The Shining Source

sadly, it seems the novelty of this contest has died out. So ive decided to end it here. The very few submissions i recieved for part 3 HAVE been saved and will be taken into consideration when deciding a winner.

As for the winner, s/he is yet to be decided. Ill talk to Develin and Produn about this, and hopefully we will come to some kind of agreement. The Winner will have a playable character named to their choosing and designed to their specifications for the game, they will also recieve a Shining Force Manga Phone card and a Shining game (probably SF:RotDD or Shining Tears) The runner-ups will recieve rare Shining Tears promotional fliers.

FYI, here is a complete list of possible contest winners. (nicknames from SFC)

Aldur, Amelie, Arc_the_Lad, Assassins, Cyric, Cyrus, Darksol, Dray, Fonzie, Frodo, Gritzcolin, Kaerou, Kyou, Lord of the Isles, Lorddarkstorm, Lost Soul, Lunar Eclipse, Noma, OmegaRed64, Ranz, Rayin, Rusty, Shining Wolf, Sniper, Stormskie, Sui, The tall guy, Torak, Triden, Undead Priestess, Voxpvoxd, Wildrosebc, Winged-Samurai, Wyndigo

stay tuned, the winner will be decided soon.

Our affiliate Shining Mania has now been shut down by its owner Redhawk. From the site:

This is Redhawk. yes the old owner of this joint. Sadly Shining Mania has been put down. I am terribly sorry to all of those who have worked on the project. I know some of you have worked really really hard on this. I am terribly disapointed that I have to leave this great project that was started in September.

It also appears that Redhawk himself is leaving the Shining scene for good, although he does hint at a return in the future.

Good luck for the future Red!

Today I received an invitation for the Shining Force Webring from Moogie, and agreed to join up with it, considering that the site could use some additional exposure!

This joinage is, however, unfortunately the direct cause of the (rather oogly) graphic in the bottom of the left menu. Rest assured though, Moogie promised a brand spanking new icon within a few weeks, which will be much smaller and pleasing for the eye.

Until then, I guess you’ll have to bear with us ;).

P.s. do NOT use it to browse the webring yet! Because, as it is, it’s rather layout-wrecking ;).

Hi guys,

It’s been a while, but I’ve got a useful update here :D

Peter Dale recently sent me some preliminary SHF2-related graphics for use by other developers. Hence, I decided to package them and add them to the T.R.A.P. project. The package consists of a bunch of tiles, a _lot_ of sprites and a good amount of items as well. All of these are resized to 32×32 pixels using 2xSAI.

Hopefully they will be of use to some of you! Also, I’m still looking for more graphical and sound resources to put up (especially battle animations).

On a final note, I’d like to thank Stordarth for this very nice contribution :)

Ya thats right, last time i announced this on the SFC forums, they were about to undergo a massive change, and so i decided to change the method of submission for the contest from posting in the thread to emailing me.

This was clearly an unpopular method, cos i recieved a grand total of … *drum roll*

ONE submission.

So, now that the new forums are up, and the SFTA site isnt plagued by some bug anymore, ive decided to re-announce this contest.
