>>5963075I'm still fleshing the setting out but
It would be in 2199 (because it's really fucking hard to fit a game in because of everything between rondo of blood/dracula x and the light novel that takes place after dawn of sorrow) and you're trying to stop the new dark lord from fully claiming Dracula's power after there hasn't been anyone trying to claim the title in over 150 years.
I want to tackle a slightly futuristic world vs the very classical castlevania stuff, like how people used laser weaponry for a while before realizing that silver is just better. It won't be flying cars but it will be a slightly more technological world outside of some villages and more advanced cities. A big part of the setting progress vs classical means.
I'm trying to make some encounters so if you have any cool ideas please tell me. I don't want to JUST do iconic enemies and bosses or references to other games since I want to save those for special moments.
Character stuff:
One character would be a Belmont trying to prove himself among his peers since there's been peace for so long outside of some monster attacks. You'd play as him during the day and would be fighting monsters and saving civilians. You're also trying to find how to out reawaken the Vampire Killer from hibernation.
The other is basically Eve from tboi, since I think whore of babylon is a cool gimmick. You'd move at night since you're weaker at day unless forced to and would try draw blood to fuel dark magic in combat. She's trying to kill the dark lord to stop the curse from overtaking and killing her, and you'd fight both hunters and monsters while trying to make it to the castle. They're also going to be closely watched by a certain someone.
