Hello everyone, a life update to those who are following this hack.
I’m very happy that my hack has gotten a lot of interest throughout the past year, and that I got a chance to show my project off in FEE3 last year, where it was received with support. For a first time hacker, I feel like I am doing pretty well.
On Monday, I present myself to my city’s conscription center and I leave for nine months of mandatory military service. It is a peacetime draft, so you don’t have to worry about my health, but it does mean that I will not be able to work on the hack during that time. (Among… other more important life things of course, but I digress) We will have access to our phones and be able to use them on certain parts of the day, and after the first month we should also be able to leave for home for weekends, so I won’t be completely gone, but consistent hack work will have to pause for now.
The 2025 Patch has been updated, probably for the last time this year.
I’ve fixed two major bugs - skipping the Chapter 1 cutscene on Ch8 would teleport the boss to the upper left corner; and Steel Shield bugged out in the last update and gave +50 base HP. Several units have also had their bases and growths adjusted and buffed - Johanna, Sieghart, the Emerie crew, Avreliya, Macuil, Irina and Flavia - after testing, to make them more viable in Hard (and in some cases more viable in general).
Leaving for the conscription center tomorrow morning - good luck everyone, and have fun playing the updated patch!
A little under a month ago, I was discharged from the army due to suffering a knee injury (you have no idea how much it sucked. I had to take my oath with several painkilling drugs in my bloodstream so I could stand in line lol), so I’ve been tinkering with LoS ever since. Now, I have updated the 2025 Patch in the thread once again!
There’s been several changes, both balance and graphical, with even more on the way.
And, alongside all of that, Chapter 14 (or Verse XIV) has been completed! It’s a defense map where you have to protect an area around your castle from enemy armies and hold back an onslaught from unique units and numerous tough promoteds.
Thank you, that’s a bug, glad to see you are giving the current build a test. Seems you’re on ch14 now, did you spot anything else that might need fixes/rebalancing? How were the chapters overall?
I’ve made a hotfix to the 2025 Patch with these two issues fixed, was a flag mixup for the broken ch13 village - and again, thank you very much for giving it a try
Thank you very much for the interest, and for the concern! I am doing better now, trying to figure out how I can get compensated for my surgery (if it’s possible) while recovering by myself. Thankfully, romhacking doesn’t need me to use my legs much so it doesn’t restrict me
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last update.
There will not be an update this month, as I intend to make two verses instead of one for the next patch update. However, here is a teaser of what I’ve been working on:
