Thanks a lot to Eden for this one :)

Note: Both links are dead. See Shining Odyssey project page for latest updates.

The demo contains the intro scene and the 1st battle, and will be the last demo for a while, as Shining Odyssey will remain somewhat in the fridge for a while..

You can visit his site for screenies at http://www.geocities.com/zylokh or download the demo at http://mapage.noos.fr/zylokh/Release3112.zip.

Enjoy! :D

Mind you, it’s still a tech demo, but there’s definately interesting stuff in it :).

Here are some of the features this demo contains:
-Brand new animations from Produn.
-Improved music core and, for the first time, soundeffects.
-A new font engine which enables me to use any windows font in a second.
-A sf Style textbox. it has some issues as it can’t handle pressed buttons yet.
-First appearance of the Particle engine which brings us some snow.

Feel free to check it out at sfta.sourceforge.net :)

The new shining flash demo is here.
New features include:

• Replica of the town of Granseal, slightly extended and altered.

Home Button – Deselect, uncall menu
PageUp Button – Talk to people, search, bring up events.

McPhisto has been working exceedingly hard on Shining Valour lately, which will result in a first demo release tomorrow!

I haven’t played this demo yet, but I did play some preliminary beta’s and those already looked very promising!
