Since I'm just starting what I've decided to call "Shining Creation/Shining Force Creation", my SF fan game, I was wondering what the basics were for a Core Engine.  Not how to actually perform the task of creating the actual core engine, but just what should be in it.

I basically started out with the following:  Items(weapons, rings, condition/healing items, special items), stat increases.

I've hardly started, but I really don't understand what HAS to be in the engine.  I know of other things required in the game itself, but are what can these less "important" things be called.  It's all very confusing to me, and all I really want to know is what is most essential for starting this game?

EMF is cool.  There, your back on topic.

Well, like I said, I'll try anything.  Even if it doesn't work, I'm on the hunt for every game making program that can be found.

Second Pic is nice too, but what the hell is it supposed to be?  A gigantic house!? (Unless of course it's headquarters ) It would be better if both sets of graphics were ripped from the same game, too... :lol:

MJ lives everywhere, in the bowels of every child.  A little part of him, growing, and growing inside their tiny bellies.

I saw in your "3d Shining Force" forum that you mentioned how bad 2d worked when using Dark Basic.  I'm now having second thoughts, but I'll try it out anyway.  I'm big on trying anything possible to get the job done.  (And I'm not saying everyone else isn't)

I downloaded the demo version of MMF but I haven't really taken a good look at it yet.  I know what it could do after playing Shining Valor, and the program looks very promising because of what I had seen in this work-in-progress.

I had only just joined when you shut the old site down.  I think I had posted like once.  I left for a long while, came back, and found the Shining Source site was gone.
