What’s up today, hmmmm… well, certain playables from the previous few chapters may be a bit more busted than I intended them to be, oops. I’m also thinking of raising class growths by like… 10% or so to add a bit more difficulty.
Uhhhhh… promoted enemies also seem a tad weak in general, like they don’t get the extra 20 levels they should as if they did promote, even though I’ve got the patch that does that, weird… still need to remember to do stuff with the weird FE8 EXP problem where promoted units get a bunch of exp from slapping unpromoted units in the face, aaaand I might add the Fates EXP thing so there’s a little more incentive to rotate the team if you’re inclined to do so.
Think that’s it for today’s ramble. I wonder if I can do the next bit in two days? Or even one!.. probably not one. Farewell!
A lot of stuff to say today, and I’ve forgotten half of it! I love my brain. First off, stats and levels, apparently I didn’t do the promoted level things, so that’s changed, now it’s +14 for easy/normal, and +24 for hard. Have fun with your suffering, mwahahaha.
uhhh… next chapter stuff, so the next bit is essentially another ‘reset’ like Chapter 13? was, a chapter with like a million things all in one, so that’s going to take a pretty long while to write up, I’ll say a week at the very least, but it’ll probably be more unless I just… don’t sleep. or eat.
And now for the big bit… FEE3 has its schedule thingy up, so you know, go check all the things out. …I don’t know what time my one is here, too tired and lazy to do timezone stuff right now, but I have this feeling it’s again at a time I’m going to miss the upload… again. Blimey, if so, then the two years I do this I miss it. That’s some luck.
Edit:
So it seems with the almighty power of squish the end is nigh! All hail the power of squish. One more demo, the next release will be the completion (Insofar as general gameplay/story, need to do graphical stuff like portraits/palettes and all that), might also do a ‘postgame’ of sorts, but right now I’m thinking I’ll probably just steal the Lagdou Ruins for a simple easy-to-make postgame so you can at least do something with your units.
Not entirely sure how many ‘final chapters’ there’ll be, but the preamble has been squished into only two chapters, 24/25 instead of the, what… four or five I was initially expecting? Something around that anyways.
The ‘final demo’ will be upped tomorrow, probably. Farewell! Have a good day?
So uhhhh… here’s that ‘final demo’ of Book 0.
Intended final anyway, might be fixes but I dunno, you know how these things go.
verymany!.. it won’t keep growing forever, though!
Book 0 v0.33.0.20241018
Even more chapters!
Eun-Ji’s growths increased a bit more.
Forrest class given access to Bows (Still needs animation, though)
Fixed up the enemy promoted bonus levels a bit (Was +9 (Easy/Normal) and +19 (Hard), now +14 and +24)
As per usual the first post has all of the stuff. …33 chapters when including all of the side chapters and prologue bits. That’s a bit. I think including all of what’s in Book I/II currently that’s nearly 50 chapters all up. Woah.
Oof blimey I thought this was tomorrow and was sorta planning to have the next chapter done with it, but that plan’s gone out the window, hehehe oops.
Hopefully anyone who wanders here enjoys it, if you are one of those wanderers, hello!
Obligatory endgame shopping chapter, that’s uh… that’s why this one took so little time compared to what a normal chapter’d take… although the side chapters just take less time in general… semantics! Unless my brain tells me ‘DO THIS!’ Chapter 25 will be the last ‘normal’ chapter before we get into the final chapter… whether that’s one big final chapter or parts like Tower of Guidance… I dunno yet!
It’s an especially unusual chapter if you did a certain number of things in a certain previous chapter, but… I’ll leave that up to you to find. Unless the alt playthrough’s being watched, I suppose, then there’s that. Hm.
Now to figure out where things go from here.
Yep, seems like I’m going Tower of Guidance on this. So uh… in terms of the literal chapter slots, I’m up to the Tower of Valni, so… oddly fitting, and I can replace ‘Tower’ chapter thing with ‘Final’ or… something. Figuring that out, having said that… I still dunno how many more chapters there are yet, hah. Maybe it’ll line up with the Valni floors with 8, that’d be a fun happenstance.
Another fairly quick one. I guess that happens when you’re not trying to wrangle all of the side stuff into the chapter on top of writing the new stuff. Who knew things could be logical, huh.
Sorta a ‘part 2’ of the previous thing in a way… although that’s probably moot since the final chapters are already parts of the final chapter itself. Well that analogy’s immediately gone through the window.
Anyways, if the next chapter is done this quickly I might just pair 'em up instead so I bump the topic less repetitively. …i’ve already done so for every bloody chapter after a certain point… but eh, I don’t do things that make sense.
Well, I think from here there are probably 3 or 4 final chapters left?
Very close finally.
What random stuff can I say today… uhhhhh… haven’t a clue. …Actually, FEE3 is basically over, so that’s something!.. I still need to watch ‘any’ of it though, oof. I’m a bit upside down, I can easily watch longer videos, it’s part of why my FEE3 thing was a playthrough and not a trailer, with that kind of thing I can leave it up and passively pay attention as I write, but with a trailer I uh… can’t, I need to properly pay attention, and since most of them this year are trailers I just haven’t been able to watch them. Maybe after I finish this I’ll finally have time.
One or two more ‘final’ chapters left, depending on how I decide to go with it, if there are two more, the last final chapter will probably be basically just the last boss (In an ordinary playthrough anyways-- not going to elaborate), like the FE7 Dragon and stuff.
Okay, so uhhh. I’m just going to say it. I’ve lost interest. I’ve ‘long’ since lost interest.
I’m probably done with this release (IF I can even pull myself to finishing it, one more chapter, what’s so difficult about that!.. Aside from the less than zero motivation) Sorry. Cleaning and polishing probably aren’t happen, I’m kinda done getting my hopes up-- what you see here in this thread is all I know ‘probably’ even PLAYED anything, and that only goes up to chapter 5 of Book 0, so it seems most of this project has been a total waste.
I don’t know if there’s so little feedback because I’m doing everything so right that there’s nothing to say, or if that I’m doing everything so terribly that there’s no chance of salvaging anything.
Well, at least I’m not stupid enough to actually be proud of anything I do, so that’s a plus. If it seems ‘sudden’… I’ve basically been running on fumes for the last year. I gave myself until FEE3 to see if anything came from it, but uh… doesn’t seem so. And… I don’t actually trust when people say they’ll do something (That’s probably just me-- I’ve had SO MANY cases where someone’s said they’ll do something only to… not. I don’t mind a ‘no’, but I hate being lied to in that way)
I don’t know. hopefully this was just a bad week, but there’s this for now. Looking forward to regretting saying this tomorrow.
Hopefully your day’s well.
I usually don’t play these projects until they’re done because I rarely notice any bugs for playtesting anyways, and I’d feel obligated to restart the playthrough every time I play a new update, but from what I’ve seen, this looks REALLY good and I’m looking forward to playing it. I’m sorry you’ve been losing and have lost motivation for it, but I know even without cleaning and polishing, I’ll still play and love it
I’m on chapter 2, and so far the biggest thing I’ve noticed is that the maps are just… Not very interesting
The characters’ skills also feel too powerful compared to the enemy quality
I hope it gets harder, or trickier, or something, after this first part
Edit: I am playing on normal mode, so I might just change it to hard
Edit edit: not me immediately losing yukon then velvet after replying
Hi! I’ve wanted to play this hack for awhile now but I’m unsure which book to begin with, in order to experience the full story. Do I start with numerical order (book 0-II) or just pick any book?
Oookay. Had a few days after my stupid little baby tantrum to get over myself. I’m definitely finishing the Book 0 thing off, how long that will take though… dunno! There’s a lot of ending/epilogue text (like 6 comics of stuff with most of them being pretty wordy), plus whatever else from all of the new stuff since that initial comic series, and uhhhh… alternate stuff that I cannot remember right now.
I’ll get to answering things in a bit! Sorry about that dumb dummy spit.
Edit: dumb fox says she’ll do things in a bit and totally gets distracted writing. Seems about right.
Bit of a half-half. I’ve basically got what I wanted out of this adaptation/lore expansion thing since reaching the final chapter bits and meant to finish it up to prove I can actually finish something. Something like that anyway. I forgot what I was getting at.
Raises hand I don’t understand map design at all, might improve as chapters go on as I started to get some hang of it, but I dunno. If there are any ideas on how to make this thing more intriguing I’ll look into it, but my mind is a bit blank for that.
Character skills might also even out as the game goes on and enemy growths make stats ramp up, probably? Maybe? I don’t mind nerfing characters if they’re a bit much though.
pfft who needs difficulty when karma can just whack you in the face immediately!
Story order is the same order as they’re numbered!
