Can’t wait to see this hack complete, it looks so interesting
And I second that person who said they’re partial to the earth mage guy, really liked the design

i’m not good to say much when it comes to balancing games haha ^^,
but I have to say it is quite different and for now and not too complicated.
Not a fan of fe fangames that make dozens skills and have so many things like mana and stocks and taxes… (the latters are jokingly )
I also like the fact that I have to make sure Jadwiga gets enough exp else the chapter ends in a bad end. Well for the first two chapters that i played so far haha
have to make an edit since after the chapter when they all were signing their enrollment papers
the screen faded to black and the game stopped for me. Resetting helped though.
playing on vba m 2.1.11

I started the hack!
It’s absolutely crazy to have an fe4 dancer jeigan, but I like him!
So far I’m on chapter two, and vitovt and gedeminne are a bit annoying, with their elitism, I hope they get some character development
This hack is amazing and I’m looking forward to playing more
Vitovt is feeling a little weaker than the others, because of his bad accuracy
I also really like that Jadwiga needs to be at certain levels so far, really shows the growth

So, I finished chapter 2
Why does Jagiello not have more spells?
I wish there was a way to know which specific levels gain new spells, just knowing units gain them on level 5 made me want to level everyone to it
Keystut being the only effective damage dealer and healing off overdamage feels like it could easily be too good, but that’s more of a balance thing
Player units getting attacked without countering sometimes shows their attack power, but with horrible hit(0-20), even though they don’t counter
Gedeminne feeling overshadowed, he isn’t fast enough to feel like “the fast one”, given that morta is just as fast as him at base, even having more speed growth. His only strength over her is his hp growth being higher by 20 and some more defense, which they both suck at. It feels to me like he could be the more accurate one, getting crit due to high skill too, while morta could be strong and fast, but inaccurate
I love witten so much, silly lil guy is bulky and talks too much, he’s so much fun
I also noticed the blade ward’s debuff effect only works on initiation, maybe say that somewhere?
If a unit has too many spells and equipment, their spells are hidden, which looks like this

I am aware of the visual issues mentioned re: battle display and spells being hidden, both are sadly limitations with c-skillsys I simply have to accept. I will mention them both in the start of the thread so people are aware of it.
Keystut is interesting, I’ve had him fall off for other people testing this hack, so it’s interesting to hear that he’s great for you. There’s no harm in him being good but see how well he holds up by the end of the demo first.
A few other units learn effective damage spells on level up so he will not stay as the other one.
Morta will likely be nerfed a bit as right now she’s been constantly praised as one of the best units in the hack and her being too dominant makes the other long-range units get overshadowed. Probably a bit less spd to make her more of a raw dmg glass cannon.
Thank you very much for doing your playtesting!

Hello again!
I’m on chapter 6
Olgierd shows as effective always, probably a glitch
How much is 40wexp? Morta got from d to c, but jadwiga only has a third from d to c
Will it be possible to change spell order? Jadwiga always defends with nos, and sometimes I need the extra accuracy
I defeated Barbara on turn 4 and missed every village on the map
…oops. well, that’s life
Witten learns aqua, which is a venus spell, that he has no rank in. I really like him, so I hope by the next patch it will be fixed and he can melt those arrows and flames
Gedeminne’s name is messed up in the support menu
Butwyd is referred to with both he and her, which if it’s intentional, I wish it was more clear

That’s just prince Innes character description LOL. It hasnt been changed yet i think.

Nope, that’s one of the things intended to set player units apart - their “default spell”, which is the one they default to on enemy phase, cannot be changed. So, Mindau will always defend on 1 range while Keystut and Morta will be defenseless at 1 range on enemy phase.
Jadwiga starts at E tier, not D, which is why it looks like that for you.
Yep, all of these are bugs and already addressed on the working build, so they will be fixed for the next demo update!
That’ll be it for the demo on your part, hope you enjoyed it!

Hi I patched the ups on a clean FE8US but it didn’t seem to work on MyBoy simulator.
It only shows a frozen white screen. Should I use a different simulator?
Hello, yes! Having tested it on MyBoy myself, I can confirm that it does not work with it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is there a recommended emulator? I’m running retroarch’s mgba core and I consistently get crashes when enemies attack.
I’m not sure what would be the best on mobile, on desktop I personally use mGBA and it works more or less smoothly.
Yeah, idk why I’m getting freezes then because I am using mgba. I tried both retroarch’s mgba core and the standalone mgba. Suppose I’ll try repatching, but it isn’t glitchy anywhere else. Maybe later I’ll also try running the file on my regular desktop but it isn’t feasible for me to play there long-term 
The only other thing I can think of is I am playing on a steam deck, but I don’t think that’s the issue - the mgba native to it have run fe hacks with no outside issues before.
Yeah, sorry about that 
As mentioned in the OP, c-skillsys is a rather unstable foundation, and it seems to be a bit allergic to mobile play. Maybe some other emulator could work, but this is something I don’t have much experience in.
I definitely know mgba on PC works, because I use it, and it more or less works, save for a few hiccups mentioned in the OP.
To be clear, a steam deck is essentially a Linux PC, closer in operation and structure to a laptop than a cell phone which is why I’m a little baffled at this lol. But thanks! This hack immediately caught my attention so I’ll be keeping an eye on it and hoping whatever this is gets ironed out.

Adding Witten to my list of beloved tanky mages right next to Abdul from CotA and Fazang from Hag. This guy is never coming down from his caffeine high.
Seriously though, Frostbite and Coffee might be one of the best combos in the game rn? Spell that can’t miss, paired with an item that gives you Galeforce in exchange for lowering accuracy. I don’t care if the Coffee gets nerfed, I’m still putting my money on Witten being top tier.
