1.0.3 is still in the works, it’s a very large scale update that is addressing just about all of the common feedback received as well as a lot of new content. A beta test was just run for it so it will be coming fairly soon alongside a post and guide update!

Would you be able to say we can expect it this year with confidence?
The update is nearly complete, it should be out before the end of the month! Possibly very soon depending on the time I have to finish the final few things

Neat. Then I’ll wait for that to come out before I look into playing it myself.
Ok coming back after completing the game on lunatic. I will say the difficulty falls off quite a bit after the first few chapters and then I mostly never had to think too hard about what I was doing. Amelia as a wyver ride is a demon and I had her maxed in every stat by end of game, soloing everything from 3 tiles away with a harpoon. My archer with 3 range also could cheese almost every boss. I think bosses should start moving when you’re in their range, because it’s a little too easy to cheese them. Only map I really had trouble with was that final defend map, and the few times I got berserked and didn’t have a status restore staff, which just felt cheap and really forced me to slow down. Other than that really fun hack and definitely an improvement on the base game IMO.
Not sure if it’s something you already added or not, but would it all be possible to add an option to keep the original music tracks of the game? Thanks a lot and great work on this!
Im in champer 10 and the tower is not yet available. When can I access it? I need exp
The tower doesn’t unlock until near the endgame on Lunatic Mode specifically. It’s meant to be more challenging than other modes, so exp is less freely given out

This is really cool! I was wondering how hard it would be to allow players to play both routes in one playthrough. Each with unique units that all meet up after the route split. This would work similar to the Ephraim map (different lord and unique units). I never liked that all of the units went with one of the lords in sacred stones. Doesn’t make much sense story wise.
like project jade?
I’m not familiar with that one. Maybe I’ll check it out!
After Colm and Neimi’s A support convo, only Neimi had an A support with Colm, while Colm still had a B support. This resulted in things like Neimi gaining only +2 might from the support while Colm gained +3 might. Hilariously, Neimi did not have an ending at the Epilogue. Despite this bug, Neimi still dominanted in my playthrough. (she did not need that point of might)
Yeah this is a known issue, it’s fixed for the next version!
next version? when?

New secret event (Spoiler Warning!)
Save Glen:
This event can only be done on Eirika Route, you must choose to go with Eirika after chapter 8 to experience it.
Conditions -
- Chapter 5xx must be unlocked by beating Chapter 5x in 10 turns or less
- On Chapter 5xx, victory must be attained by defeating Valter instead of escaping
Event -
In the scene following Chapter 11, Creeping Darkness, when Valter attacks Glen, Valter will miss his second attack and
Glen will narrowly survive the encounter
Upon reaching Chapter 16, Beyond Escape, Glen will appear at the start of turn 5 as a powerful green unit. He cannot be
recruited, but can be talked to by both Eirika and Cormag.
If Glen survives until the end of the chapter and Cormag is alive and has been recruited, Glen will speak with Cormag. This will unlock the “Kinship” skill for Cormag which grants him a permanent +2 to Str/Spd. Glen will not join the party.
Successful completion of this event will also result in a minor change to Ch.21, Darkling Woods, where undead Glen will instead be replaced with undead Fado. Fado will be equipped with a unique, stronger variant of the Mortal Axe that is normally obtained by defeating Glen on this map.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where Hide had no visual effect play after stealing
Fixed an issue with Galeforce effect animations in fog of war
Fixed an issue where Rennac wasn’t using his unique palette
Fixed an issue with enemy myrmidon’s palette
Fixed an issue with Selena’s palette
Fixed an issue where Joshua’s Savant class had 5 movement instead of 6 (Generics had 6 after the 1.0.2 buff as intended)
Fixed an issue where Mina’s character endings didn’t appear on Ephraim route
Shadowshot now accurately displays what its effect is
Lots of minor fixes

I played a bit of this over the weekend, it’s very fun, good job with it! All the little changes really add up to almost make this feel like a whole new game. Love the +1 Bow Range on Neimi, it gives her a much needed boost and an immediate niche in reliably hitting from 3-range. Excited to give the new update a try
