The Shining Source

It’s been a fatally bloody while, but finally I can report _some_ amount of progress on SSC again :).

The past bunch of days I’ve largely busy with setting up an entity and sprite system, and basically the turn based movement -in its simplest form- is done. Instead of making a full game right away, my first intention is to set up a hot seat multiplayer battle engine. Of course it’s bloody easy, but I’m missing it a little in existing projects.

I might call it BABS 2, I might not. Heck, I might die tomorrow!

On a more inviting note: if there are any severely bored souls out there, feel free to contribute the project with a few tiles and sprites. You can easily use the existing SMEE 1.0 (and the PNG export option inside it) for the tiles, and a sprite template should be in that distribution as well ;).

And if you’re truly lazy: send your old crap over! I’m sure I’ll find a useful purpose for it :D.

Yes. It’s true. The admin team got their heads together last night, and we have thought of a way to release this game quite soon.

Of course, the game will not be completed, the world will continue to undergo expansion during this release period. But what we plan to give is a taste of the game to all those eager to try it.

We are currently working on the finalising of monster statistics, the construction of the entirity of south grans island, and the starting location. a few other matters need discussing also, but these will be ironed out soon I hope.

As this project continues to grow, i will also add any updates to the TRAP through devlyn.

With luck, this project will be released soon. i refuse to give a date, as there are many issues still under discussion.

That’s it for now.

Hello everyone,

I’ve posted an update for Dark Resurrection in the Project Section. There is important progress (Well, at least I think it is :) )

(just a quicky ….)

Congratulations Kaerou !!
