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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
