I completely forgot that s.p.a.m. got changed to bratwurst by the swear filter. Over 10,000 bots caught in the last two years. Not sure if it's increasing or not, but at least I don't have to manually delete all those accounts now.

Yep, I forgot about the BONET,.  Like really old good friends, I had spent so long coming here that whenever something reminded me of it I smiled, but did not recognise how long it had truly been as it still seemed like yesterday.

At the moment I'm still in Auckland, my side interest from my job at the moment is android development, which is quite nice.  My programming abilities have become guru-like, and my artwork is still at the level of a 3 year old, you know.. play to your strengths. . .

I'm very excited to hear that Newts got a job at Nintendo!  What's he doing there?

Hope you are all well and that 2013 has seen you safely around the wheel.

Lots of extremely low resolution graphics love to all of ya.

Newts was pretty excited about working for Nintendo too Smiley He does online content for Nintendo Europe, like news on the website, info about games etc.

How's Android development? I keep thinking I should mess around with mobile stuff but never get the time. Will you be porting Shiny Sword? Wink

Well it's going pretty well thanks.  I don't think I'd be porting that though Sad

However I have recently come up with an idea not dissimilar to my old 1v1 team fight that I'm probably going to have a crack at putting on Android.  It'll have a lot of the same movement mechanics as shining force for ease of use, but battle calculations a bit closer to the current d&d version.
I don't know if it'll even get off the ground with a beta due to well, the sunshine calling me, but thought I'd mention it because the idea is entertaining, and I've only just come up with it a few days ago so there's still a chance I'll give it a crack.

Hows things for you?

Every time I do my 48-hour contests I think maybe I should just take a weekend or two to mock up a quick SF style battle using flash. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to get just a basic tech demo running and then build on that.

I read, so I must respond.

I checked my profile and saw I joined here in March 2004, nearly 10 years ago. I wonder if I'll be popping back in another 10 years' time to see what's changed? [Edit] In fact, it strikes me that it's 10 years since we moved across to PHPBB (right?) so I've actually been a member even longer.

Here's to you, Blah!

Most likely you've been around since August 10th 2000 or so? Wink

Btw. I wonder when the first Shining Mobile game is coming on the market...

Is it just me or would SF style battles work really well on mobile platforms?

I still have most of the files from the early TSS, but no database backups from acmefiles. Good times on the Ikonboard Smiley

I think it would actually... however, I've yet to see them! I wonder how difficult it is to make apps these days...

I keep thinking about writing a really light web-based version of Shining Force and then testing that on a mobile device. I need more than 24 hours in a day Wink

Happy New Year Smiley

This crowd funded game is finally nearing release and has a bit of a shining feel to the battle system.

Yeah I did a browser based game back in here
http://www.shiningsource.net/forum/index.php?topic=542.0

actually I should dig that out and re-host it for the lols.
would have to update code and security a bit though i guess.

Will post back if i get around to doing that.

Ok so i found the code, no database, and no db creation scripts.

I'm reconstructing the database from guesswork...

it's pretty old ajax to be honest, but looks like most of it should work.

presently being re-crafted on http://www.elvenfyre.com/shining/

Happy New Year Elv, good to see around again Smiley

I've done a lot of ajax work for clients the last few years - one big advantage is it works on just about everything. The new HTML canvas element is pretty neat too for rendering more complex scenes, so I think a JS approach would definitely be a plausible route to take.
