Completed! Now discontinued.
I’ll be posting another project update every day, so if you’ve ever thought “what happened to…?” then keep an eye on the main site!
I added Zylokh’s Shining Odyssey project to the project list along with his latest demo (which dates back to December 2003).
After this release he did some reworking of the game graphics, but Zylokh expects to resume full progress during this summer.
Meanwhile: enjoy this release! :)
Job is well on his way with his new Shining Flash site, and is focussing on the development of his game once more!
The new site has many cool features, like access to three different Shining Flash Demo’s, but also the resurrection of Penn Pong! Also, the display is shorthand Shining Source News is rather nifty (seems like Ty did right by giving this site some xml functionality :D)
Anyway, go check his masterpiece out at http://vibrid.brinkster.net/shining/ :)
I received two e-mails from Mitch, containing some very interesting stuff!
First of all he did a remake of his site Death’s Gate to make the Shining stuff more accessible
In addition to that, he uploaded a “Trailer” (talking about a first!) of his Shining Project, which you can find here
But there’s more:
“I just started working on another project, the shining in the darkness type of game and i even have a reeaaally simple movement demo to show that it will be like the original. But it’s a sign of things to come. The program is going to load one main file which contains all of the dungeon information therefore I can make this game – completely customizeable.
people will be able to create they’re own game!”
The download is posted at http://www.deathsgate.com/sid.html.
Coz Im lazy, here’s the message McPhisto posted at Ye Olde Blah ;)
Here’s a little battle demo for people to try out:

Now, it’s extremely buggy, unpolished, and incomplete. I just thought I should prove I’m still chipping away at this thing . If you could report on bugs, that’d be great. Just post em in this thread. Please don’t mention the graphics or sound – practically none of the gfx are going to make it into the final version, and I have other things to worry about at this stage.
I’ll add this demo to the TSS downloads later on and set up a local mirror for you guys :)
