Good news, everyone!
The Java source code from the latest version of B.A.B.S. has just been released. You can find more information on this version of B.A.B.S. here. It’s the most complete version to date, and features plenty of campaign levels and battles for you to play with.
If you’d to contribute anything (source, images, music or ideas), feel free to drop by the forum and say hello :)
Anyway, here’s the good stuff: Download the source code here.
Here’s some great news for Shining Force fangame developers. Aura4, author of the Shining Force II remake project, has released the source code for the original demo!
You’ll need a few things before it will compile:
There’s more information on the download page, including a few tweaks you’ll need to make to get everything playing nicely.
Enough talk, Go get it!
ChrisW posted in Ye Olde Blah to show off screens from his new project, "Gathering Light". It’s Flash based, and although it’s still early in development it’s looking very promising.
From the forum topic:
All information is stored server side, but the game still remains single player. You can search for players in the arena, which are pulled up randomly, from there you can check out their status page and all of their members and then battle them. Your rank will either increase or decrease depending on your wins and losses, party level sum, total gold, etc, etc.
Even though battles are all single player, you can still trade, join guilds, and enter tournaments. There is also a story mode which you can play when you don’t feel like PvPing. Story mode allows players to gain special characters, items and unlock new PvP maps.
You can find more information on the Gathering Light Website, including a forum for feedback and a blog with plenty of screenshots and development news. Stop by and take a look :)
Here’s a little project I stumbled upon a few days ago. At the moment it’s more of a tech demo, but it’s still a neat little concept.
I’m sure you’ll recognise some of the tiles, too ;)

Aura4 dropped me an email a few days ago to let me know that his Shining Force remake project has been updated. This released contains some bug fixes, along with improved AI.
Take a look and see if you can beat the new improved enemies :)
