Good news, everyone!
The Java source code from the latest version of B.A.B.S. has just been released. You can find more information on this version of B.A.B.S. here. It’s the most complete version to date, and features plenty of campaign levels and battles for you to play with.
If you’d to contribute anything (source, images, music or ideas), feel free to drop by the forum and say hello 
Anyway, here’s the good stuff: Download the source code here.
Here’s some great news for Shining Force fangame developers. Aura4, author of the Shining Force II remake project, has released the source code for the original demo!
You’ll need a few things before it will compile:
There’s more information on the download page, including a few tweaks you’ll need to make to get everything playing nicely.
Enough talk, Go get it!
That’s 94 sprites in total.
Or 752 frames.
Or 433,152 pixels.
Check them out here.
Next job on the list is NPC characters, and then the actual Shining Force.
The long task of ripping Shining Force 2 enemy sprites has finally started. There are about 100 different sprites to rip, although some are just re-colours. There’s also about 30 NPC’s to grab as well.
Expect an update on this by the weekend 
This was a silly idea.
That’s it. All of the Shining Force 1 sprites are now complete.
There’s no time to relax though, because now it’s time to start on the Shining Force 2 sprites.
A trio of Shining Force: Final Conflict tiles have been added to Shining Aid. There’s still quite a lot left to do, but we’re getting there.
Newts has prepared some jingles for use in your projects. There are four to download: "Waking Up", "Dead", "Saved" and "Promotion". They’re provided in Ogg Vorbis format, which can be converted to other formats using a tool such as Ogg Drop.
They’re all released under the creative commons attribution licence, so if you use them in your project please remember to say thanks with a link to TSS. I’m sure Newts would appreciate a link to his gaming blog too
To compliment these files, a selection of Shining Force 3 sounds have been added to the sound section.
You can grab the jingles and sound effects from the audio section of Shining Aid.
And so ends another lame update. Be sure to join us in Ye Olde Blah, and check out the projects people are working on.
