Considering Mikey said all of these things within only the last few months and heās been working on this project for 6+ yearsā¦ yeah it probably is. He just has a different development style from other creators.

I guess I should say something about the development of this project.
Depressing text
The project started almost 12 years ago, since then, me and my friends have been working on it. We have started over at least twice in the span of those 12 years just to make improvements in the story, and to use better engines.
The thing is, that we are adults. We have responsabilities and less time to work in side projects, thatās one of the reasons the development has been very slow.
On top of that, the pandemic affected us. I lost my job last year because of that, my friend, who is the main writer, is busy with his master degree, and Atey has personal stuff to deal with too.
This will sound rough, but, this project is not our main priority.
That doesnāt mean weāll throw 12 years of work to the garbage, someday weāll finish this project.
In the meantime, sorry for making you wait.
TL;DR:
Personal stuff is slowing down the development.

Hope you get well soon
Great post. I only said 6+ years because I wasnāt certain of the exact timeframe, but I was fairly certain I first saw Crossover around 2012. Crazy how itās been well over a decade since you started. Keep at it! I love seeing how the project evolves along with your skills and life advancements!
Alsoā¦ sucks you lost your job because of covid.
Some progres, yay~
Ch. 9x is done, the first gaiden chapter with simple requirements.
Ch. 9 has a base conversation that gives the hint of how to unlock it.
Iām doing some experimental concepts with this chapter, like having a temporal team that will only appear in this chapter, and multiple endings.
Thereās only one way to lose in this chapter, and that is allowing the enemies to take the gate.
And speaking about a temporal team, I made a simple ASM code to prevent units from trading:
Why?
Because I like to watch the world burn.
Because some players would simply give everything to Ike in the final turn.
And thatās it.
Next update: in 2 monthsā¦ maybe?
I finally got a job, Iām adjusting my schedule to work in the hack again.
Hopefully I can do some progress more often.

Facebook reminded me how old this thing is, letās see the cringe.
Anime characters in a hack?
My teen self surely was a freaking weeb.
These two were supposed to be Hannah replacements, but since that mechanic isnāt present in FE8, they were cut.
And when the base was added, I decided to put Anna instead, she can be multi-purpose and fits better than random anime characters.
Atey did a excellent job changing my old Lucius splice into a unique character.
And she did the battle animation too.
Oh, thatās an scrapped idea.
I was planning to do an Ace Attorney-like event, but it was too complicatedā¦ a bunch of conditionalsā¦ that was a nightmare, I donāt know what was I thinking.
The AA characters stayed tho.
Some CG were cut too, because they didnāt make sense in the new storyā¦
Ohā¦ memesā¦
99% of these were cut thank god
Ah yes, I almost forgot this was supposed to be a playable character, but the creator of that character left the project and we replaced that slot with Soleil.
Gameplay-wise, Soleil was a better option, because the only character that could use lances at that time was Florina (Ephraim joins very late), not to mention that we had an excess of magic units.
Kanningu is still in the hack as a NPC.
Well, I have improved this thing over the last 12 years, and Iām still working on it.
Currently I finished all the world map intros (Up to Ch. 10), and Iām halfway thru Ch. 10 (Iām working on the ending now)
Maybe I can release a demo once I reach the chapter in which the FE7 version was left (8~9 chapters from now)

Minor Update:
The maps up to Ch. 18 are already done because they didnāt need any changes.
I have to update the scripts because there are 3 characters that werenāt present in the previous version.
Hereās one:
The other two donāt have portraits yet, but weāre working on that.
And I have to adapt the events from FE7 into FE8.
Thatās all for now.

I am very curious ļ¼ā¹ā”ā¹ļ¼
Ch. 10 and 11 are done.
But I have found some issues that I donāt know how to fixā¦
Spell animations donāt load in the Arena, even the native ones (including the arrow animation)
Thanks to @Tequila this has been fixed.
The game freezes when trying to use a skill scroll or a stat boost item (which now use the same system as the skill scroll) in the prep screen.
This bug is present in the current Skill System.
Also, I havenāt tested all custom animations, but some play a random sound when they miss.
Does someone know how to fix these issues?

Sorry for the long absence, I was dealing with [the virus] for the past couple of weeks and that prevented me from continue working.
Luckily my case was mild, but still it was a painful experienceā¦
I have no damage in my respiratory system, and Iām fully recovered.
But I also had some unfortunate eventsā¦ I wonāt get into details of that, itās something very personal and Iām still trying to recover from it. I only mention it because itās part of why I was absent, but I wonāt talk more about that.
Well, that being said, Ch. 12 was halfway done before all this happened. The map and the script are done, and Iām working on the events.
Also, new character joins the party in this chapter.
I still have some personal stuff to deal with this weekend, Iāll resume working next week.

Update:
Everything is done up to Ch. 16, Ch. 17 is halfway thru.
Three characters from Three Houses has been added.
We decided to not add the main lords of each house, instead we added a character from each house that either their class is not in the unit pool, or that we could use their personality for supports.
Other changes
Thanks to @Vesly, @Huichelaar, @Pikmin1211, @Teraspark, and @Sme now there are:
-
Equippable accesories
(They either give stat bonuses or give a skill) -
Unlock Staff can open chests
-
Steal Staff has benn added
(The message is from vanilla FE8, it only can steal items and non equipped weapons) -
Again/Refresh Staff, Restore+, Petrify Staff, Enfeeble Staff, Hex Rod, Entrap Staff, Bloom Festal and Sun Festal were added too.
Again works like in FE12, but its range is Mag/2 instead of the whole map.
Restore+ works like Restore in 3H, itās range is Mag/2.
Petrify, Enfeeble, and Hex inflict their respective status on the target.
Entrap works like in Fates, range Mag/2.
Bloom/Sun Festal are weak Heal/Mend staves, but they have 1-2 range. -
Items that modify growths when are in the unitās inventory
(Basically scrolls, and they do stack) -
Stat booster items are now in a single item slot, they use the durability item mechanic. That freed up some item slots to add the staves and other weapons.
-
AS formula was changed.
Instead of [ Spd - (Wt - Con, 0 if negative) ]
Now it is [ Spd - (Wt - ((Str+Con)/2), 0 if negative) ]
Thatās all for now. See you next year

Oh my, I wonder with who the three chosen students are gonna interact, itās intriguing~
So many new Staves! 
Wow, Iām surprised with all the options added.
Itās always nice to see some new developments from Crossover! I wish you and everyone involved the best!
Another minor update.
Almost everything up to Ch. 17x is already done, Ch. 18 is next.
Scripts need a lot of revision to improve writing and clear some inconsistencies due to the change of story (ex. Sonia was a boss in Ch. 27 [now Ch. 18, filler arc Lynās route was removed], despite being in Bern by the dialogue in the previous chapter)
Also, Ch. 18 is the last one to be imported from the FE7 version, not only the previous hack iteration, but FE7 storyline as a whole.
From Ch. 6 to Ch. 18 there are only 2 new maps, the rest use the same maps as FE7, some are used twice in different chapters. This is done on purpose. In one instance itās because the group is returning from where they started, and in the otherā¦
Minor spoilers, I guess
Because itās a āwhat the characters are doing while the other chapter happensā kind of scenario.
But hey have different goals and ally/enemy placement.
From Ch. 20 onwards new maps will be created, maybe there will be some exceptions, but I want to reuse the least possible from that point.
And yes, I said Ch. 20 because Ch. 12 uses the FE7 boat map, and in Ch. 19 the same boat will be used, but in a slightly different position.
Probably there will be a public beta/demo up to Ch. 20 or 21, Iām not sure yet, but I want some feedback about the difficulty because this is being made with only one difficulty in mind, and the only two people who have played this are quite experienced with FE, so, what they find moderate can be very difficult for others.
Also, in the past I was designing the game around āyou must use a lot of characters and rotate themā idea, but since I changed to FE8, Iāve implemented some things that would allow the player to finish a chapter even if they havenāt trained certain units that are mandatory but are not forced to be used in each chapter.
But there will be a point in which you wonāt have other choice but to use what units are available.
You can think what you want with that statement, I wonāt elaborate any further because itās spoiler territory.
Thatās all for today.
Iāll go back to work sporadically on this.
See ya 
Have this random screenshot due to the lack of screenshots of actual progress
