Is there a way you can bring over your old Progress?
The patches should be compatible with earlier builds, though I’m not sure how exactly a mid-run leveling system would change if you updated it to be fixed growths. For modes like mercenary mode and capture being available, you’d have to start a new file if you were mid-run.
On chapter 8, there’s a bug after defeat all enemy, the chapter doesn’t end, I tried to restart the chapter and suspend but it doesn’t work, also I play on pizza boy A (sorry for bad English).
Hey Dekebors, firstly thanks for playing Illuminated!
I’ve just gone through Chapter 8 twice and unfortunately could not replicate the issue that you are having. I’m hoping it is an emulator issue. Can you tell me exactly who got the last kill in the chapter? Anything specific about the events in the chapter that might help me nail down where the issue is?
If you are still having an issue, send me a DM and I’ll put together a patch for you that ends the chapter forcefully.
It’s Lancaster who got the last kill on second run . Also it’s on the green unit phase.
Lancaster is supposed to get the last kill on that map so I’m not sure what is happening. If you happen to have a save file you can send me, I may be able to progress it forward for you if you send it to me via direct message. If you don’t, send me a direct message and I’ll provide you a new patch that forcibly ends the chapter.
How do I send my save file to you?
Dunno if PizzaBoy saves are something I can mess with actually. Check your DMs and I think I have a solution for you.
Hey everyone, happy holidays!
Just a quick, small patch day for Illuminated. As it was mentioned to me several times in the discord, there are two rout chapters in the game that were not playing nice with Capture functionality and had the potential of soft locking the player. These have both been given a workaround fix and the OP has the most recent versions (1.11).
Thanks!

To the creator of this hack;
I only just got to the chapter after Captain Glen. I know it’s just a hack of an old GBA game, but man, you got my getting a little misty eyed just over Jay’s ethical crisis, and Finch and Sam being there for him as experienced soldiers.
Good writing. Wasn’t flashy or preachy, and actually invested me in your characters there. Excited to play this game out, and if I ever make one of my own I’d want to follow your example and base the game around a select few characters rather than a 25+ unit bench. Superb choice there as well.

Hi Draygan, thanks for the compliment and glad you have been enjoying the game so far! Hopefully it continues to stay that way as you continue to play it. Good luck!
First of all, nice hack, currently on chapter 2, but when I tried to play it, the game froze
Turns out it was an emulator bug, I was using John GBAC :V

I just finished your game, and I created a profile on this page just to tell you that… You’ve done an impeccable job.
It had been years since a game left me with such a feeling of emptiness when I finished it. Every character, every map, every perfectly crafted line of dialogue, every enemy, and every objective transports you to something more than just a simple FE game.
Thank you so much for giving me so many hours of pure entertainment, a rollercoaster of emotions. And for putting so much love and care into your project. The story is sublime and the custom settings make it much more fun.
I don’t know if you have any plans to create another game, but I’ll be keeping an eye on your talent. Thanks again for creating this masterpiece.

Hey Drackmor, thanks for the kind words and I’m really glad you enjoyed the game. I really enjoyed making it and it’s always great to hear when people liked it as well.
As of now, no plans for another game. I do think the universe that was created could allow for more games, but unfortunately too busy nowadays to put any meaningful time into another project.
Thanks again!

I’ve played up through Chapter 8’s intro thus far and I’m loving the actual emotional depth Jay has a character. I imagine I’ve seen barely anything yet since there’s still 8’s outro through 31 to go. Loving the game thus far playing Lunatic on the Fixed Growths patch.

Sokaballa, hmmmm…..I really don’t know how to start this
First of all I would like to congratulate you and your team and to say a very big thank you for this game and the amazing experience you’ll have playing this masterpiece. It felt so spectacular playing this game. For context this review is very late. So back in November I played it and everything about this game was amazing, after I finished the game I went to play some other ones but then this past week came back to play new game+ and now I can give my fair analysis on it. The story similar to the art style and design is so unique. The choice of music is god-like and I’ve never seen a cast of characters so memorable.
Spoilers ahead
Story
First of all the beginning and progression of the story as you play is immaculate. The main characters Jay, Finch, Sam, Lana, Cordelia and Clinton bring so much to the story. It’s actually rare having a core group like this having so much effect in so many chapters.
Around the desert sections of the game, after Zaire killed Lancaster, I grew so much hatred for Zaire, I actually wanted to enter the game and kill him with my bare hands. And after he killed himself, I wasn’t satisfied but I never expected him to return nor did I expect to even work with him. I sympathize with Lancaster, he’s madman but he’s just trying to get home, unfortunately there’s no home for him to go to.
My favorite Chapter is chapter 23. The perfect chapter where the stakes are high, the true story starts to unfold after Lancaster reveals his return and three amazing lords engage you, all the while you relying on your Mentor and Leader Caius to warp all of us out of there. And the music in that chapter keeps you immersed into it 100% of the time both the music for the player phase and the enemy phase.
Favourite songs
Song #88 - Fatalize(ToS) - A Reliable Chair. Love love love this tune, I even listen to it when I’m playing other fire emblem games
Song #09 - Fields of Hopes and Dreams
In-game Music 10/10
Overall Story 9.5/10
Characters
I don’t really have much to say here because I said the important stuff in the story sections however I would have preferred if Cordelia could have transformed into a battle sage rather than just a regular Sage
I love Lenore, she is beautiful, gorgeous, powerful and I wish she was in my group. I’m not gonna goon to her but the idea did cross my mind.
This is the group (15units) that went with me to the final stage and since it’s new game+ I added a some mercenaries into the fold based on what I needed from my units
My favorite class is a battle sage and swordmaster so definitely I love BERAN, and I also love RACHAEL, the most all-round powerful unit ever across multiple fire emblem games
These are the mercenaries
Laila and Bloom were special to me
And throughout the campaign I did use these two
Danielle was so special to me because every interaction with her was sooo funny. I’m so glad you created a character that made me laugh so damn much
Overall Characters 10/10
Gameplay wise 9/10
I love the fact that this game is very balanced and I always make sure to never lose a unit. With regards to the type of weapons and effective weapons and everything else is just amazing.
Unfortunately like all the other games. I finish them and don’t come back to them again but I really wanted to do New Game+ with this one and I loved it equally as much the second time. So I’m leaving a review here because I won’t come back to this game and to say the biggest THANK YOU TO YOU FOR THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
Overall Game 9.75/10
Let me know if you’ve made another game, I would like to try it out. Thank you again Sokaballa and his Team.
