Synival, the author of Shining MUD, got in touch to let me know that the project is now known as Tales of Harmonia:
Progress has been slow and steady, but productive. The to-do list is overwhelming, and new items are being added faster than I can check them off, but production is in full swing.
The project also has its own site, where you can get updates on development, browse screenshots and get instructions for playing: Tales of Harmonia.
Reddit user SimonLB posted some information (and lots of screenshots) about their Shining Force III inspired MUD.
This is Shining MUD, a project I’ve been working on for several years as a hobby project. It is currently in the Alpha stages, but mostly feature-complete. It is based on the Shining Force series for Genesis/Saturn, although it’s more like an RTS than a turn-based strategy game.
There’s lots more information in the reddit topic, and plenty of screenshots in the imgur.com gallery. It’s always a nice surprise to see new projects, so check out the topic and give some feedback :)
