A/N: What is this?

I found out about and started toying around with LT editor in early 2025 and immediately started a very large and ambitious project with the mindset of “Just get started, you can always learn as you go!”. Unfortunately that line of thinking only gets you lost if you have no idea where you’re supposed to be going. So instead, I made this.

This project was meant for me to get a better understanding of my own strengths, weaknesses, and general workflow after I put my far more ambitious project on perma hiatus. I didn’t take it too seriously at first and thought I could just get extremely funky with the concept (which also stemmed from that original project), since I initially had pretty low expectations.

It is now 4 months after I started what I thought would only take me half a summer (lol), and I emerged out of it wiser and more confident in my abilities, at least on the technical front. Unless its for bug fixes or balance changes, I doubt I’ll come back to this game or even this idea, but I had a lot of fun with it. Next one will be much better, and much less (mechanically) wacky, I promise.

Fixes/Balance Changes

Update 1.1

  • Nathaniel now has access to the convoy
  • The tutorial is forcibly enabled if you have no achievements.
  • Taught Liam how to count (fixed major Ending 1 + 2 bug)
  • The previous garrison has been swapped out for greener troops (reduced enemy quality)
  • The bolting mage has been punished
  • The Lady of the castle now has some choice words
  • Sum miner speling erors corrected
  • Chased off the mimics

  • First Playthrough: Was doing good but ended up messing around too much, didn’t even realize there was a 25 turn limit lmao, got Ending 3.

  • Second Playthrough: Locked in, played much better and got Ending 1.

All in all this is a great single chapter hack. First time playing a Lex Talions hack too.
I’ll see if on another day I attempt the other endings. But again really solid job! Wtg Jake.

Premise is simple, enter, loot, leave. does not much new in term of combat or story.

But otherwise a cool short game, the kind you would find in a contest (afaik this was not part of any)

Needs more mimics 0/10

A lex tallionis game is a standalone exe file, it is not a romhack and cannot be patched to a gba fe game. You simply download the game and run it on your pc. You can run it on mobile too, but it requires a fair few amount of steps. Lex Talionis on Android (It's Time)

Game got a patch, should fix most if not all of the major issues on release
