SFTA Phoenix Demo

Grom — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 21:00:44 +0000

Sorry about the lack of updates for SFTA … infact, there have been no updates to report at all … The project died late last year with the closure of the HQ contest.

However, the lead team has got together again, and we have a new found sense of determination to work more on SFTA.

The Characters Page and the Timeline Page will be updated within the next couple of weeks, and it brings me great pleasure to announce a new demo is in the works.

SFTA Phoenix Demo

Aptly named as it comes at a time of revival of the project, and is currently aimed to be completed by Easter 2005.

Sadly, I have no details about this new demo at present… Its safe to say it will expand upon the Tech-Demo which we released a while ago, as for a playable demo, we cant be sure.. Only time will tell.

As soon as I have more details, you guys will be the first to know right here @ TSS.

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.

SF:TA HQ contest part 3

Grom — Sat, 16 Oct 2004 00:12:17 +0000

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.

SFTA : HQ contest part III

Grom — Fri, 13 Aug 2004 18:28:24 +0000

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 =]
