The Shining Source

I'm stumped, where did you come up with Normal99.....it's Noma.  Anyway, I'll have some graphics for you later.

Sory, It's the Bold Font. My Video Card has some blurring problems at high resolutions when it's at low Refresh Rates.

Hi Akir,

You might want to try out an old game of mine, it might give you inspiration as well as it contains two battle engines on its own .

You can find it at: http://www.shiningsource.net/releases.php?id=3

There's one very buggy map with screwn up camerawork, but if you walk to the upper right corner, you can easily continue .

I'm doing some charicter development right now. I'm going to need everyone's help on this one. What I need is a list of your faverate people, and why. thanks.

You mean kind of characters we like?

Well, if you could include a Seolean cameo, that'd be fun

Here's some old fanart from old fans that might give you an idea:

No I mean people. like Jim Carry, Sean Connery, Shaquil O'Neal....


By the way, do any of you know Yasunori Mitsuda, Motoi Sakuraba, or Dai Nagao? If you do, convince them that they should compose some music for us :-)

Might I ask why you want us to tell you our favourite celebrities? Is Project Candlelight going to be a celebrity simulator?

Also, I asked Matsuda and he said he was busy. Sakuraba hasn't called me back yet and I haven't spoken to Nagao in over twenty years.

It's not a celebrity simulator (I'm trying not to make this M rated)! I just need to know what traits that the Charicters should have.

I'm supprised that you know who Dai Nagao is. Go ans see him and ask if he can score me a date with Tomiko Van :-)

But seriously, we will eventually need musicians.





I should really focus on game structure now...

An Idea for a plot item:

All the while, the world is devided in three: one led by Lucifer, another by "Zeehon," and another by "Shadow Dragon." (Don't know who Zeehon or Shadow Dragon is? to find out Zeehon, think phonetically, and think back to Shining Force II, and consolt your thesorus for Shadow Dragon (Another word for Shadow))

The main charicter is in love with this special girl. By "special" I mean she has unusual Etherial powers. By one reason or another, the leader of another has captured her. The leader uses her as a weapon against the native nation, and uses so much power, that her body deteriorates. Thus, a motivation for the Main Charicter.

This could be bad news for you who have been hoping that this will be a steampunk theme game. however, I've been playing the first Shining Force. The past was high tech. (See: lasereye) This might even be (GASP!) a cyberpunk! I'll try my best to make this as steamy as posible (but in a good way).

I'm thinking on going all the way here. I'm thinking of (after finishing the PC edition) porting it to the Dreamcast, and maybe even the GBA (hey, it's possile!). Javascript isn't really that fast (note that the sphere system requirements says you need 600Mhz). I'm hoping that Python scripts are compilable for the Dreamcast, because I'm pretty good at Python. now to appologise to Devlyn in case he's can't do Python. IN the meanwhile, I'll look into Compileing Python.

I'm lousy in Python allright, but perhaps there are others who can help you out .

As for the 600 MHz requirement, I hardly call that a requirement. I had a computer 5 years ago that fullfilled that requirement .

Yes, but the Dreamcast isn't 600 Mhz.

It's not exactly under-powered either.

Personally, I'd stick to one platform right now and expand when it's finished. You don't really have the resources to write games for PC, Dreamcast and GBA, especially if you're still seeking programmers, artists, musicians etc.

I did say that I was going to do the PC version first. The choices I make now will affect the baility of making the port. I may not even do the port. What I was trying to say was that I want a language that will be more adaptible. This may sound crazy, but there are more python programmers then there are java programmers.

Forget I even mentioned it. I'll try to do my best with Sphere.

I havn't come up with any updates yet, so stay with me. I've been away for a while (Physically ro mentally: you'll never know).

I had, however, thought of how cool it would be to have someone start sketching tome base charicters. I can't draw very well, so I'll try to see what I can do within the GIMP. I also thought of how cool it would be if Noma89 would keep her promice and show us her sample art.

I just wanted to show that I was still alive.

I'm alive.
