Shining Strike showcase 5/19/26
I posted a while back about a Shining Force 3 fan game I'm developing, and I wanted to wait until I had something more substantial to show to post about it again, so here we are!
I've tweaked the input parser a little bit since this video so I drop my rekkas less often now, but I've finally been able to start putting the online play through its paces, playing probably 50+ matches in the last few days. Here's a best-of-three set that I recorded to get some representative gameplay.
I'm hoping to get a playable build out for people to dabble with in the next couple months (I'd like to finish this character as well as add the second one), but I'm curious to get any initial thoughts on the gameplay. I know it can be harder to judge from just watching rather than being able to play it, but I'm trying to get everything feeling as good as possible before I start work on the second character so I'm doing less going back and revising of the core systems over and over again.
Questions are welcome as well, but I'm primarily looking for positive or negative feedback. Most of my personal contacts are more versed in Shining Force 3 than in fighting games, so I want to reach out further for thoughts from those more familiar with the genre.
