Coz Im lazy, here’s the message McPhisto posted at Ye Olde Blah ;)
Here’s a little battle demo for people to try out:
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~clark4/svb1.zip
Now, it’s extremely buggy, unpolished, and incomplete. I just thought I should prove I’m still chipping away at this thing . If you could report on bugs, that’d be great. Just post em in this thread. Please don’t mention the graphics or sound – practically none of the gfx are going to make it into the final version, and I have other things to worry about at this stage.
I’ll add this demo to the TSS downloads later on and set up a local mirror for you guys :)
Some fellow named “Mitch” e-mailed me to inform me about his recent Shining Project endeavours.
One of them is a Shining Card Game, and the second is a Shining RPG. Both of the projects seem to be in a rather early stage, but the site looks interesting :P
Feel free to check it out or apply as a helper at http://www.deathgate.webhop.net/
Finally, there is something he had to say about this personally:
“The card game is going to take Less time to create – therefore I will be programming full force on it. I ALWAYS fully complete every project I undertake. My web site has lists of other projects I have done or have plans to do in the future.”
Thanks to nuckles87 from our affiliate Dreamflint for this contribution!
Apparently Sega is going to launch a new website about the upcoming Shining games on April 30th. The website, aptly named “Shining World” (*cough* ripoff :P *cough*) will feature information about three different Shining games, including Shining Tears and Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon.
Nuckles added the following about the possible third project:
“The other Shining games could very well be either the MMORPG Sega announced a few months ago, or an all new, original Shining adventure. Either way, this has left us with a lot to anticipate come E3.”
Sounds like we can expect a boom in the Shining scene (and a lot of ‘misguided’ people checking out Shining Force World for the official Shining info! ;)
We did heaps of stuff in the last few days, and although most of it has been behind the screen, there are also some visible enhancements. :)
First of all, we added a few projects and a couple of fresh downloads. Other than that there’s also a new logo in the linktous section and the admin section has been grossly improved, as the first functionality such as posting news and worklog entries has been implemented :).
Of course we’ll keep building and adding stuff :D. If you want us to add something in particular, feel free to add something to the todo list on the forum :)
After some talks with Ty, we decided that Catz really was tiring up and opened up the main site, even though it isn’t quite complete and ready yet.
The place is still full of errors and omissions, and I’m currently doing updates by hacking the database, but the situation should improve slightly over time.
Ty apparently had the impression that not many cared about the Shining Source, but I received several e-mails from different people myself, so I know better ;)
Either way, the beast is out and the new Source has started :)
