Shining Force Characters
That’s it. All of the Shining Force 1 sprites are now complete.
There’s no time to relax though, because now it’s time to start on the Shining Force 2 sprites.
Final Conflict Tilesets
A trio of Shining Force: Final Conflict tiles have been added to Shining Aid. There’s still quite a lot left to do, but we’re getting there.
Audio Files
Newts has prepared some jingles for use in your projects. There are four to download: "Waking Up", "Dead", "Saved" and "Promotion". They’re provided in Ogg Vorbis format, which can be converted to other formats using a tool such as Ogg Drop.
They’re all released under the creative commons attribution licence, so if you use them in your project please remember to say thanks with a link to TSS. I’m sure Newts would appreciate a link to his gaming blog too ;)
To compliment these files, a selection of Shining Force 3 sounds have been added to the sound section.
You can grab the jingles and sound effects from the audio section of Shining Aid.
That’s it…for now
And so ends another lame update. Be sure to join us in Ye Olde Blah, and check out the projects people are working on.
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 ..

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 :)
