After many years of hard work, our good buddy Grom has finished “Shining Force : The Role Playing game”. I’ll let him tell you in his own words…
Well, its been a long time coming … 6 years in fact, but its done and ready for the world to see and try.
Below is a link to the Zip file containing 5 files ..

Please feel free to play-test V1:00, give character creation a try, or just proof-read it all, leave any and all feedback on the forums @ http://shiningforce.providence-guild.net/.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM welcome, suggestions/changes/new ideas welcome.
So grab your dice, get a few friends together and start your own Shining style adventure!
Yep, Peter has been working hard and has recently released some more great screenshots in the forums. There’s another look at a previously shown town, and also a first look at the insides of the church.
I’m sure you’ll agree that things are progressing very nicely, and there’s certainly a nice Shining style to the graphics.
More screenshots are available in the official Dark Resurrection Screenshot Thread.
Howdy folks,
Just a quick note to let you know that the site has moved from www.shiningsource.org to www.shiningsource.net. Hopefully the old domain can be restored in the future, but for now we’ll be using the .net extension. If you find any broken links etc, please let me know in the comments section and I’ll fix them :)
Peter van Dalen has recently updated his Dark Resurrection screenshot thread with some great new pictures, giving us all a first look at a town within the game. Even an early screen like this has many small touches, such as smoke from chimneys, so the final game is sure to be a real treat :)

Another week, another fresh batch of Shining goodness for you to devour. There are new character sprites, over a hundred battle backgrounds and several new tilesets to enjoy.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new…
Character Sprite Sheets
Another handful of Shining Force characters were added to the character sprites page, so it’s almost time to start on the Shining Force II sprites. Joy.
Shining Force Backgrounds
The battle backgrounds section has seen the biggest boost, with over 200 backgrounds added!
All of Peter van Dalen’s rendered backgrounds have now been restored, and they’re well worth a look. The biggest increase comes from the original Shining Force backgrounds though, and the site now contains every background from the Shining series.
It should be noted that the Shining Force backgrounds were ripped by Wolfgang Landgraf, author of the Phantasy Star Homepage.
More Tilesets
Both Peter van Dalen’s building tiles and Stordarth’s large tiles have been added to the tilesets section of the site. In addition to that I’ve also added three tilesets from Shining Force: Final Conflict.
Time For Sleep
That’s it for this week. There’s a lot more to be added to the site, and I particularly want to get monsters added. They’re a bit of a pig to rip though so it’ll take a while. There are a few other ideas floating around, such as adding statistics and maps in a reusable format, but nothing is set in stone yet.
We’ll see what happens :)
