Recently released PSP RPG Shining Ark has been attracting praise for the excessively high quality of its character designs and art (gameplay being another matter), with what look to be some of Tony’s most accomplished artwork to date – even if the PSP’s now pathetic hardware hardly seems to do them justice.
Interestingly, the game also looks to be one of the (if not the) first titles to be credited to Tony’s new design studio, Albion Works.
The game itself boasts the Shining series staples of Tony art and elaborate baking simulation, and so seems unlikely to disappoint existing fans at least:
The game is already out.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOT LET THIS GET LICENSED HERE IN AMERICA!!!
AND I WANT TO SEE NAKED GIRLS TOO!
AKSYS!! I WILL FLOG YOU WITH SIZABLE DENOMINATIONS OF U.S. CURRENCY UNTIL YOU GET TO WORK!!
Just get the original JP version, they might censor or tone down the good stuff.
What is there to censor?
DUB?
Loli's , if there is
Agreed!
Dude, if they not do, we will just translate it by ourselfes
@15:53
Well, I hope you're not the one translating the games.
DAMMIT I WANT SHINING FORCE FEATHER LOCALIZED!!!
We still need all the Shining series brought over. It fucking tanked because they brought it over and removed every bit of voice acting and never really advertised. I bought and played it and it was fun, just nobody knew what the fuck it was.
1. PSP Emulator
2. Google
?. ???
4. Profit!
not really....
So, you care only about America.
Other world does not exist for you (except Japan, but it's different planet I suppose).
I feel shame for you.

PSP is regionfree, you idiot. So releasing the game in the US means anyone can import an English copy and not worry about modchips, adapters, custom firmware, etc.
Also more obscure titles are licensed in the US than any other foreign market because the US has a larger number of English speaking gamers than other foreign markets. Gaming is a business & businesses only go where there is money to be made.
Anyway, this won't get licensed anywhere. With the next generation of handhelds in the wild, companies like xseed are already moving onto the next generation, because they need to see returns on their investment too.
at least i do not understand the meaning of "caring" when it comes to a land.
caring for a land? you gonna hug the earth?
oh wait... maybe you mean that patriotic shit a lot of people are doing... that... WE ARE AWESOME.
if you by ACCIDENT meant... that i care about americans... maybe you didnt even meant me,.. sorry i was rude.
at least more people can understand english than japanese
^Spoken like a true hippie.
@12:47
Why would an American care if it gets licensed in eastern Slobania, or southern Armpitistan?
Stop trying to make every mention of America into some knee-jerk nationalist rant. Instead, just say 'I wish this game was licensed in Retardonia so I could play it too!'.
People are going to care if a game gets licensed to their region, not to every country on the planet. I'm not American, but this same stupid vitriolic response that comes up every time the US is mentioned is pathetic.
you forgot poland
Online multiplayer bread cookoffs, the challenges will look like this,
"You're Souffle aint got shit on my Baumkuchen!"
Knead Wars?
"What's the difference between your mother and a mallard in a Ferrari? One's a quick duck. I don't remember how the joke ends, but your cake is horrifyingly terrible."
"Youre bread was so terrible, you successfully poisoned last boss with it"
worst gopan ever
His style seems to be diversifying a bit; not that many cut&paste faces anymore. That is definitely a plus. So even someone at his level can still get better.
On another note, pathetic as the PSP's hardware might be by today's standards, those outline-less cell shaders look great. Low poly count aside, I doubt the shading itself could look much better even on a Quadro 6000.
It's funny how the PSP graphically nips at the 3DSs heels after all these years..
The PSPs only real faults are the low resolution & motion blur. Beyond that, the PSP still looks good for it's age.
His style diversifying? what were you looking it with? hubble telescope
I know that its his style, but I honestly don't really like how white and lightly coloured his characters are.
And I don't mean that they look like white people, I mean that the colour palette used for the characters are just so light. Sickeningly light.
Even the pirate girl in black has so much light colours on her. Its just not my thing, no matter how sexy she is or how magnificent their hats are...
Shining Ark - Shiawase no Pan Tsu
That's actually pretty funny as it could have been the real title...
All of tony's faces seem always similar..
that's the prob with us artists,when you find that perfection it burns in the brains.Really hard to change style.
graphic style look like every free to play mmo from korea ever.
Still looks the same as always. It's like he has a set of faces and hairs designs that he swaps between characters and just changes hair and eye color.
He is the Hisashi Hirai of modern era. Otaku just like him because he draws fanservice.
Sega DMCA'd a bunch of Shining Force videos for this?
Needs more nipples.
They sure like to reuse that blonde elf girl with the wings in her hair
I like Tony's art and all, but am I the only one thinking the character designs look pretty tame and ordinary?
Is this game from 1998?
umm, why is the MC and the red girl always holding hands?
did someone play the super glue pranks on them?
I'm surprised this site hasn't mentioned that sega is thinking of bringing project diva F over if enough people like it on facebook, you know since all the recent articles are about games.
there will be sex, right?
DEM SHINY BREADS...
Its good to see that the PSP is still alive and well.

Character designs looks too generic and simple. Art style and drawing quality are another matter.
