Hi all!
Despite my huge bouts of procrastination these days, I managed to add two fresh projects. :)
Much info about them is still lacking, but hopefully that’ll be added soon :).
Feel free to check them out (and their sites!).
On a side-note, as the amount of functionality is slowly increasing due to Ty’s hard work, I think it’s a good time to allow others access to the newsposting pages as well :). If any of the project people would like access as a news poster to the main site, please tell me on the Shining Source Discussion Forum, and I’ll add & inform you :).
IkitClaw released v1.3 to the Tatakai beta testers. Here’s the accompanying message. :)
Tatakai test release v1.3 has just been uploaded and testers have been notified.
Amongst other things, the new Tatakai has :
- experience for friendly magic – an overlooked feature has been added
- attack action always default selection – avoids accidental stay orders
- individual hero, monster and item SFX
- more flexible image definitions
- introduced town files making each town specific
- variable levels of monster AI
The structure of the resource files has been reworked, and individual town files have been added. I’m currently working on a richer town customisation, allowing shop stock to be set, and eventually have town walkabouts too !
Issues concerning display settings and changes still persist – I need to learn more about the variations behind DirectDraw…
If you want access to the beta as well, feel free to check out the Project page for more info :).
Edit: The Tatakai site has had an update as well. Feel free to check it out at http://kyonshi.co.uk/tatakai/
My apologies to Grom for putting this up so late. Here is the wisdom of Grom! :D
Firstly – we’ve added 3 more character profile pages to the SFTA World>Characters section on our website
http://sfta.sourceforge.net
and also, we’ve started up our HQ contest again, in which submitters get the chance to have a character named after them in SFTA, and have that character designed to their specifications.

On a side-note, I’ll be leaving for vacation for about a week, so expect updates to be a little scarcer than usual ;)
New Dark Resurrection screenshots have been added today. You can find more of them at the unofficial DR screenshot directory at:

Once more, enjoy :P
Shining Memory, a future sub-game of Dark Ressurection, has been released for playing by the public :).
It’s a DOS-game, so it may be tricky to get it running, or it may not ;).
You can find it in the downloads area. Enjoy!
