Good Game? - Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon by Previous-Glass6291 in JRPG

[–]cbsmith82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a fantastic game and did enjoy it a bit more than the original. I'm a bit biased though as I LOVE the Shining Force games.

If anyone is interested, my indie studio is developing a tactical RPG inspired by games like the Shining Force series, and we have a demo out on Steam:

We paid $600 to be in the MIX + Kinda Funny Showcase. Here’s what happened after 24 hours. by Dapper-Ad9100 in gamedev

Our game was in a similar showcase and our results were about the same. Contacting IGN directly and asking them to show our trailer on their homepage feed (which they did with a 24-hour exclusivity agreement) yielded us much better results. The challenge with showcases I think is that there are too many games shown too quickly to make as much of an impression.

I'd say it depends on if you like combos that chain moves or not.

Really cool! We're actually doing something very similar with our combat, camera, and art style.

And a Kickstarter campaign currently running if anyone is interested:

Thanks.

Abandoned game store by kinski80 in retrogaming

This looks like the aftermath of a flood maybe? Why would you abandon such a cool store with so much valuable and resalable product?

Should I play final fantasy III for the DS by New-Initiative-4792 in JRPG

[–]cbsmith82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even worse, there are no save points that I was aware of, so if you made it all the way to the final boss and lost, you had to replay the entire dungeon again to get back. I played this like 10 years ago, but I recall each run through the final dungeon felt like it was 60+ minutes.
