The Shining Source

Hi all,

i will be taking about six months to a year off, so that i can solely work on the game fulltime, starting in july! That’s 10 weeks from now. This means i will progress much faster, and probably have a close to complete gameplay demo two or three months later. I hope the TV3D6.5 beta (3D Engine) will go public until then, otherwise i am not allowed to make a release :)

I was working on my editor during the weekends, so that’s halfway complete now. I decided to go with Softimage XSI for content creation, so the next step is to purchase that and integrate it into my working pipeline.

So i am kinda excited about dedicating more time to the game, then i can push it more. It’s gonna be awesome :)

Oh yeah, i am going to visit the E3 in Los Angeles this year, i’ll try to get some publisher’s adresses. Who cares if it’s utopic or not :)

From Daniel’s topic on the Shining Force Central Forums.

I’ve added many new features and a side quest:

During the 1000 year kingdom, an orb triumvirate was gathered to assist the forces of light. The orb of truth, the orb of light and the orb of darkness.

The orb of truth is in Stormsong Dungeon, the Orb of light in in the Guardanian vaults, and the orb of darkness was never found.

In an effort to make a lot of gold an become famous, you can track down the missing orb for the Destonia Empire, or steal all three orbs to take on a Vandal prince long imprisoned on Iom.

Here are a few more screenshots, BTW [Screenshots]
