horse kicking a little bit, because i have lost faith in my custom maps >:

One of my favorite custom maps! I had a lot of fun, and the texture pack really helped. I actually nicked the zombie+skeletons and put them in my personal painterly pack because I liked their look so much.
I checked out this guys map. i think you did much better, i think the only reason he got more attention is because of his video editing yo be honest, you know? and also, he using your texture pack! WHAT THE **** he barley even give credit in the description of the video even gave you credit my god and he modifies it this guy got me pissed you know? but it says you gave permission, did you or did you not know about the map? it seems like he should give you more credit I feel like making a video response of something of you map and send it to konami man because you seem to have been working longer, and harder on the texture pack and map i feel sorry man, keep the good work up
Just played the map WOW he left it in creative, n00b!!! ya your is much better the texture pack is messed up i don't like it your's is much better man idk why he got every thing you didn't. i feel like he took your work and used his video editing to make his map seem better, man we need to learn better video editing!! then we can get this guy and get konamis attention

hehe thank you for playing my map and even more that you enjoyed it, oh and thanks for letting me the know my zombies and skeletons made their way into your texture pack, thanks again for the support i appreciate it :3

yes actually i did gave Nario permission to use my texture pack and for him to edit the pack too, the pack is only good for his map, while i did my texture pack to work with minecraft not just a custom map, as for the credit being mentioned at the end of the video and description not sure how else he could give me more credit i dont mind that,
as for my map yeah i wish i had a really good video showing everything my map has plus my texture pack, i would love some konami comments heheh but oh wells gotta work on that video i guess
yeah he screwed up on that and also it is built in "the End" so even if you change it to survival with Tomanyitems mod, theres going to be no mobs to fight just endermen walking around
i feel the same my map and texture pack should have been enough to recieve a lot of attention and even today i wonder how his video went viral and mine never did, im gonna try working on a well editted video and see how it goes with that :3 thanks for commenting albert X3

Well he could have put a link, or AT LEST the name of the pack because just puttin' the name of your account is not good to find your pack you know? and ya even if i wanted to play his map it is in creative and at the end so i can't lol. i still think you could have gottin' more credit all he put its buy dyz/ultimateeve he could have put castlevania collection because like i said i can't find you map with just dyz69. any way i think the video editing is the reason his video went virl is because of the editing and the different camera angels so try some new software i gess i use sony vages but you have to pay for that but there are ways to get for free by pirating the software like i did lol but as always see you latter -Albert

i have mods that work to make what he did so i think im going to go with that but other than that, thanks for giving me positive feedback on a side note, remember you ask me what happen to the 2nd map i was making? well heres a preview for everyone to see
Check this out, i made a new video with links to that video for your support of the new map
thank you very much albert, im surprised to see you jump back in to the castlevania map again, after you defeated it a million times by now hehe XD next update im going to make it more fresh and even more like the NES castlevania, after that i will make more videos about my map to get it more attention maybe hoping support comes to the new map :3
anyways thanks again man and i appreciate the support X3
thank you all the people who supported me albert, sly slasher, terrivel and Taku
i have currently open a new topic thread with the fixed map, but the downside is i removed all of the secret rooms so no more cookie collecting >:, if you explore you may still find them as i may do something with them for when 1.3 comes out which i will update the map one more time to include a lot of these features and a new final boss that will take place on "The End" but not to fight the enderdragon im making another boss, this is because suposedly in 1.3 if you fire arrows into pressure plates it will activate them so no more paintings to trigger explosions :3 oh i didnt post the link XD i will update the OP and heres the link to the new thread
Oh, I'm really sorry, :C
Can't wait to go through the map again and then go looking for secrets, good luck to me!

The map plays very well, especially on hard mode, with everything being a threat, but just barely possible.
All the bosses are very unique but I think they could be a bit more difficult.
Taking an ode to some other ADV maps, keep the pixel art, but stuff some dispensers with mob eggs in em, to summon minions.
Or for Medusa, she could spit out fire balls. That would keep me on my toes!
The notes were a bit of a drawback, since English is not your first language, or at least, so it seems.
So i'll let that slide
Everything just feels nice, overall.
There were only a few drawbacks in my opinion.
The notes were formatted oddly. (I don't mean the Grammar or Spelling either!)
When I opened it I had to scroll to the left and right to read.
Try and re-format them so they are all easily read vertically. It saves time and its easier on the eyes.
(You can also easily correct this once books come out in the next update of minecraft)
Some of the signs really took away from the game.
Its up to you if you want to be more fun,
or more serious.
The signs aren't necessarily bad, however they take away from the atmosphere.
That one is up to you, when you take away the atmosphere what you have left is a fun game.
When you have an atmosphere its a bit more Rpish, and immersive. AKA = More serious
Your choice.
I also recommend adding some music in the download folder. I personally played Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer
However you could also use something like Bloodlines.
That's all I really had to say about your map.
As for your next map, I'd recommend something more along the lines of Symphony of the Night (My favorite Castlevania game)
A bit more of a free-roam and a bit more of an RPG aspect.
In fact while playing this map, I used an Alucard skin. Sorry Belmont family ;~;
If your looking for any inspiration,
I'd say give a nice look through,
