Hello everyone! The project is far from dead! I have come to share more information regarding the progress of Sins of the Wild Rose! I believe you folks will find this one very interesting, so see it to the end!
The first (and probably least) is a look at the not-so beloved first boss. Bandits, as always. Gotta have some classic tropes thrown around if I want to be a proper Fire Emblem Romhack.
But now, for the part that I love the most, and the biggest thing that makes me keep coming back to working on Sins of the Wild Rose:
The main gameplay and story gimmick: Hero Powers
What are Hero Powers?
Hero Powers are special abilities that certain people in this world have. Specifically, people from our world that have been spirited away to Sins of the Wild Rose’s world possess the power to conjure powerful abilities that are exclusive to them, all channeled through their Soul (that’s the flower on the chest of Heroes, you can also see it on Micaella’s concept art!)
Hero Powers can be triggered during the Hero’s turn at will, so long as they have the necessary cost to cast the power. Heroes start at 1 power and can charge up to 10.
Some Heroes specialize in Powers that grant buffs to allies, others specialize in just to themselves or to grant specific Skills, weapons or, honestly, whatever you can think of. Hero Powers are what set appart the people from Heroes, they can use it for the good of the people, or they can use it for their own selfish reasons…
This list is a little preview you see of Micaella’s Powers. She doesn’t start with all of them, but as you progress your journey, Micaella will unlock more and more firepower to her arsenal.
That’s about it for this month’s update! I’m sorry for not giving updates as often as I’d like, but with some big projects out of my plate, I can finally start working hard on Sins of the Wild Rose to give a very satisfying experience. My first objective is to release an Alpha/Proof of Concept Patch for you guys to play. It’ll contain just Chapter 1, and then I’ll release the full DEMO of Sins of the Wild Rose. I hope you folks are looking forward to it. Please let me know your feedback. I love reading your comments and I very much appreciate that so many people are looking forward to my project. That’s it for now, bye!

those hero powers sound interesting. I wonder how did you come up with the idea?

It’s a combination of multiple things, but mainly Advance Wars and their CO power and Super CO Power. I also saw a few hacks, like Cerulean Crescent and TMGC, to name a few, that utilized interesting and unique events to spice-up the gameplay. But I feel mine is just different enough to feel unique. I’m looking forward to player reception once the Proof-of-Concept and Demo release!

do you plan on having custom windows colours
i think a pink themed one would fit well considering the mc , titlescreen and the menue

You betcha! The default will be pink, but the standard colors will be available to select too in the options menu. I also plan to do some extra custom graphics such as the arrow path when moving unit and the windows too.

other colours probably could be some variation of blue , maybe some light /medium purple or heck make it some kinda indigo, red would be kinda redunant with pink being main one…

I love the ideas I really hope there are other characters that invelupt the meaning of other colored roses like someone that wants to express love but doesnt know how to like the meaning of a blue rose or the brigand classic story expressing the yellow rose’s meaning of new beggnings and in their supports talking about their culture for more world building. Oh dang it this got my creative juicices flowing now and now i want to create these characters

HELLO EVERYONE! THE PROJECT IS NOT DEAD I SWEAR!
Sorry for my lack of updates recently! I’ve had some shortcomings with my health, but I’m all better to start working more on Sins of the Wild Rose. And don’t think I have made no progress! Currently, 5 chapters have been made (they’re intensive and with loads of content to sink your teeth in) but with my health back I wish to keep working more intensively and release the chapter 1 proof-of-concept as soon as possible.
For now, I’d like to take the time to answer the questions asked here. Feel free to make more questions and I’ll seek to answer them as time goes!
There are two beautiful portraits revealed down below 
I’m toying around with the idea. I can tell you that I WANT to make a skirmish-like feature to allow those who wish to train to be able to do so, but I can’t guarantee that will make it to the final release
Well I have good news for you! There ARE other characters with flowers. They’re not really roses, I think JUST roses would be limiting, so instead I’ve branched it to the whole flora.
Meet Tabitha, she’s also a ‘Hero’, meaning she’s also from our world, spirited away to fantasy, and she has quite the infamy to back up her moxie. Being one of the few Ascended Heroes in the continent, the number of people who can match her overwhelming power are less than you can count in a hand. So then, why would she care what a small Hero like Micaella does? Well… only by playing will you know.
Her flower is a Viola.
And this here is Morena, at least that’s what she likes calling herself. She’s a Hero who oversees the fortress that once belonged to a terrorizing marauder. After shaming him and stripping his title, Morena made it her mission to provide a sustainable community where criminals, slaves and those without a place can live and reform their lives. Sadly, her efforts aren’t well seen by the common folk, who think a good bandit is a dead bandit, but Morena won’t let her infamy stop her from saving lives in need. (So then, why is she an enemy in this screenshot? Well, play and find out!)
Her flower is a Dandelion!
That’s it for now. Thank you everyone for the many eyes interested in this passion project of mine, I’ll continue to work hard and not hardly work.

I’m guessing you mean something similar to Awakening. Well, if that ends up not working, you could always just have an area that’s mentioned to be a massive bed of monsters that adventurers are known to go into to train.
