New Update dropped. This time it’s around two new chapters and a bunch of polishing here and there. Small but with a lot of text.
The other changes involve new fancy spritework and a new Skill for Morten that boosts his movement when he is close to Ètoile.
As usual you can find the new patch on our Discord.
See you there.
We wish you a great time in the future o/
(Due to technical issues I have to use photos again… Karma is a twisted joke.)
Congrats for the update ! 
Hello everyone!
The Schedule for this years FEE3 is out and Parallel Emblem will be showcased during the 5th day. Which should be October 20th around 12PM EST.
Tune in for a spooky presentation featuring old mans, wolf boys and monsters!
Played by the one and only Epholo8 and directed by our two most favorite code-searching-machine-guardian-co-hosts once more.
I also have news about the next update.
Our current goal is to finish Part 1 of the game during this year. That means Parallel Emblem will be divided into different story arcs similar to Radiant Dawn. And in the next update the first of these arcs will be completed, counting 19 chapters. You could count the prolouge itself as Part 0. The full game will be divided into 3 Parts in total.
This process will take ~2 more chapters, one of whichs map is already done. And the second one will have a bigger focus on story rather than gameplay. It is doable and I really want to publish this by the end of the year but I don’t want to settle on an exact date because time always showed how the tables can turn. There are going to be some adjustments in previous chapters of the game as well. But our focus right now is to go forward rather than falling down the spiral of eternal polishing. Expect new animations, classes and travelers and maybe you will be able to find a new alternate ending I’ve hidden in an earlier chapter. 
Anyway I hope you all look forward to the best time of the year for FE Hackers and that your week is going to be awesome. o7
Epholo will be streaming Parallel Emblem tonight around 8pm EST!
Sadly not the best time for us to watch (it will be like 2am around here T-T). So we will prolly not be present in chat. But if you have time and interest into diving in the beginning of Parallel Emblem make sure to tune in and send him some #Baumkuchen from us! 
Either way I wish everyone reading this a great Weekend. The best time of the year for FE fangame creators will begin tomorrow, don’t forget that. 
Will the game have supports?
Yes they’re planned. They still work like in GBA atm but I’d like to change them the way FE9 did. Except some special cases if its possible.
Some are already written and implemented. Gears Supports for example are complete for no particular reason. I decided to focus on the Main story first. So most are placeholders atm I don’t know if the cast is fully completed yet and if I might find unexpected chemistry between 2 characters. 75% of the pairs you can see via support option are save though.
Just finished the demon, I really loved a lot about the game. I love the full fan fic energy getting characters from tons of games and with some really unique mechanics that are super exciting. I loved being able to do summons, I loved 3 range magic and the merchant class and a lot more.
I think the game could use an easier mode because the like fun fan ficy vibe does get blocked off by some of the harder maps. Like the final map of the demo felt like I was really just playing the RNG game trying my best to not let the boss just utterly wipe the floor with me thanks to his heals.
Character wise for the original characters I think Etoile is a major stand out lord, I think Gear is cute, I like Ferrum, I love Helga and I found the Isaki characters funny. I think there is a lot of good goofs throughout the game which helps even out the harder drama moments.
I was going through the supports that are already written and I am wondering why you decided to make Heather Bisexual when she is a lesbian in the games? It’s like super mega confirmed that she is only into women. This is my biggest problem, I downloaded the game because Heather is one of my favorite characters in the whole series so I Wanted to like max her out as much as possible and come in with an ultimate heather but that was a major disappointment, I’d love to see that changed since that support isn’t even normally accessible right now.
Overall, it was a really good experience that I think could use some tweaks to but that I want to see hit it’s end.
Sara thanks for playing Parallel Emblem!
If you have discord feel free to join our server and tell us where exactly you had problems playing. We are balancing the game as good as we can, but so far we still lack a bit feedback in that regard, to get a feel to different playstyles. Of course you can go into detail here if thats easier for you. We plan to add an easy and hard mode tho so everyone on any level can enjoy the game.
Supports are a thing that gets worked on at the side lines. Some were developped pretty early on. Regarding Heather we can talk in dms, id like to hear your thoughts about that in detail and would explain some things even if they are not completly finished or will maybe even get cut.
I would be happy to talk in DMs about Heather stuff.
Right now I am in so many discord servers it’s a little overwhelming but might join just to give feedback in a better space and I can always hop out after a bit.
Ultimately, I was able to beat it, so I think like standard easy mode additions will probably be enough for a more casual playthrough. Slightly smaller numbers, less reinforcements probably cover a lot of it but I do think the games balanced overall, pretty well for the feeling of constantly being on the backfoot.
The only time it felt properly unfair was the very last chapter of the demo’s boss he just did a little too much damage for a self healing enemy especially when Ally units are running to him to feed him HP.
Hello everyone, I hope you had an amazing time during FEE3. We sure had! It was heart warming to read these kind words and feedback.
If you missed the presentation, click here to watch it.
A lot of stuff has happened over the last month. Both irl and with Parallel Emblem. Epholo streamed it. I read lots of positive comments about it. And we gained feedback especially for the beginning of the game. That’s one part where I’d like to take a deeper look at but I’m unsure if I want to do that first or continue with future chapters after the next update.
Speaking of it, I have some unfortunate news. Actually, its not that dramatic. But as I mentioned earlier I didn’t want to make promises about the release of that demo. But as sure as I was that it is doable by the end of the year so sure I am that it could get more crunchy as I expected. There is… a lot more stuff coming at me nearing christmas than I expected. While I do want to use that time to continue developing Parallel Emblem I also got to study for upcoming exams. Both before and after 2023 started. It’s kinda sad since we are pretty close to wrap this stuff up but with everything going on I’m not as often in the mood or position to do the writing part that’s going to be important now. I’d also like to take a last look over a new chapter that’s going to be added and that’s already done but I’m unsure if it feels too easy or not. I wanted to send in some of these in the discord to playtest as well but I’m always unsure if there isn’t just a thing that could be adjusted before or if the player is able to fully get in the situation with one chapter alone. And if one thing gets adressed that we did on purpose and I mention that it would look and feel like I shove the time invested to tell me that aside.
In short, its going to take a bit longer before we’ll drop this. But on the other hand you’re most likely going to see some new juicy stuff from Retrogamers spriting department. Posting this makes me feel a bit more relaxed in this regard. Maybe it will even trigger this stupid reflex of mine to do the exact thing what I said I won’t do just a second ago. But sure is that if I couldn’t work on something I love for a while due to blocks or other stuff once I return I put in full energy.
I think clarifiyng this delay now rather than next month is better.
That being said I hope you’re excited for the future, that you’re having a wonderful start in winter, get quickly adjusted to the new time frame if you’re from Europe, getting the presents you need for your loved ones (if not, be there for them, that is the whole purpose of christmas after all) and that you are having a great week. 
Apparently the new mother of Fire Emblem Engage, a game with french, isekai elements and a protagonist with two hair colours is called Lumiere and dies.
I have the power of the monado.
It can’t be a coincidence? Or is it?
You see - The truth about Parallel Emblem is that Retrogamer and I more or less stole lots of assets after trying to become game developers. At one point we worked as trainees at Intelligent Systems. Seeing how the wonderful ideas of the story writers got ripped apart by the marketing team to create yet another fates, one of the authors gave us the script, sketches and begged us to do something more classical with it. So the development of a Romhack began. Eventually we got caught and had to flee within the matrix by using a glitch on a friday the 13th. Coincidentally a meteorite flew by the earth that day. This glitch brought us into an alternate reality where we managed to switch bodies with Maeda. Our love for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE got mixed in when we changed the future during the discussion of the next Fire Emblem scenario. This is the reason why so many characters in this game look the way they are. Spoiler, but they might even add a disney musical sequence. In order to keep the usual style of modern FE stories we might’ve overdone it in terms of colorfulness and predictable storylines. But ultimately we thought it was a nessecary sacrifice to put all efforts towards the gameplay. We will see if this plan suceeded next january…
Afterwards we returned to our reality. I think. Strange things are happening like the meteorite I mentioned was not present despite it still being the same friday 13th. But who cares, we might get a new classic Fire Emblem thanks to that. But hey. I haven’t used up all the secret plans the author entrusted us with. I mean, why else do you think they don’t develop Advance Wars but a character from that game is present here?
…Okay, jokes aside I’d actually laugh if the main antagonists of Engage would try to collect souls of people to revive their dark god and so on. They don’t have something that resembles the Xeno yet.
Edit: Her name was changed to Lumerra now. We changed the future.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Both from us developers and the Ragnarök Clan, the coldest place in Satera.
I was thinking about making a poll next time for which characters I should draw in the future but figured since my time is running out I simple draw Helga instead because I really wanted to have a picture for you when doing this post. And Santa Klaus of course. Who else do you think is that old men supposed to be?
I dunno if the game is actually popular enough to run something like this already but we will see… I’ll just try it out in the future. 
Anyway, is it really that time of the year again? This year flew by so fast, it is unbelieveable. At least for me. Maybe it also is because I was ill for most of the month and before that I got Corona. My sense of time is dry. Or maybe I used too much from the power of the monado in our efforts to save FE Engage?
I actually have a hard time to remember what progress we actually made on the project. 
While writing this I even forgot when and if we put out a new Demo this year, lmao. Not to mention what was new there.
There definitely was progress. I think we produced around 4 new chapters rn and a last one is in the making though as mentioned it is going to be more story focused - and I gotta get back into the writing mood to completely finish it BUT! There are also new surprises and we also included some small rewards for finding certain secrets that have yet to be discovered as well as for talk events. No need to restart over for this, your save file should be… save. Retro was also very productive this year. I can’t express enough how much life his work gives the project. Not wanna tell too much but two classes will get a new look. Also this was the first time someone actually streamed the game and played infront of an audience outside FEE3. That was exciting and helpful.
We wish we could’ve surprised you with a new demo but it doesn’t feel complete yet and I already wrote about this earlier. We will take this opportunity to polish some of the earlier parts and add even more than planned, sounds like a deal right? 
We wanna thank everyone who continued to support us with kind words and who showed interest over the year and hope you all have a wonderful time on christmas! 
Happy New Year, Folks!
As I mentioned before I wanted to try out a little popularity poll. Just vote for your current fav of the playable cast so far. (Although some more are technically known due to my oopsie with the Supportroom.) I’ll probably draw everyone at some point but those higher up have a higher chance to be featured next time - when I’m here with updates about the game.

Also I hope you all have fun with one of Lysolleys parallel universes featured in the upcoming Fire Emblem Engage this week!
A new demo arrives, just in time before the new FEE3!
As usual it can be obtained via our Discord. Save Files should be compatible!
Changelog
*The Demo contains 4 new chapters and marks the end of Part 1.
*7743s Fast Forward Patch has been installed. (Hold the A-Button to skip Battle Animations or speed them up.)
*Minor Chapter edits have been made
*We’ve rewritten earlier chapters, including Grammar Fixes and Cringe Reduction.
Also:
Parallel Emblem will be a part of this years FEE3! And it is by far our biggest video yet. I had lots of fun editing this one and hope to give you a good time.
I think I’m going to move the poll at the very first post so that it can’t be missed so easily. Gotta update it anyway. I hope it can be edited without losing the votes… It would be very interesting to see the evolution of these the longer its going.
Have a great weekend! 
It’s such a shame y’all haven’t fixed the Heather supports, the updates look really exciting and I loved the trailer. I am really impressed with everything y’all are bringing to the table but Fire Emblems only 100% canon lesbian being unlesbianed is just not acceptable to me, she’s the reason I downloaded in the first place.
I hope y’all decide to change the supports for her in the future and understand that it’s not okay to make a lesbian into men because it feels right to you. I also just don’t like the narrative around her dad since like specially the creators said she didn’t have dad trauma I am pretty sure, she is defined by her relationship instead to a woman, her mother who she loves and is sickly.
It’s a weird point to be hung up on but she was my favorite Fire Emblem character until Three Houses and how she is handled really matters to me. Good luck with the game, hope y’all have fun developing it but for me, it’s gotta be a pass.
Note this is not in the Build Files this is in the extra menu for supports which I look at for every rom hack I play.
Don’t forget to watch our FEE3 presentation in case you missed it 
I thank everyone who watched so far for their kind words over there and on the Schedule Thread.
We start out with a trailer and take a more detailled look on the game. However due to technical issues our hosts gotta go offscript a little bit. We hope you have fun during watching 🩶
Hello hello
Just a short info that we released a Hotfix of the current patch on our discord. Apparently Helga couldn’t promote. Now she can. Thats it xD
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Another year has passed, once more the Team of Parallel Emblem wishes all of you a merry christmas. And once more I use this opportunity to reflect on the year.
Time flies fast. A lot has happened this year and the progress was bigger than it feels to me, honestly. Fee and Heather finally got official artwork again!
Okay, now to be serious: Part 1 is finally finished and our heroes are about to move into dangerous territory. Many things I was excited about are coming together soon. Though once more I don’t wanna promise anything. My final exams are starting this year so my focus 2024 will shift more towards reality. I’m sure I will find free time to put into the project, but I will not set the FEE3 this year as a goal for a new patch or even making a video entirely. Making the FEE3 Video this year was one of the most fun I ever had in my life but it also took a while to put together. Time that I mostly had free one month before the deadline which is when all I needed to piece it together was finally there. Plus it was my first time doing it. I really wanna do something big again once the game is finished and even if we end up taking a break for the event, afterwards there will be more to be shown.
Speaking of more, my biggest wish is to finish more than a total of 4 chapters for the next patch. So far the progress resolved around the strategy slow and steady, finishing one chapter per chapter. I tried branching that out a little bit but I became unhappy with that and combined with less freetime and the chapters being bigger I lost the “1 month = 1 finished chapter” goal that I set in my mind. Not meaning that I wanted to have a total of 12 chaps to be done at the end of each year, but as a time how long it should max take me to finish one. Though, I lost track of this. After we released the patch in November 1 more chapter was finished and another one is almost finished (counting gameplay, story dialouge, extra events etc.) Which would rise up the total progress this year to 6 chapters. Not bad for a 2-man Crew I’d say. And the experimental approach I take when designing a chapter, I really like. When its about setting up enemies and playtesting this over and over, its not a matter of “if”, its a matter of “when.” I also became more invested into Map design. For some reason though I realized I hit more and more “writer’s-blocks” which especially slowed me down for the Part 1 Finale which is almost completely Story-only. A shame for me, because this was the part I was once looking forward to the most when we started the whole thing. But probably a consequence of not settling on enough from the get go. In order to stop this from happening, I will focus on story writing specifically, so that in best case scenario all that is done and “just” the text from events, as well as piecing together the gameplay aspects and cutscenes are left to do.
The total progress is the following: Gameplaywise 21/37 Story chapters are finished. There is one more gaiden that will be considered important for the Main Story, so that is within the focus. And we have some more Gaidens in mind for the future. So the goal is to finish these, afterwards the Gaidens, then the final polishing will be set in motion. Including implementing feedback from players.
About the character poll: It was too soon as I expected, and probably a dumb idea to put it into a random post within the thread. Soon nobody will see that one anymore, so if I should do that again, I will prolly do it on the discord with some help of google. Therefore I remove that poll after this post. But I will not forget the vote Ferrum hast gotten.
Speaking of the discord, there will be changes. So far this has been the place where we distributed the patches for the game. We will shift that to another plattform soon. The discord will still be available to join but from that point onwards, only serve to give you updates about the project, new patch releases and other relevant stuff.
We thank everyone for your support and kind words this year. We thank everyone who continued to deliver amazing Free2Use assets for the Hacking Community. We thank everyone for requesting bugs and problems with the current patch. We thank everyone for playing the game.
Have a wonderful time on christmas and a happy, zappy new year!
