Hi everyone,
Ty just solved the password issues on the news posting accounts, so I can finally add in all those news posting accounts.
If you would like to be able to post your project news right on the TSS front page, be sure to leave a message on YOB or e-mail me at djgroen@science.uva.nl :)
Dev and I (and I’m the rest of you) have noticed a large decrease in the overall activity of the Shining Source scene over the last few months. Releases have been few and far between, and not a great deal of news either.
We’d like your input on a solution to the problem, so please spare us a few minutes and reply in the forum topic linked below.
We’d love to hear any thoughts you have on this matter!
3 new characters have been uploaded to the site, namely Jaedyn, Vincent and Karl. You can find them in the SFTA World > Characters section.
For those who dont know about this, its a simple contest in which people get the chance to submit ideas for HQ quotes for the characters. I will select my favourite 10 quotes submitted, and those stand a good chance of making it to the final game.
What do you get out of this ?
Well, after going through all the characters, Ill pick the all time favoured quote, and the person who submitted it will have a character named after him/her and will also have the character designed to his/her specifications.
Our usual venue of this contest will soon be undergoing a massive change, and the forum database will likely be unavailable to people like me after the change, so, in order to keep a good record of all the submitted quotes, id like you all to EMAIL them to me at the following address ::
Adam_Grom@Yahoo.co.uk
Thank you for reading, and have fun in the contest =]
Thanks to nuckles87 from our affiliate Dreamflint for this contribution!
Sega’s Shining Force Revival
Sega has been starting a Shining Force revival of sorts, announcing Shining Force and Shining Tears for PS2, and releasing Shining Soul 2, and the Shining Force remake “SF: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon” on GBA. Now, Sega has announced that there will be yet another Shining Force released.
“The new history of the Shining series starts today,” Takezaki said. “We’ve also begun planning for the next-next game (the fourth release).” He explained that he hopes to see no long breaks between future releases in the series, so that fans can keep following it on a regular basis.
So Shining Force fans, you can expect to see a lot more of your favorite RPG series later this year. For those of you new to the series, Shining Force was a strategy RPG released for the Genesis, and later the Saturn and the Game Gear. There have also been several spin offs to the series, the latest being two action RPGs, Shining Soul and Shining Tears.
An interesting development that will certainly have its effect on the Shining fangame scene, but I guess we can only wait and see as to what its impact will be :).
Any large news will certainly be posted here in due time, but feel free to check the DcD site for the latest updates on this :).
