Shining Fluff - Development Kit

This project is a collection of tools for creating Shining Force style games in Flash technology. The tools would include :

• A sprite editor to create and edit character sprites
• A map editor to create both world maps and battle maps
• Dialog editor...

And of course on top of the tools an actual game engine to see what can be running.

One of the goal would be to recreate the original SF game while allowing people to make modification / add things that weren't here before.

Why use Flash ?

One of the main reason to use flash in this case is that I already had most of these tools ready from an older project that never saw light.

Another one is that it's one of most common technology that can be used for games. It's available on all platform (even on mobile even though I doubt these kind of game would run).

Last point is mainly that I like the platform and what it offers :)

What's available now ?

Basically a first version of the spritesheet editor and map editor as well as a version of the engine that runs based on those two components.
