Fire Emblem: Midnight Sun was the first full-custom FE8 ROM hack, released in 2014. It was really popular back in the day, being downloaded more than 90,000 times, but in 2017 it was cancelled for personal reasons.
I never abandoned that dream though, and in 2019 I announced “Path of the Midnight Sun”, a full-fledged indie game which is a spiritual successor to the FE hack.
After 3 years (and over 10,000 hours) of development, Midnight Sun is ready to be released in Q3 2022!

What a pleasant surprise with that sweet, surprising twist! It’s absolutely valid that sometimes, projects don’t go as planned and one has to scrap them to build 'em again.

I’m sure you’ll do great!!
This seems amazing! I’m excited to learn more about this new version of Midnight Sun once it comes out. The original still is to this day an incredible hack, and I’m sure you can do even more creative and interesting stuff now that you’re not working in GBAFE or Magvel. FEXNA when
