Shadow Falls is boolsoft's attempt to TI-68k RPGs, featuring beautiful graphics and a interesting story. This alpha version is very uncomplete; you can walk around an speak to people.

The fights are now included (in a not very advanced way, yet). All I can provide for the moment is this screenshot, which doesn't look that good (on my real V200, it looks better and doesn't flicker...)

// Edit: removed screenshot, see below for more infos

It looks very professional, especially the battle screen.

Say, does it use the ExtGraph tilemap engine?

wow thats the biggest screenshot I even seen *resizes in the GIMP for news article on front page* O_O

look very nice, while the overworld reminds me of FF1 the battles graphics reminds me of FF6 and the text boxes Chrono Trigger , I hope to see this co0mpleted soon

Yes, most of the graphic aren't made by myself (some were ported from the FF series, some were fetched from RPG community sites (e.g. the fighting background)).

And no, it doesn't use the TileMap engine. Everything was developped by myself

I've just uploaded a new version (with fighting):

oh nice, you all wrote routines by yourself? Are most in C or are some in 68k ASM? I'll try to play the new demo and post the news article about AUra/Shadow Falls/Zelda soon but first I need to resize the above screenshot with the GIMP to fit it in the frontpage

1. I can send you a real 240x128 screenshot if you want.

2. They are all witten in C. The source will be avialable when the first public version is finished.

hmm nice, maybe you could send me a new screenshot 240x128 because now that I look at it my pentium II will not be able to handle the resizing

saubue · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:37:00 pm »

Allright, this screenshot is 240x128 and has got a better quality than the one above. It is quite large, though.

OK, there is no new download available now, but I've just taken a screenshot of the enhanced battle engine. Other things I added:
- Partially added 2nd city
- Added another fighting background
- Save/Load game at inns and at home
- Enhanced menu

Perahps I will upload a beta (or just another alpha

) when these things are prooved to work and I added some other features I have in mind.

Oh, yeah, here's the screenshot:

look very awesome so far, the graphics are so sweet , do you take battle backgrounds from FFVI? I'll try to grab an emu and play it once a new version comes out

how many characters per battles will there be?

saubue · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2005, 06:44:00 am »

I don't where the battle backgrounds are taken from, but I usually get them from RPG community sites like http://www.toolkitzone.com/ . Some of the gfx of those sites are ripped and some are done by poeple themself.

There will be 1-2 monsters and the main character. In the second chatper, you will probably able to fight with 2 characters...

Anyway, I'm still thinking about including magic spells and elements so that fights won't get boring...
