Shining Crisis (Fangame) Release Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cbYtrFKr9w



Quote
A mash-up of the RPG Shining Force: The Legacy of the Great Intention, and the arcade game, Time Crisis.

This is for retro game fans... the old school of the old school! There are a ton of nostalgic video game songs from the 90s, and a couple of dungeon synth and even black metal pieces when things get creepy.

Tested on Windows machines. Just need a mouse and spacebar to play. Escape to pause, and maybe another secret key if you make it to the end... :)

Quote
One of the key people behind the excellent Shining Force III translation project is currently in the process of hacking the game so it can be played online.
Knight0fdragon is responsible for bringing the whole Shining Force III saga to English-speaking audiences, as, back in the day, only the first of the three chapters was actually localised for North America and Europe.
Now, Knight0fdragon is working on getting the game to support Saturn's XBAND modem and has been ...

This "Bonkers" Hidden Mini-Game In Shining The Holy Ark Is Finally Accessible







Quote
The mini-game code—which is unused in the final version of the game—plays a series of animal sound effects, and the player is supposed to press X, Y, or Z, depending on which sound plays.
Should you miss less than three matches, the debug menu becomes accessible—the catch is that there's no indication of which sound matches which button, and the sounds play at such a frantic pace that success is difficult.
Bayles has created a patch which re-enables the matching game in the game and ...

Domingo (Shining Force) will be Added to Pocket Dimensional Clash 2 V2 - OpenBOR Fan Game

New characters that will join the party in version 4.0, to be released in the future.
I know some people will say "oh but why don't you add common fighters, like Ken?"
the answer is because I find it boring.

I always value these "curve balls" more, giving forgotten characters a chance, than adding more characters that do the same thing that another character already does. I've always followed a rule throughout my decades as a game developer: Doing things differently. I've never been attracted to doing something exactly like the original game - I always thought it was a waste of time, and that it would be better to play the original game.

I respect those who like it, but originality counts a lot for me :)

SEGA boss wants to revive the SEGA spirit of the 80s and 90s



Quote
Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone, “I’d really like to revive that SEGA spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe SEGA brings rock and roll. In the arcade business, we really had a rock and roll mindset and trying to provide new stuff. So nowadays, we want Sega to always be trying something different, while ..."
