Found https://oldweb.today today - it's a neat project where you can browse the web like it used to be (even using IE6, my most hated of browsers).

Naturally I went back in time to browse TSS: https://oldweb.today/?browser=ie6#20011201000000/http://acmefiles.com/tss/

Good times.

Merry Christmas my fellow Blahians! I hope life is treating you all well wherever you are

Happy Second Ye Olde Blah day!

I hope my fellow Blahians are doing well wherever life has taken you.

These are some great updates! Tiled is a really good map editor and I use it for my projects - I like that I can export data from Tiled in JSON and then convert this data to whatever format I need.

It's been a while since I last tried PhaserJS but I remember it being really good for sprite-based games. Might be worth giving it a try.

Can't wait to see more updates!

News story is now on the homepage - sorry it took so long!

Nice screenshots - this looks like it's coming along well and it definitely has a Shining Force feel to it!

Am I okay to post about this project on the homepage?

The chosen one has returned

How's things on planet Devlyn?

Battle ranges are now working properly. Land effects and movement profiles are all taken into account, so it's possible to have character classes that move faster or slower on certain terrains.

Attack ranges are now also working and are calculated using the character's equipment. Standard weapons like swords can axes target just adjacent squares, but there's also support for spears, bows, and other long-range attacks. And it will work for magic, too!

Sounds great!

Have you looked at the Shining Force Central disassembly project on GitHub? They have disassemblies of Shining Force, Shining Force II and Shining Force CD. I've used the SF2 one a couple of times to figure out stats and the scripting system used by the game.

The old times were the best. So much has happened since then; I moved to the US, Newts moved to Germany and Devlyn moved to the UK. Just a little bit of change there 

Wow, long time no see suckgas! The wheels are still turning here, just a little slower these days. How's things?

Where my YOBers at?

Battle range now works, mostly.

Still need to integrate land effects into the calculation. Movement profiles and land types are in game, and the calculator can use this data, I just need to hook it all up.

Oh, and it needs to flash too.

This is great! It's always good to see how other developers build things out and solve problems.

I'll put a post on the homepage about this. Am I ok to mirror the download on the site?

Looking good! Definitely getting a strong SF2 vibe from the map and it looks like it'll be fun to explore.

I don't have GameMaker, but I've put a post on the homepage to see if anyone can help out.
