IkitClaw released v1.3 to the Tatakai beta testers. Here’s the accompanying message. :)
Tatakai test release v1.3 has just been uploaded and testers have been notified.
Amongst other things, the new Tatakai has :
- experience for friendly magic – an overlooked feature has been added
- attack action always default selection – avoids accidental stay orders
- individual hero, monster and item SFX
- more flexible image definitions
- introduced town files making each town specific
- variable levels of monster AI
The structure of the resource files has been reworked, and individual town files have been added. I’m currently working on a richer town customisation, allowing shop stock to be set, and eventually have town walkabouts too !
Issues concerning display settings and changes still persist – I need to learn more about the variations behind DirectDraw…
If you want access to the beta as well, feel free to check out the Project page for more info :).
Edit: The Tatakai site has had an update as well. Feel free to check it out at http://kyonshi.co.uk/tatakai/
Hello, Ty here.
Just uploaded a semi-major update to the site. Most of the update is behind the scenes (much like all my work), so you probably won’t notice much.
There will probably be a few broken links hanging around, most likely with images not displaying. Sorry for this, but I haven’t really had time to do fancy buttons and icons yet.
Chances are you’ll notice the little 
buttons all over the site. If you’re new to RSS Feeds, there’s plenty of places to find information about them. The feeds mean you can have our news on your site (with a little programming), as well as get news delivered straight to a n RSS news reader. Smart.
I go on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow, so don’t expect anything from me. I apologise in advance for anything wrong with the site, but I will endeavour to fix it when I get back.
Cheerio!
My apologies to Grom for putting this up so late. Here is the wisdom of Grom! :D
Firstly – we’ve added 3 more character profile pages to the SFTA World>Characters section on our website
http://sfta.sourceforge.net
and also, we’ve started up our HQ contest again, in which submitters get the chance to have a character named after them in SFTA, and have that character designed to their specifications.

Shining Force Central – Forum Topic
On a side-note, I’ll be leaving for vacation for about a week, so expect updates to be a little scarcer than usual ;)
Although the Shining Force Remake has been out for a bit already. it took a while for the first real fansite to pop up. We even considered putting up a fansite here at the Source, to meet community demands (an expensive way to say that we were simply bored ;) ). Wolfgang beat us to it, and the result looks very good!
After a good amount of work, he opened up a fansite of Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon approximately two days ago.
The site is extremely cool, and it had me browsing for quite a while! Therefore, I couldn’t help myself but recommend this wonderful piece of work to the others :).
New Dark Resurrection screenshots have been added today. You can find more of them at the unofficial DR screenshot directory at:

Once more, enjoy :P
