Maiden of Darkness (Named both for its legacy status as a subtitle for FE6 and because it abbreviates to Mod which is what this is) is a remake of FE6 in FE6. Why? Because I hate myself that’s why. Actually, originally the remake was my simple attempts to touch up the game when Super Luigi’s FE6 in FE7 hack was underway, I figured when it was done, there would be no reason to ever play FE6 again, so I’d give it a quick send off.
That didn’t happen.
lets give a short round up of what has been achieved
- 27/44 chapters have been completed to varying degrees of ‘complete’ Some like Chapter 1 simply need their text to be inserted and sent off. Some are just complete like Chapter 2 or 4. And some, like Chapter 3, were complete and are undergoing revisions.
- Almost all personal skills have been completed. And all Skill Icons have been completed and can be seen here.
- All battle animations except Lalum’s Sword Dance have at least a beta in the game.
- Paired Endings, the Base, Event-based supports, Event placed Ballistae, Str/Mag split, skill icons, fixed CSA’s, expanded weapons, displayed growth rates, Escape and others.
- Just working on the promo portraits
Q&A
- Hey are we going to see this from FE7-
Fire Emblem 7 is a great game, and while ignoring that it happened is impossible when re-imagining FE6 at the same time, this is still a hack about FE6. While having the occasional cameo isn’t unlikely, it will only be to further the world and lore of Fire Emblem 6. This is not a continuation of the tale of Eliwood, Hector and Lyn. This is the tale of Roy, Guinevere and Lilina. It’s a tale of clashing ideology between a young man who’s been forced into a role he was unprepared for, and a man who’s been beaten by the horrors of life to the point of seeing nothing redeeming in the form of man.
The answer to your question is almost always going to be ‘No’ from music to characters to events. Unless it supports and benefits the story don’t expect it. Maybe I’ll have some characters previously from FE7 using Strike as their battle song, and playing “Together We Ride” when recruiting them, but don’t expect me to just use music because FE7 had it.
- Release when?
While I actually don’t mind being asked on the status of the project, please understand that a lot of the work being done is by people who are not being paid, at all. I do not ask for donations from people, In turn, I can’t pay anyone who works for me. Some people are still in university, others do commissioned work. I cannot demand they work any more than they do depending on their time.
So in short, Release when it’s done
- Demo?
Considered it, decided that I’d rather not have a tonne of incomplete versions of the game around. In my mind a demo is a slice of completed project to excite the audience, which, by that time, I just want to release MoD. No build up or anything.
-
Is this Fanfiction?
Yeah, basically. All romhacking to any extent is fanfiction, and I fully accept that MoD is my own fanfiction of FE6. In spite of my best efforts to make things feel professional, there is no getting around that this is essentially playable fanfiction. -
How can I support you?
You can’t. I don’t accept donations and there’s no Patreon. If you have talent as an artist, you can offer to lend a hand. But other than that there’s no way to support me. I could open up donations and the like, but it’s murky legal-wise and I don’t feel right taking peoples money for fanfiction. I instead ask that you support the people who help me out. Since without them nothing would be possible.
