This was a game that always had issues with sound consistency, and it's on the list of improvements I'm rushing out for Halloween. Graphical overhaul notwithstanding, I'll be making a few quality-of-life adjustments too, such as widening the walk-able areas of some corridors and adjusting the efficacy of the stat boosting items too.
To friends long gone, and those I've yet to meet - thank you.

Cool!
In case you'd forgotten, one of more of the mp3/ogg tracks in Vampire's Curse had a sampling rate of something other than the normal 44.1kHz, which hit a bug in SDL_mixer, causing it/them to play at the wrong speed. (I think the built-in MP3 to OGG conversion would fix that).

Since the graphical enhancement to Vampire's Curse was more or less a success, I've been working on some newer quality of life enhancements that just weren't possible when the game was first released. One of the bigger complaints was that many areas were just swarming with enemies, while other places were completely devoid of encounters. The quickest solution has been to simply add MORE enemies to those places that were lacking, but the choices of foes have always been lacking.
Guess I should have seen these guys coming.

Oh, how I wish I could pixel as well as you, Fen...
Added more shading to the squirrel I put up a while back.

Werewolf? Collie? I don't care if it IS your house, put on some pants. And get a haircut. Hippie.

Wowzors.
I think that walktall Cthulhu actually looks menacing unlike his comical 20x20 version. But boy does he look thin in that portrait. I always imagined a bloated mass of tentacles underneath that robe.

Also, @Fenrir: despite how amazing your portrait sprites may be, I've still come to resent your avatar.

So I could use some advice. Which skin palette do you guys think works better, A or B? Or is the difference minute enough that it doesn't really make much of a difference?

Neat to see more Overgrowth. Nice enemy idea.
Depends on the climate. The ones on the right do well-suggest to me a sunny climate, the left have a European complexion/predicament.

I like palette B. Makes me think of natural lighting
Palette A seems more like office lighting

Is that a strangely shaped cranial scar? A wire embedded under the skin?

I yellowed it a bit with a hue&saturation filter, how about?
But the skin tone will depend where you live.

It's pretty hard to say. Palette B definitely has more contrast though, giving it a darker feel. I think it would make more sense for those to be indoor lighting and the others outdoor or more well lit areas. But I agree with what's said above, it depends on a lot of things like that.

Hmm, good points, I've been leaning a bit more towards B myself, guess I'll go with that palette. Thanks guys!

I think it more or less depends on the mood of the game, or that location in the game. "A" has a cooler tone overall and makes me feel like the setting is in maybe a dungeon or something. "B" has a warm tone which makes me feel like the setting is in a fire lit pub. I think both look equally good, just depends on location or mood of the game.
