:lol:

Very good - I like the Eurythmics being the soundtrack to Armageddon too.

The waterfall shot does look great - I'm a bit concerned they have buggered about with the battle system (and also the storyline from what Aspartate translated over on SFC) but that won't necessarily stop it being enjoyable. I cant wait for some more info

I hope so too!

I have got my copy of it now so I can start work - but I want to finish of my basic plotting first. Character design is well on the way though

However, I'm off to the Reading Festival for a few days - damn real life always getting in the way. Still, a weekend of musical goodness will aliveate my pain

Are you planning on keeping working with VB6 or are you considering a switch to C#?

I'm planning to switch to C#. I lost so much I would be practically starting over in VB so I think I'll do it in C#.

Waiting for the demo release in a few weeks... months

I should be able to stick to that - but it will be fromt he time I actually get hold of a copy of Visual Studio. I need to badger my friend into getting it...

I found .gifs lend themselves to Shining Force games very well since the characters 'march' on the spot all the time - which gave the whole thing a much more Shining feel without any of the effort of doing it programatically

Didn't know about the compression restriction thing tho  :?

Hi everyone

After reading the post about this place over at shiningforcecentral I thought I would try and post here a bit more regularly.

I was working on a project in VB6 and bugging people here about it intermittently but I lost a lot of what I'd done (which to be honest wasn't a huge amount) when my PC gave up the ghost. It also got sidetracked when I actually got a job and couldn't spend my days alternating between daytime TV and my fan game.

However, now I'm more settled at work I plan to start work on it again. Also, I'm currently attending a C# course this week - and can see plenty of application of the Object-oriented approach for my ideas.

I'm trying to get a copy of Visual Studio off my friend and when I do I hope to have a demo in a few weeks....months?  :wink:

Well - I'm a fair bit more optimistic than I was about it before.
