It sounds like every unit in this hack has a representative plant. Is that right? That’s a really cool concept and I love it. I can’t wait to try the demo!

Hey folks, here’s the early 2025 Demo I promised you! Right on time, am I right? Didn’t want to release too late or anything… 
Sins of the Wild Rose - Demo 1 - is finally here!
Without dillydallying too much, here’s the important links that you guys have so patiently been waiting for!
This google drive has access to the UPS file, how to install it and the credits for the wonderful people that helped me make this a reality!
Is there no discord server? I’d love to see the work in progress!
There is one now! I wanted to wait until I fully finalized the first Proof-of-Concept Demo for Sins of the Wild Rose before I started a community. I want to prove that I’m not just big talk and I can get something done… so here it is!

And now for a brief Q&A, because I imagine you people might be wondering the direction for this hack, and how fast/slow development is going to be.
Q: Why did the Demo take so long?
A: Truthfully, a myriad of things has happened to me in 2025. Some bad, many good, but overall a very stressful, life-changing year for me. 2025 is when I got my college degree, I had life-changing surgery, I got a job, I worked on another big project that basically halted the progress for my own game and I burned out from working on said big project . If we take total development time, I worked on Chapter 1 for 3 months with a 6 month+ break
Q: So you only made 1 chapter so far?
A: No! Actually, I have the full 7-chapter Demo sorta ready, sorta not. You see, I have 7 chapters of my project completed, but the truth is that I honestly think they range from mediocre to bad. They don’t fit the standard I want to push for my project. What you see in the first chapter of Sins of the Wild Rose is what you should expect the rest of the game to be, the other chapters are made, but I’m not satisfied with them, and I’ll work continuously so that they are as engaging and detailed as the first chapter in this DEMO.
Q: What can we expect from Sins of the Wild Rose?
A: The years have changed, and my vision for the project has matured, but it didn’t lose sight of what it originally was. I intend for Sins of the Wild Rose to be a story-driven game, filled with novel and interesting concepts narratively and in gameplay. I’m an ambitious gal, but I’m not one to abandon something I start, and with the support I got so far from my friends, loved ones and the community, I want Sins of the Wild Rose to be a fully-fledged game that all can experience. A story about suffering, death and flowers.
Q: When will Sins of the Wild Rose be finished?
Yeah, that’s a tough one. Honestly? It might span years. I want the game to be about 20 to 25 chapters at most, and with my personal life and my perfectionism, each chapter could take about 1 to 2 months to finish. Doing the math, and lowballing it, Sins of the Wild Rose would take at least 2 years to finish. And honestly? I’m alright with that. I will keep posting regular, weekly updates on the Discord Server, and I don’t intend to lower the quality of my project or give up halfway through. You folks have been patient with me, and I’m thankful for that. If you’ll continue supporting my project, I’ll continue trying my best to deliver a wonderful story.

Phew! I worked so damn hard this week on the project, with bugfixing, taking feedback from close friends, working on the things I’m pretty bad and trying to improve myself. But I’m glad to get this off my chest and to the world. I reeeally hope I didn’t mess anything up… Please let me know if I did anything.
Thank you, everyone, for following the development of Sins of the Wild Rose.

What an impressive first chapter! I was pretty intrigued when you posted the first few screenshots and even then this blew my expectations out of the water. The level of polish on display is pretty mind-blowing. Very excited to see where this hack goes from here. Also, I love Bear and he is getting all of the stat boosters I can get my grubby little hands on. He even got a speed level up for me in the first chapter!
During the prologue the title was surrounded in colons like :this: I wasn’t sure if that was intentional or a bug.

What an incredible demo, I can tell that lots of love went into it to make it more than just the average FE8 hack.

I mean if there are seven chapters, the demo could be the way to get feedback on the chapters and ideas how to improve them, but only if you wanna. Really looking forward to this one. Best wishes^^
