Cant wait to try this! FE11 is the remake of the 1st game. How does this one have similarities to it?

Well, a large, Iron Man friendly cast, enemies that’ll hit hard, Manaketes, a rather simplistic story (at least for part 1), a few archtypes from the first game, and characters with generally lower defense.

I’m currently balancing chapter 2 right now. The first demo will have a planned 9 chapters.

Well, the wait is over. FE Steel Will’s beta demo drops today, containing 9 chapters of content! This is a beta demo though, so it hasn’t been playtested by anyone but myself.

Download link is at the top of the thread. Along with new screenshots, and a recruitment guide. A secrets guide will be created for the next update as well.

Player and enemy units don’t fully have their palettes yet, those will be in the next update, but the gameplay is ready for beta playtesting. If you discover any bugs or glitches, please let my know and I’ll squish 'em! I would gladly accept feedback for the project in all departments.

And yes, the TLP Mini mugs will be resolved. Eventually.

See you next update.

Hello! Minor update to Steel Will, adding the character palettes for Part 1 for both player and enemy characters.

Development on Steel Will has slowed down a bit since I’ve been working on my entry for Celica for the past month, so development of the hack will commence around April 12th to 14th or so after the deadline.

That’s all from me. Patch is at the top of the Thread. Till next time!
