Sega’s Shining Force Revival
Sega has been starting a Shining Force revival of sorts, announcing Shining Force and Shining Tears for PS2, and releasing Shining Soul 2, and the Shining Force remake “SF: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon” on GBA. Now, Sega has announced that there will be yet another Shining Force released.
“The new history of the Shining series starts today,” Takezaki said. “We’ve also begun planning for the next-next game (the fourth release).” He explained that he hopes to see no long breaks between future releases in the series, so that fans can keep following it on a regular basis.
So Shining Force fans, you can expect to see a lot more of your favorite RPG series later this year. For those of you new to the series, Shining Force was a strategy RPG released for the Genesis, and later the Saturn and the Game Gear. There have also been several spin offs to the series, the latest being two action RPGs, Shining Soul and Shining Tears.
An interesting development that will certainly have its effect on the Shining fangame scene, but I guess we can only wait and see as to what its impact will be :).
Any large news will certainly be posted here in due time, but feel free to check the DcD site for the latest updates on this :).

Hi all!
Despite my huge bouts of procrastination these days, I managed to add two fresh projects. :)
Much info about them is still lacking, but hopefully that’ll be added soon :).
Feel free to check them out (and their sites!).
On a side-note, as the amount of functionality is slowly increasing due to Ty’s hard work, I think it’s a good time to allow others access to the newsposting pages as well :). If any of the project people would like access as a news poster to the main site, please tell me on the Shining Source Discussion Forum, and I’ll add & inform you :).
It’s not proper, SF-related news because, to be honest, there isn’t much of that about at the minute. What it is is a fantastically entertaining piece of music, co-written by myself and Edgey from the forums. It’s the theme tune to a brand new superhero, Beeman! Download it here, and let us know what you think right here.
Enjoy the song!
Of course all the project stuff is nice, but I almost forgot about the very most important revelation of the past weeks!
Edgemaster discovered our long lost bouncy ball in a distant galaxy several light years away using exceedingly advanced technology.
