[FE8] Fire Emblem One

Projects Concepts
1

Yes, you read the title correctly. I am giving myself exactly one week to faithfully recreate as much of FE1 as I can in the FE8 engine.

Features:

  • Every chapter from the original Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (not its remake) recreated in GBA. Yes, they’re all seize maps.

  • Script copied directly from the anniversary edition of FE1, since that’s the only official version of the game in English.

  • Distant Roads from FE8

  • Nonexistent balance, as fun is not the goal

  • No skill system

  • Bowgun

The patch download will be available on the 16th of May, 2021, one week after the making of this post.

Sounds exciting!

FE1 is a somewhat of an interesting game mechanically but it is very outdated with how slow it is.
Looking forward to see what you share with us here.

For me balancing ruins the fun. I like breaking games rather than needing to midmax the strategy.

Wow, I didn’t expect this thread to blow up. Thanks everyone for your interest in the project.

I will be posting progress updates at the end of every day, with the first one coming about 5 hours from now. Stay tuned!

I hope you’re out of school dude because damn that must be ruining your sleep schedule, to attempt to recreate an entire game in a week is insane

I don’t have a life. I wake up in the morning, heckrom the whole day, maybe play some smash ultimate, and go to sleep (seriously)

I almost forgot to make this post!

As promised, here is the End of Day One Update:

  • The first 8 maps are finished, a third of the whole game. Of those eight, the first two are evented and in a playable state. However, I’ve decided to make all the maps first and event them afterward, making my progress easier to keep track of.

  • I decided that all character portraits will be class cards to cut down on asset use, especoally since most of the cast don’t have free to use portraits available. This also has the bigger implication that there won’t be a script at all. All of this is subject to change if I decide to keep updating this after the first week, but for the time being, focusing strictly on gameplay is for the best.

  • There will still be bowguns
