The Shining Source

Added 4 new shots to the gallery (from the Christmas demo), and also 2 new works by Kusgam, including some rather lovely wallpaper!

Also added some more entries to the development diary, and changed 1 or 2 bits on the download page (okay, I changed 1 thing :P)

More updates coming soon…

Not a lot…

• Wrote some compression routines – shrinks maps up to 2% of their original size. Which is nice.
• Tested a few more online options.

That’s right, I even work on New Year’s Eve…

• Put in the new title screen, complete with menus.
• Improved load/saving.
• Added a character chooser.
• Played with some online stuff. It worked ;).
• Generally messed around with the code…

Ok, first things first…Demo 3 is now available for download! Simply hop on over to the download section, and grab a copy! It’s not really much of a demo to be honest, more of an engine test. Still, it’s a start :)

Of course, you should have noticed the new look, and also the new address. Hope you all like it :)

Well, have a very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. I’m off to get drunk…

Ok then, it’s available.

Get it from the new Shining Online site, over at http://www.shiningonline.org/.

Enjoy it, and Merry Christmas!
