Shining Fanwork: Shining Force III: 16-bit

[Tor_Heyerdal]

No, that won't help at all. Those overhead maps don't provide any detail (how would I know where to put the doors and the things inside the houses based on these maps? The houses aren't even shown at all). Additionally, that source only provides such maps for battles. There are many maps which are to be found outside of battles. Thanks for the suggestion though.

EDIT, ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2014:
Unfortunately, it won't let me make a fresh post, so I'll just put this here for anyone who's still checking here. Just wanted to show you all that the AI is up and running.

EDIT, ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2014:
I have officially released a Pre-Alpha Demo! Here's the link, and I'll put another one in the opening post.

Love the 16-bit conversion of the monk.

Didn't know you were still working on this, or at least working publicly. Hat's off to the progress you've made.

[Tor_Heyerdal]

Thanks a lot, Earl!

I took a really, really long break from it, but I've been back to work for the past couple of months now, yeah.

I can't wait for this to come out! Good luck with it, Tor!

Is this project still going?

[Chaoswizard98]

Yes this project is still going. Tor is getting close to releasing the next demo.

Is this still project still alive?

I would likewise be very interested in any further developments. I actually didn't even realize such a project existed until the thread was bumped just now.

I had just been thinking the other day about how Shining Force 1 hacking tools have gotten to the point where someone could more or less feasibly recreate Shining Force III within SF1 without having to build a new game from the ground up in order to achieve something like a 16-bit SF3.

I am very impressed by how far the game in this thread got using the tools of what is now ten years ago.

[scravanger]

That would be absolutely awesome. I always loved SF2 style graphics. Plus the gameplay itself is much faster. and frankly sf3 does not look that impressive anymore, while sf2/1,cd still do. It would also be cool to switch between 3d and 2d on the fly )))) anyone ??? cool idea but implementing it would be nearly impossible, considering the length of the game. overtime i saw so many projects start and be so promising jus to see them die from exhaustion. It would be cool to see self generating maps (like diablo series) every time you play, there is a new map. It would make the same game never end... and with upcoming AI it might be possible. who knows
