CHANGELOG

1.8.0 - 2022-01-29

  • Added Simon's life count to the start menu
  • Added the fangs optional patch. Using this patch adds Dracula's fangs as a carry item, like silk bag or magic cross. When Simon buys or finds the fangs, he instantly is boosted to having 5 lives. After every continue, Simon will again start with 5 lives. It is currently NOT a required item to break the wall at Dracula's bridge, but this may change in the future.
  • Added the nomusic patch which disables all in-game music. Thanks kaelari!
  • Fixed the penalty-reduction bug that gives you 100 XP if you game over with more than 200 hearts. Sorry cheaters.
  • Fixed a small bug with the random Simon sprite selection. Thanks kaelari!

1.7.2 - 2021-11-18

  • Quick bug fix, needed to add a preview png for the random simon sprite

1.7.1 - 2021-11-18

  • Fixed red crystal merchant bug (ccompletely this time, thanks kaelari!)

1.7.0 - 2021-10-08

  • Fixed major bug where collecting the flame whip could screw up the crystal progression, leaving you soft-locked. Thanks kaelari for this one!
  • Minor touchups to the Paint It Black patch (Now even blacker!)
  • New Patches
    • gameboy - Modifies the game's color scale and tint to give a gameboy-like feel (Thanks burb!). Warning, probably won't play well with anything but the default color palette.

1.6.2 - 2021-03-19

  • Transfered ownership of repos from BloodSweatAndCode to my main github profile tonylukasavage. No game changes in this update.

1.5.1 - 2020-05-14

  • New Simon Sprites
    • Simon from Castlevania 1 (simon-cv1)
    • Trevor from Castlevania 3 (trevor)

Thanks aktraizer for the new sprites!

1.5.0

  • New Simon Sprites
    • Samus with Power Suit (samus-power-suit)
  • New optional door-rando patch! This shuffles all doors and entry locations in the game. This includes both town and mansion doors, so yes, Thorn Whip door could take you straight to Laruba! All expected logic is preserved.
  • New optional custom-text patch to add funny new text and a little personality to every actor in the game, including NPCs. This will likely become a core patch, but I want to rrun it through some seeds before making it official.

1.4.0 - 2020-03-23

  • New Simon Sprites
    • Bang from "Clash at Demonhead"
    • Simon The Elf
  • Updated Simon Sprites
    • Link from "Zelda 2"
    • Samus from "Metroid"
    • Simon Claus
  • All sprites in the patch/simon folder are loadable in the cv2r.com Sprite Maker via their index.json file
  • All patches can now be loaded directly from a file. For example, a custom simon sprite patch can be loaded via --simon /path/to/simon-patch.json. Or if you had a custom patch to load into a list, --patch 100-hearts,/path/to/custom-patch.js. Bear in mind this generally only works with patches that have no dependencies within the cv2r project. Useful for patch testing.
  • Patches can now be loaded not only as Javascript files (.js) but also now JSON files (.json). For example, .
  • All Simon sprite ids and descriptions are now listed when you execute cv2r --help from the CLI

1.3.2 - 2020-03-08

  • New Simon Sprites
    • Pit from "Kid Icarus"
    • Karnov from "Karnov"

1.3.1 - 2020-03-07

  • New Simon Sprites
    • Hero from "Crystalis"
    • Ryu Hayabusa from "Ninja Gaiden"

1.3.0 - 2020-03-06

  • Sprite Maker for easily creating new sprites for Simon available at https://cv2r.herokuapp.com/sprite-maker
  • New Simon Sprites
    • Mario from "Super Mario Bros."
    • Ghost Simon
  • Added authors to all sprites

1.2.1 - 2020-01-22

  • Add "Diamond Warp" difficulty to make it easier to select in website

1.2.0 - 2020-01-22

  • "Diamond warp" - If you own the magic cross AND have the diamond equipped, doing a select->up+a+b will not take you to Jova. It will instead take you to Bordia Mountains, otherwise known as "dead end swamp", the giant swamp that is very near Dracula's mansion. Diamond warp can be enabled as a patch in any custom difficulty seed. It has NOT been added to any default difficulties.
  • To go with the diamond warp ability, I also added diamond warp logic. This will be updated on the website documentation, but in short, having diamond and cross helps put Bodley and Doina in logic. Nothing to the left Bodley is in logic until you get red crystal, though, due to the lake you need to drain.

1.1.3 - 2020-01-01

  • Added Link from Zelda 2 as a playable sprite for Simon!
  • Added --simon option to allow you to change Simon's sprite. You can now use any sprite available for Simon without having to create a custom seed. This means selectable sprites will be choosable even in tournament and race settings. Will be selectable from the cv2r website.
  • Fixed uncommon logic bug (about 2% of the time) that would cause an error during ROM generation
  • Replaced ava test framework with mocha due to ava crashing during automated testing of ROM generation.

1.1.2 - 2019-12-13

  • Fixed logic bug that was creating unbeatable seeds on a regular basis
  • Added unit tests to verify that thousands of randomly generated seeds can be completed

1.1.1 - 2019-12-11

  • Glitch logic update: Change Bodley orb requirement from (HOLY_WATER || NAIL) && ((WHITE_CRYSTAL && BLUE_CRYSTAL && RED_CRYSTAL) || LAURELS) && OAK_STAKE to ((WHITE_CRYSTAL && BLUE_CRYSTAL && RED_CRYSTAL) || LAURELS) && OAK_STAKE. In other words, removed holy water or nail as a requirement for Bodley orb.

1.1.0 - 2019-12-11

  • Logic rework, supports full conditional logic now
  • New --logic option when generating seeds from CLI, also available on cv2r.herokuapp.com. You can now select from standard or glitch logic. Full explanation of requirements for each set of logic can be found on the docs site.
  • "Simon Claus" sprite for Simon, thanks to 2snek, just in time for the holidays!

1.0.4 - 2019-11-19

  • Fixed issues where moving platforms did not spawn in Debious Woods (flame whip dude screen) and the Yuba Lake (the road to Rover) by preventing projectile enemies from spawning there.

1.0.3 - 2019-11-13

  • ACTUALLY fixed easy seeds, no more price glitching

1.0.2 - 2019-11-12

  • Fixed bug with ring-marsh-immunity patch that caused all prices to be glitched and/or impossible to afford.
  • Fixed bug with cv2r.herokuapp.com where generating multiple seeds in a row would create corrupted ROMs, resulting in unexpected bugs and quirks in gameplay.

1.0.1 - 2019-11-11

  • Fixed bug in nail logic that sometimes created unbeatable seeds due to both nail and holy water being behind breakable block checks

1.0.0 - 2019-11-05

We made it boys! 1.0.0! Thank you to the awesome CV2R community for helping get this project to this point. I could not have done it without you guys!

  • Nail logic implemented
  • Patch to give Simon immunity to marshes when Dracula's ring is equipped. Activating this patch will also update the itemizer logic so that any check that required laurels can now be opened with laurels OR ring.
  • Difficulty updates
    • Easy difficulty now includes the ring marsh immunity patch
    • Created Elite difficulty with the following patch list
      • Enemy HP rando
      • Price rando
      • Quick kill disabled
      • Dracula fight downgrade (thorn whip and Simon level 2)
  • Implemented optional patches that can be applied BEFORE the core patches. This was necessary when implemeting the logic changes for the ring marsh immunity patch. Any optional patch can be made a pre-core patch by adding the property pre: true.

0.1.15 - 2019-10-02

  • "Samus" is a new experimental optional patch that lets you play as Samus, minus the Power Suit. Anything sharing Simon's palette (like HP and hearts) is gonna change to match Samus's colors, meaning lots of green.

0.1.14 - 2019-10-01

  • Fixed bug with invisible enemies patch filename

  • "Invisible Enemies" optional patch that, well, makes enemies invisible, including bosses!

0.1.12 - 2019-09-21

  • OHKO! Everything that does damage kills you in one hit. The lone exception is marshes, which still do the same amount of damage they always did. I may introduce a "OHKO Extreme" mode later where marshes also kill in one touch, but that would require logic changes to make everything left of Belasco Marsh require laurels, and that's a bigger change than I wanna make now.
  • Added sound to jovah warp (up+a)

0.1.11 - 2019-09-12

  • Fixed oak stake glitches by replacing its sprite with the dagger/knife sprite, since it's available on all sprite tables.

  • Fixed sprite glitch where visible sprite replaced the transparent "low priority" sprite in locations where there were marshes and dead hands.
  • Fixed intermittent sprite glitch that appeared on mansion spider's "line".
  • Fixed --help multi-line description output
  • Added --dev-force-enemy <enemyId:tableId> option to force only one type of enemy to be rendered in the randomizer. Useful for testing bugs related to specific enemies.

  • Added a tool for extracting sprite tables from a rom at tools/sprite-extract.js

0.1.5 - 2019-08-31

  • Huge refactor of patch system. Allows cv2r.com to generate roms with manually specified patches (using a comma-separated list with --patch), instead of relying entirely on the difficulty system.

0.1.4 - 2019-08-28

  • Camilla still drops bag, but Death is back to dropping golden knife due to the fact that the same sprite used for the drop AND all dagger/knife usage by Simon

0.1.3 - 2019-08-28

  • Boss drop sprites have been changed from golden knife and magic cross to be bags, like the ones inside orbs

0.1.2 - 2019-08-28

  • git tagging issue, no updates

0.1.1 - 2019-08-26

  • Rolled back ferry man jovah warp quirk fix, as it caused issues where you couldn't cross Dead River to Brahm's, even with heart equipped

0.1.0 (alpha) - 2019-08-25

We are officially alpha boys!

  • Fixed bug where bosses had randomized hp, which sometimes caused overflow values that gave Camilla extremely low HP
  • Fixed regression with jovah warp where the ferry man would be present in Jovah after warp
  • Safe guarding against sacred flame and secret merchants despawning by never using projectile enemies (fireballs, bones, or webs) in those screens

0.0.21 - 2019-08-24

Youtube video explaining 0.0.21 update

  • Crystal sale icons update progressively, so you see white crystal as a sales icon from a merchant if you have no crystal, blue if you have white, and red if you have blue.

  • SRAM usage has been documented in the README.
  • Actors will present "refuse text" if you've already acquired an item from them. It will currently say "NICE TRY SIMON". Additionally, merchants will have their sale icon replaced with an "X" and the sale price will become "9999" to prevent any confusion on attempting to repurchase an already acquired whip/crystal.

0.0.20 - 2019-08-17

  • Fixed bug with prices being too high (#54)
  • Updated difficulty settings to support cv2r.com
  • Added travis-ci support, all PRs run through linting and tests
  • Added code linting to enforce code style

  • update package.json to use the bin name cv2rando

0.0.17 - 2019-08-11

  • Added ability to have the cv2rando process dump the generated rom patch to stdout. This is used by the cv2r.com website, but can also be used by anyone who wants access to the patch file generated by the cv2rando process.

0.0.16 - 2019-08-06

  • cv2-rando is now fully patch-driven, including what was internal code like itemizer, enemizer, shared assembly subroutines like clear-objects, etc...
  • Added -d, --difficulty option for making reasonable groups of patches based on difficulty. For now the options are easy, standard, and hard. standard is the default setting.

  • Cleaner --debug output

0.0.15 - 2019-07-27
