One of the first levels the player will explore is their hometown, a seaside village. This is the first draft at that tileset!

Trying to get a feel of the starting area, and most importantly how much the player can see. The original Shining force displayed everything in a 12x12 grid, but was also rendered 4:3.

We also have some camera work to show off. It was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to get Unreal to both attach a camera to a character but also prevent the camera from showing things outside the play space. Using a camera mod does the trick though.

Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a colorful action-RPG & town-builder where you and your robot buddies help build a new future from the ground up.

Having a flashy combat sequence is one of the best parts of Shining Force. Inspired by Darkest Dungeon, I wanted to try to pull the camera in and make combat more personal. This video was a test of the Unreal sequencer to see what it might look like.

The first pass at our battle system. The basic flow is in, allowing the player to position, attack and end turns - after which the enemy moves and attacks. Although Shining Force never had a combat forecast, I always enjoyed that feature in newer SRPGs.

To celebrate the game's impending release, we've added The Knightling Pack and The Knightling Community Pack back to the Shop!

First 5 minutes of gameplay! Everything is pretty much prototype, but much of the work here is just getting all the systems connected together to a sequence that actually starts to resemble a game.
