Hi there, the name’s Twilite. I have been working on ROM hack of FE8 since last February. Which I have given the Name “Keris of Light” or KOL for short(Keris is pronounced Care-iss like Ferris). This Rom has a lot in common FE6 but I also took some note from that game and combined it with some of the aspects of FE7 and 8. My audience will thus be like challenging games, prioritizing player phase, like low growth units and be okay with many aspect that make FE6 what it is. Age wise I gave it thirteen and up while there is nothing graphic, I was planning of adding some dark plot elements as well as characters swearing at times(nothing crazy). But nothing graphic to speak of. This game still has it’s own identity. But some characteristic of this rom will be tough enemies on hard mode, low growth rates on most units(250-270% growth rate totals in most cases), and nerfed javelins and hand axes. Most units will not be capable of reliably one-round enemies excluding top tier units like Andrew. The general power level of most units will be on the weaker side. Design-wise, you willl also get some replacement units that are usually not as powerful as units who join earlier but are usable. I decided to also make accuracy somewhat of a priority but not as badly as it was in FE6. Iron weapons for example will keep their hit rates from FE8. I have finished up most of the unit design for characters in the first five chapters. I have structured the chapters from the prologue all the way to chapter for. You can feel free to give me any feedback on the ROM. The main thing I wanna focus on with this release is the release is level design and maybe some other bugs/glitches/errors. Note; none of the story aspects have been changed yet. No palettes have been added (aside from Peggy’s ) and no death quotes have been altered (other than Mina’s). Feel free to contact me about anything you wanna discuss feedback or if you would like to help me out.
welcome boss – guessing you can’t post the patch yet or any screenshots since your account is new. Good luck and congrats on nearing release.
I am trying to figure that out now.
yeah you need to post a few more times to get the requisite permissions
I shall eagerly watch and wait for my time to be able to play!
I guess this is an introduction post? The other one certainly isn’t.
Iron weapons will remain largely unchanged. This is to give characters some sort of accurate option at all times. Shaky hit rates aren’t as common as their in FE6 especially early on when your weapon choices are limited to mostly iron weapons. Most swords and bows will remain unchanged other than the killing edge. In fact, all killer weapons will have their FE6 stats. Lances and Axes have been generally lowered in terms of accuracy. Short bows will have 1-2 range and have 60 hit and 4 might they are much lighter than hand axes and javelins but they still suck only use them when necessary. Physical 1-2 range in this game generally sucks this is to make other weapon types and classes stand out more. I decided remove both eclipse and bolting to give light magic more of a niece. I also added a 1-3 range light tome too and brave light tome simply known as the “Brave Light”. I also added some tomes from older games such as Aircalibur from FE6 and Jormungand from Thracia 776. Aircalibur works like it does in FE6 with slighty different stats. Jormungand can poison enemies like it does in Thracia as an enemy.
There is also a joke weapon exclusive to enemies known as the Thief’s Sword it has awful stats and only used by enemy thieves.
If you would like to share any feedback feel free.
Do not make individual threads for each individual facet of your hack. Keep everything to one thread.
Sorry I will learn from my mistakes. I meant to make this an introduction.
Well since its an introduction thread.
Welcome TwiliteWitch hope you enjoy your time here.
Poor mods are tired of merging threads lol.
Twilite did you not make a dedicated thread for your rom hack. I sugest you do that. once you get access to links and screenshots then edit that threads post you made and add the features in that post, you can comment on the post for more but its neat when edited everything about the hack is in the orginal and dedicated post . Dont trouble the mods further they have a lot in their hands already.
I’m sorry but I have learned my mistake I will try my best to avoid doing that again moving forward. I will comment all the Details about KOL.
We all have been there at one point its fine cheers to your work in progress hack.
Just remember to change the topic of the post from Community/Introductions to Projects, once you have permissions to link to your patch, otherwise the thread might be locked after a bit of inactivity lol
I’m a big fan of enemies not being able to be one rounded, as I would assume most people are, so I’m stoked to see how your hack plays.
I currently and still don’t know how to get permission yet.
Otherwise yeah, I like the current state of my hack and would love to get permission to post it as soon as possible.
I am still brainstorming what to do in the long run.
First start with a new topic just dedicated to your hack leave this be as intro topic .(dont forget to give it correct tag like which rom you use as base
To get member explore other topics there are many and may be give your thoughts on it. I remember when it was my first time i got it instantly so i cant really give you sure shot way. But when i was first here i just read 2 topic and followed it along for a day or two and got member. After i got member i read like 1.2k comments from different threads should have been before member 
lol
