Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - Veemon Julius Mode
By: PixelKnightCallum

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very basic ROM hack of Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow that I created as a form of practice, to get used to the tools in place for ROMhacking the DSVania's and to see if I could stick with a project to completion.

This ZIP file contains a .xdelta patch file, and requires a dump or ROM of the original game to patch.

Requires the US version of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

About the hack:

This ROM hack edits the games JULIUS MODE to include Veemon from Digimon, all Julius sprites and animations have been replaced with Veemon using what I could find from various game sprites, hitboxes have been amended to match the new size of the character, and the signature Vampire Killer whip has been replaced with a Kaiser Knuckle-esque attack more befitting of Veemon.

I have also replaced the subweapons to better match the character, some have simply received amended colours or sprites, while others have been replaced with other abilities you would find in a Soma playthrough. On top of this both the sound effects for the character have been amended as well as dialogue text rewritten (kinda cringey though... apologies.)

As this is my first attempt at a hack, there are some minor graphical issues, such as the breath effect in the first area still coming from where Julius' head usually would be, and the awfully Veemon-coloured Julius in the end screen.

The game has been played through on Julius Mode and completed, but if there are any bugs or issues please notify me and I will see if I can fix them. My Discord ID is PixelKnight#5802

Many thanks if you have read this far, I worked hard on this, and despite it being a personal project, I would love to see or hear about people trying this out and enjoying it ^^
