27th of April (2003 :P).
In a bid to encourage me to work, Dev has threatened to release the demo 4 beta I sent him a while back if I don’t release something first. Isn’t he kind :P
You will get something, and it will be worth waiting for. Hopefully taking time off to do demo 4 won’t affect my university grade (much) ;)
Expect many more updates in the coming weeks, as I race to beat the maniacal Devlyn and his army of robot bratwurst…
The second phase of the Shiny Sword: Cloudslayer project will be mostly a plot development phase, although I’m going to improve and optimize SMEE as well in this phase, due to popular demand :).
More info can be found on the progress page.
I know how much you all love these in-depth discussions, so check out the most popular topic on YoB at the moment here (link dead).
PS Dev dared me :P
Djobi programmed an exceedingly neat Shining Force version of Pong! Unlike Penn Pong 1, PP2 features different characters and also obstacles on the field!
Feel free to check it out in the Off-Topic section. I’m sure you’ll love it :D.
After the success of a similarly-named topic at Ye Olde Blah, Ty and I have decided to produce an article on the development process of Demo 4, and how SO has evolved since the release of Demo 3 at the end of 2001. Expect to see screenshots, developmental sketches, more screenshots and lots of other nice stuff :)
I hope you can consider your SO appetite well and truly whetted :P
