Can we have Gheb? I will not elaborate any further.

I would definitely be down for some Dream of Five + The Morrow’s Gold Country representation. Two really great hacks with large casts to pull from.
Currently, there is no way within the hack to have your deployed unit be the unit that accesses shops. I forget if this is the case specifically to prevent bugs or because I did not consider the eventing spaghetti to include options for the deployed unit + all possible recruits to be “worth it”. This might be something I revisit in the future, but in general, I like that the hack has this borderline annoying element of frequent item management and inventory planning especially at the beginning of battles.
I would love to add some TLP representation. Especially a certain character who’s divine lightning shall pierce the skies.
But, from what I understand, the hack’s creator Blazer does not allow use of assets from TLP that are not already F2U and they also have no interest in answering “Can I use X asset?” requests. Which is completely understandable.
Another barrier is writing for Kelik. With these sorts of crossover characters, there is a process involving the creators to make sure the use of their character is acceptable. Dialogue in-character, lore friendly, mostly accurate representations of their characters as extensions of the worlds and stories they come from. I’m not sure who exactly wrote for Kelik, but if it was Blazer, I don’t think it is reasonable to expect that amount of involvement from them.
There is a very small chance that one day they could be a boss. At this point in development, I would prefer to use the very few remaining playable unit slots left on things like mechanically unique characters or crossover characters or mechanically unique crossover characters.

Love to know that it has been thought of at the very least, DoF is my favorite fan rom for fire emblem. Also, i found a bug i believe? its a sprite for a boss, it was not complete, although i dont know if it was because i play in a phone emulator. Edelgard seems to be missing a horn
Will the vesly’s selfrandomizer version be update as well?
Maybe another one of the Real Indie Games? Though as I understand some of them are a bit high profile to collab with a romhack lol. Dark Deity/Those Who Rule as example, although as a Phoebe killing machine truther that would make my day
I have not put out a HQ update in nearly 5 months because I’ve been working on a new project that I’d like to share with you now!
PROJECT DLDRMS (HQ RPG GBC)
I’m taking Hetja’s Quest, removing all the FE IP, removing enough of the rogue that I’m not tempted to consider it rogue, shifting genre to traditional menu-based JRPG, adding in a story that goes beyond description text, and cramming it all onto a Gameboy Color using GB Studio.
Why am I doing this?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
DLDRMS is intended to act as a companion piece to FE:RL HQ, going deeper into the lore of the world and its characters’ stories.
Who is Hetja, why are they a skeleton, and what was all that “there is a light inside you that won’t go out” business from the 2023 FEE3 trailer? Where’s that grandma we’re continually reminded to go find and why would she be in a labyrinth anyway? If the hub area has a coastline, and that jerk in the green armor has a boat, are there other places to explore beyond the sea’s edge?
Now the question that I’m sure is on everyone’s mind at this point, “You can’t even consistently put out updates and bug fixes when you’re working on ONE thing, how are you going to manage it while working on TWO things?”
Unfortunately, I have chronic Canonlyworkononethingatatimeitis. If I even think about working on two things at once, I’m bedridden for months. You saw what happened to MOBA Emblem, it hasn’t been updated once the whole time I’ve worked on Hetja’s Quest.
So, with a heavy heart, I must announce that due to me working on a new thing, I have to step down as lead “person who cannot resist feature creep and still hasn’t put out 1.0 even though the first public release was 3 years ago” for Hetja’s Quest.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because I’ve found a new convoluted way to make an arguably working car out of lego bricks.
While I won’t be maintaining the romhack anymore, that doesn’t mean a group of well-intentioned creatives can’t come together and take over. I’ve personally gathered a crack team of janitors, with the brightest minds and biggest hearts, to keep the lights on while I’m gone.

Surely, with this many cooks in the kitchen, the broth has got to taste phenomenal.
April Fools!
I’m still going to work on Hetja’s Quest, but the GBC game is real, so updates will probably come out at an even slower pace.

I am failing to be disappointed by this likely foolish news. I hope it’s real. Will Hetja kill Chaos?

I hope that, at the very least, they kill Charon.
