QoL Additions

(This is a list of all QoL changes, old and new)

  • Battle animations are now faster overall, and can be sped up by pressing the R button.
  • Press select to see the danger zone.
  • You can toggle between battle animations ON and OFF by holding the L button before a battle.
  • Map battles now have the stats (hit, attack, crit…) displayed.
  • You can now do actions after a support, or after attacking (this may cause some visual bugs)
  • The Music Room and Support Room are now fully unlocked from the start! But DO NOT enter the support room until after beating the game: it contains heavy spoilers of the game, both by displaying all future playable characters and the support conversations themselves can contain spoilers.
  • You can disable healing/dancing animations in the settings. Note that this also disables HP bars on the map!

Simulation theory is quite amusing, and I like the idea of a game based around that concept.

Very cool hack premise!

After defeating Murray in Ephraim’s first chapter, the game crashed.

I’m sorry that happened to you! I am trying to fix the problem. After fixing it I will have to change the link. Do you want me to give you a separate rom that has the first 6 chapters complete?

I don’t think I need a new save file, just a patch with the fixed version of chapter 7 should do.

Version 1.0.2 is now online! Download here!
The second half of chapter 6 is blocked until I can fix it. Now it ends after traveling to Renais.

Not sure about dropbox, but I know googledrive lets you update files without forcing you to make a new link, if you want to have a permanent link there and just roll out updates.

Good luck with your project!

Might give it a try, i used Dropbox bc I just saw everyone else using it and thought it was the only way. Thanks for the advice!

The second Patch is launched! Adding 12 new chapters, a new chapter 11, and other things! See the Post above to read more about it.
You can download them here!

Huh. I playtested that map a lot, and Zephiel always won. Congrats, you’ve achieved the good ending (?
Did it crashed or something at the end?

In chapter 9, it crashed completely for an unknown reason. Happened it on the starting scenes.

Fixed. There’s a new patch which fixes this issue, donwload Patch 0.2.2 and skip to chapter 9. Unfortunately, the stats won’t be the same, and Eirika is at level 1, but if you don’t want to play all of the chapters again you can skip them.

Like promote at 10 and then level up to 10 in the promoted class? No, I don’t think it does. You can learn like, for example Eirika’s skill at either level 20 in her unpromoted or promoted class. Or at least that’s how it worked for me.

I was enjoying this but then i got to ch5 and it was really buggy. I was rescuing the green units during the second stage and then on the third stage they were duplicated, but vanished once dropped. Once i routed that section, the event from completing part 2 happened again. Then there was a particularly big gap (3 turns or so) between the end of the stage and the start of the fourth. And once i routed that one nothing happened.
I used builder to hack a way to win, so i could give more feedback. Then in ch6, the sidequest and the silver sword village use the same flag, so i can’t get both. I need to take a break now. Letting you know of the bugs.

Chapters 1-4 were fun, at least.
