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.

I loved the way Shining Force opens, with someone opening a book and acting a bit as a narrator that leads into your epic journey to become a hero. It goes without saying that this game needed to start in a similar fashion.

An early test on swapping sprites to simulate the movement of a wave. Unreal is pretty bare-bones when it comes to swapping out tiles, so we had to get pretty creative to even achieve this result. Unsure if we will use it, but was a fun test!

The final video shows the end result of a few months of work, chaining together a series of scripted events that ultimately results in a battle sequence being started.

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.
