I’ve just added several new Shining Tears items to the collectables section of the site. There certainly are a lot of them now!
Within the last half hour, I received an email from the current manager of the Shining Force Webring (which was originally mine around 8 years ago, but ownership was transferred by Webring to another user when I was unable to log-in for about a year), offering to return full management abilities to me. Within 24 hours the Shining Force Webring will be back with its true owner, and I’ll be able to sort out that distorted navigation graphic. So, if you have a Shining site and want a bit more exposure while also creating a sense of community, feel free to join up – I promise the button will look a lot better when it’s back to 88×33 😀
Finally, on a more Shining-related note, I’ve babelfished the Sega Voice Tony Taka interview, and it’s quite an interesting read… if a little garbled by the babelfish 😉 Nonetheless, it gives enough of a gist of the meaning to be able to enter the contest.
I particularly enjoyed reading about the expression on Dark Xion’s face, and was quite surprised to learn that Tony’s favourite character design is that of Blanc Neige… I’d’ve expected Elwing, since he seems to draw a lot of pictures of her. An interesting point too about the difficulty of designing characters that would work in the chibi style, given all the special effects which would be applied to the sprites, such as glows etc.
Go see if you can make some sense of it too, and enjoy 🙂
