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.
GuiltyKoopa - Team Lead & Story
Daarmanitan - Translation Lead & Story
TheAtlast - Map Design
Rivinyan - Map Balancing
Westly - Wizard #1

Stuffano - Battle Animations
GigaPhoenix - Battle Animations
CheeseHolder - Item Icons
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.

Just cleared a full run with the GOAT Haar, I loved the concept of this hack! I haven’t really dabbled in many roguelikes outside of Vampire Survivors, but with this, I need to play more. Seeing the familiar faces of many FE games put a smile on my face in the same way seeing Castlevania characters in VS. It combines my favorite aspect of FE games in that you power train a unit to see them absolutely destroy other units later on, with the unknown factor of roguelikes. I haven’t really dabbled into the story through recruitment in the villages (I usually pick an item or funnel into strength), so I am very curious to see more of this world you created. I’m gonna recommend this to as many as I can. This hack deserves it and then some.

That’s a real beast of a Haar you got right there. Thank you for the kind words.

I. may have messed up big time. Iunno. some point after a bonus stage I got sent straight to Off the beaten path without a preparations menu. immediately opening this chapter has no character in the starting spot, then quickly scrolls down. and Im unable to do anything. sorry if this already has a solution I didnt check yet.
If I remember correctly, this bug comes from updating without going through “Safely Update” first.
The hub’s map and initial spawn tile changed over the updates and the game gets a little confused unless you use safely update.
If you have a save file from before updating, you can “downgrade” back to the patch you were previously on, then when you’re sent back to the hub at the end of the bonus stage, you can access safely update/upgrade to the current patch. Unless you were previously on a very old version of the game (Older than v0.7.07), then you will probably have to start a new game.
If you don’t have a save file that works/safely updating does not fix the issue/your save is from a very old version of the game, DM me your save file I should be able to fix it.
Actually, I did start on this game like 2 days ago, it cant have been an old savefile. its fine tho, I didnt advance enough to care about resetting. it was like. a sucessful dark run on bow skelly because I got a point blank skill from a quizmo and a bow range +1 from. …Was it beating Dorothy?? anyways, I started another save file, but I can still send the bonus stage save if you think it can be solved from that point.
Ah I see okay. That is weird behavior then for sure. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again on your new save.
with a bit/alot of dark magic( quick save- quick load). I reach chapter 45. I got a lot of gold beatle. Is it save / change to gold after run??
SO.. does that mean this project is dead then?
Nope, I am still working on the hack + a Hetja spin off game. I’m not able to put updates out at the same speed I used to because of my health. Hetja’s Quest will one day be [COMPLETE], I’m just not sure when that will be. It’d probably release sooner if I had some help :~)

Sorry lol that is not my specialty but it was a great time, and I was sad at the idea it fell apart like so many other hacks. Beat my first run when I picked it up last night. But that took like 3 attempts before I cleared which is unusual because I’m pretty good at rouge likes. So great challenge. By cleared I mean I retired Yunaka at stage 41 because that -5 HP every level had her at 1 at this point
