Do you know FF VI : Shadow of Life ?

FF VI: Shadow of Life is the codename of the most serious european RPG-Making project. The project has been launched by C. Montet (aka Kaduss) in 1999, and has been restarted two times from the beginning to do better. The story takes place 100 years after Final Fantasy VI. This second opus is very different from the original with better graphics, better screen resolution, better sound quality, better gameplay…

Today, Shadow of Life (Sol) is one of the most important project on the world wide web! More than 40 persons work on it, and everything is made by the team (no readymade programs, music, graphics�). From artworks to editor’s programation, from the composition of the soundtrack to 3D animatics, you can follow the development of Sol on their website : http://www.ff6sol.com/ (click on the English link for English version).

What do you think about that? Fun? Not very original? Ambitious? 😛

i see you’ll fit right in here

try to put stuff in the right forum.

Anyway, did you saw the website ?

yet u speak english u dik

Is it possible to download it?

Unfortunately, the game is not finished! The project has not ended… I hope we will be able to propose the game as soon as possible. But this is a very hard work. It takes a lot of time for all the departments (design, music, 3D animation, programation…) to complete their job. We will have a demo for april / may 2006…

it does look quite promising

don�t worry, there is a lot of foreing people here

Wow this is a huge project, it would be good to see how far you can go with this game by only using RPG Maker, it could show its true potential, plus most of the chip sets and music are already out there, could be an interesting thing to do!

How!!! No please! 😛 We don’t use ready-made programs such as RPG-Maker! We do all our applications by ourself. Our programers team is really good for that. They make all the editors (for characters, decors, fights…).

EVERYTHING is made by the team!

So in other words, you use RPG Toolmaker

No 😛

The Shadow of Life team have made a software suite which is not usable by other people. All our softwares are made from zero. Everithing is programed by our team. As Microsoft has made Windows (hum ^^), our team has made all the game’s editors…

Same thing for designs. The characters have been first drawn by the designers’ department. After that, the infographists’ department make numeric version, and the animatic’s department make 3D models, etc…

Same thing for the musique which is composed by our team…

We make EVERITHING!
