Should be fixed now!
You know what. Never mind, I donāt think I have to do it. Like I donāt have anything in the works. I could just maybe submit one thing or something.
Donāt worry, the newest game in my series is in the works. Just you wait! It will be another experimental game that is barely fire emblem. Yay.
Wow, weāre here already???
Maybe Demo/Trailer 2 will be for the E3 after allā¦
Edit: I noticed the Interview thing, could we do a showcase AND an interview, or would you prefer one or the other? I rather liked that text āinterviewā from last year, and Iād love to take part in something like that again.
This is an interesting question. I think āTrailer + Interviewā would be allowed (EDIT: IF that trailer was passed off to us before the submission deadline - we wouldnāt be making it for you), if they are to be uploaded as the same video, but āInterview + Gameplay Showcaseā or something like that seems like itād really easily run into runtime issues. As for text interviews, I suppose I wouldnāt mind if somebody would like to do such a thing over DMs and append it to their existing submission in some fashion. Iām not sure if Iād like to make those an official thing FEE3 is doing though, so much as a āso long as not too many people are asking, Iām willing to swap DMs for a bit while Iām doing other work.ā Thereād reach a point where if too many people asked, Iād just have to start saying no, though, so⦠Iāll think about it a bit more.
Makes sense. I think I had meant āTrailer + Interviewā, but itās like⦠almost 6AM where Iām at and I am understandably, very tired.
Thinking about it is good, I guess weāll find out in due time.
pretty epic stuff, chiefs.
good luck to olivia and gultykappa, donāt hesitate to ping me if you need help
Iāve submitted a link but I filled out the form looking for proof of a UPS incorrectly. I can PM the UPS to someone, or if itās easier, fill out the form again.
Feel free to DM the link to GultyKappa so it can be added to our spreadsheet along with the rest of your submission. Make sure you specify which submission itās for, though
Ah yeah, this is what Iām talking about. I should definitely have double the chapters I had last year by the time FEE3 rolls out again. Iām looking forward to seeing some trailers for both new and pre-existing projects!
In the immortal words of Asaph Fire Emblem:
āLetās keep it up, baby!ā
Hmm, I might try participating in this for once and showcase my recent release. Donāt know exactly what my submission would look like, but the opportunity is there now. Also comes at an awkward time for me but I could probably make it work with a deadline as lenient as that. Probably wouldnāt do the interview though, just the submission.
FEE3! The best time of the year
I might to do something for this year, if divine inspiration comes and gifts me something like last year (fun fact, the idea and the whole script for The Art of Bossing was written in just one day. I was really inspired). Either way, this year will be my last one, so might as well end it with a bang!
Going to somewhat lazily copy/paste a discord message to clarify an overview of the plans for the interviews:
Please DM me for any clarifications you need wrt this facet of the event.
15 years ago, myself and our Skype group of ROM hackers (dubbed Team OVERTROLL) were anxiously waiting to see if the recently released Mystery of the Emblem remake would be announced for release in the west. At the time, the series was struggling. With recent sales under-performing and no word on whether the latest entry in the series would be released outside of Japan and no announcement of a new game imminent at the time, the future of Fire Emblem was in doubt.
E3 came and went with no news on FE12 or a new Fire Emblem game for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands. If we couldnāt get Fire Emblem at the real E3, we would have our own E3 with blackjack and hookers.
The Fire Emblem ROM hacking and fan game scene was starting to blossom as a niche subforum on Serenes Forest prior to the creation of FEU. If Intelligent Systems and Nintendo, with the future of the series in doubt, wouldnāt satiate our thirst for more content ā well, then we would do it ourselves as fans.
We dubbed it FEE3, āthe E3 that Fire Emblem fans have been waiting for.ā
The inaugural event featured the heavy-hitters of its era: Dream of Five, Elibean Nights, Tactics Universe (later renamed to The Last Promise), Decay of the Fangs, the Sun Godās Challenge, FE7x, a fan translation of FE12, and more. I worked to organize it, and the event was hosted by Seph1212 (now known as SnakeMomMelissa).
This was prior to the announcement of Fire Emblem Awakening, which would come in September 2011. We now know that FE13 would revitalize the series after facing the threat of cancellation if the game failed to sell more than 250,000 units. The fears that we had as fans were true, and itās wild to think about what the future might have been if FE13 hadnāt been such a smashing commercial success⦠There is an alternate universe where FE13 didnāt catch fire, and we as fans would have been the ones left to carry the torch of Fire Emblem.
Although I am now retired from the scene, I check in on yāall from time to time ā and I still tune in to watch FEE3 every year. To see this event still going strong 15 years later, and to see how far the ROM hacking and fan game scenes have come compared to where we were in 2011, fills my heart with pride and joy.
Thank you @Olivia for organizing this special event. I know that it takes a lot of work, especially with how massive the scene has become in recent years. The sheer volume of projects and scale of what this event has become would have been unfathomable to us back in 2011.
Cheers to a great show in the year 2025!
