Hello. I’ve completed my submission, FE: Rust. A survival horror hack.

I’ll keep it brief because I want to keep the mystery alive, but I’ve made a short FAQ to let you know about it.

Patch to a clean copy of FE8U

16 Likes

Finished my entry. Just like last year, I made another map set in the world of Four Kings, with some existing characters after the main story of that game. Follow Chase’s Mage Quartet and the wyvern knights of Behanzin as they investigate some mysterious happenings in the desert. You can consider this a what-if scenario given who is alive here.

Playtested primarily on MGBA, so that’s my recommendation. Should work fine on others, but milage may vary. Also tested some on an Analogue Pocket using the OpenFPGA GBA core and worked without issue. Still, milage may vary.

This is your 48-hour warning. If you’re developing a submission and haven’t submitted it, I recommend you spend the upcoming weekend wisely. Getting a friend to test your entry or posting in the discord’s playtesting channel are good ideas.
No extensions will be given. Overall, there’s a decent amount of entries, and I anticipate more over the weekend. Good luck to all entrants.

So having someone else playtest your entry isn’t against the rules? I assumed it was.

Getting someone else to test your entry is perfectly acceptable.

Calculation Manipulation is a FE8U submission; apply .ups patch to the appropriate ROM. Credits can be found in the download link.

Calculation Manipulation is a chapter that mostly revolves around one gimmick: the Control Staff. This is a staff that lets you affect combat by changing the AS threshold, adding extra damage, and/or adding/subtracting to Hit. There’s a few other new items and some additional QoL, as well as multiple difficulties to choose from. If you’re not sure what to play on, I recommend Normal.

The Spellthieves

A Lex Talionis Project by RandomWizard

LT_2024-04-13_23.28.25.840883

The Boersgard Academy of Arcane Studies is the greatest school of magic in the land. Its Orthodox Mages have surpassed all rivals, and its dominion over education and sorcery now goes nigh-unchallenged - save for a few angry outcasts (and Bjorn), banding together for a chance at revenge by stealing the Academy’s greatest treasures.

In The Spellthieves, you lead a varied band of spellcasters from widely varied traditions (and Bjorn). Each one, however, casts their magic in a fundamentally different method. To escape the wrath of the Academy, you’ll need to master the skillsets and spell lists of all these thieves, and manage their tenuous allegiances to the cause - before time runs out.

Features
  • Lots of cool skills and spells, powered by the Lex Talionis engine.
  • The power to change the current map theme on the fly.
  • Supports, including paired endings for all conversations. (No, seriously.)
  • Tense, high-quality map design and enemy placement by a veteran FE hacker.
  • Music from a variety of games, both well-known and obscure.
  • Bjorn.
  • An attempt at something resembling a deep, thematic story.

Download the initial release version here. To play The Spellthieves, simply extract the .zip file and run double_click_to_play.bat.

Note: As of April 14, I’ve slightly updated the link. The only changes in this version compared to the initial release are fixing a game-crashing bug, as well as correcting a slight omission in the Credits.txt document.

I’m excited to finally put this chapter out into the world after over a month of work, and to see what a wider audience thinks of it - and of the many other amazing hacks and fangames people have made for the CELICA contest.

@Darrman Hi! I’m trying to upload my CELICA project, but since I’ve just been a lurker here before, I don’t have media or link permissions yet, and I really don’t want to miss the deadline. I figured it might be best to ask if you could grant me those permissions.

Edit: Thank you!

Captain’s Log

Made by carrosa in Lex Talionis

Captain Asef Riahi knows little nowadays, but he’s well aware of how dearly he misses his crew. With centuries of extended life having stolen away the memories of his former comrades, he sifts through his dreams in the hopes of reuniting with them one last time.

This is my first finished and released chapter, and I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did creating it!

Fire Emblem: Crowns, Thrones and Rebellion

This is my entry for ‘CELICA’.

You play as an army consisting of generics (Who are just resources) and commanders (Who are story characters).

The story is about a prince who decides to organize a peasant revolt against his tyrannical father. It’s a prequel to ‘Crowns and Thrones’.
