Hi people.
I stumbled upon a site with a few interesting gaming articles, and thought I’d post it here:
It’s good to have an account here again :P I still don’t have a proper job around the place, so I’m just doing general odds and ends, including this mammoth of a task.
I’ve lost track of the number and status of too many of the Shining style fangames recently, so I’m going to endeavour to start contacting as many of the Shining developers as I can to find out what’s going on.
If you’re a fangame developer with something to show for it, keep an eye on your inbox for word from me. Let me know how your project is going and I’ll post news about it on the main TSS page, so Shining Force fans the world over can find out more about your game.
First of all, I added Shining Force: The Awakening to the project list. It was about bloody time I did that :P
Second, for the first time known in the Shining Gaming Scene, a small scandal. Recently I’ve been posting about Mitch’s Shining Collectible Card Game project, but it has come to my attention that there might possibly be some unauthorized and uncredited rippage in this project! I’m currently investigating whether this is truly the case, but I’ll keep you posted on it!
More info on that can be found at here.
Finally, Newts has decided to compile a list of ALL projects and their current progress. We’ve just been naming every Shining Project and it turns out that there are over 20(!) Shining Style Projects these days!
Back when this site started in 2000, there were only 3 projects, so I guess this site has had a little use ;).
We did heaps of stuff in the last few days, and although most of it has been behind the screen, there are also some visible enhancements. :)
First of all, we added a few projects and a couple of fresh downloads. Other than that there’s also a new logo in the linktous section and the admin section has been grossly improved, as the first functionality such as posting news and worklog entries has been implemented :).
Of course we’ll keep building and adding stuff :D. If you want us to add something in particular, feel free to add something to the todo list on the forum :)
After some talks with Ty, we decided that Catz really was tiring up and opened up the main site, even though it isn’t quite complete and ready yet.
The place is still full of errors and omissions, and I’m currently doing updates by hacking the database, but the situation should improve slightly over time.
Ty apparently had the impression that not many cared about the Shining Source, but I received several e-mails from different people myself, so I know better ;)
Either way, the beast is out and the new Source has started :)
