The Pink Fountain [3.5/40 chapters] available

Hello! I’m Harleen AKA Leenneri, a plastic artist diving into the world of romhack making after YEARS of only playing them.

Discord server:

This is my Fire Emblem project:

The Pink Fountain

Download patch: (Do not finish chapter 4 as there is no way to access chapter 5 yet)

Follow Thealys; a naive village girl and sister of faith that thinks the world is becoming more dangerous because of a lack of people praying to the goddess of the land. Later on her journey she encounters a dancer who wakes up in the middle of an abandoned building, with vague memories of his past but no idea what to do with them. They then work and travel together to find out why the world has become such a dangerous and dark place.

Portraits of other characters:

(I love them all)

It is still very early in development, i’ve made 4 complete maps (There is still a lot of events that need to be placed for them to be fully finished as chapters)
I’ve made the characters up until chapter 10.

I promise I’ll work on this as fast as I can while also delivering something I can be proud of and you’ll enjoy to play and experience.

I wanted to make the project public and share a little about the story and characters.

Hack details and features
  • Aproximately 40/50 characters
  • A serious story with aproximately 40 chapters
  • Expect a LOT of pink (pink protagonist, map sprites and other things I can paint pink into)
Character information/Recruitment guide

Recruitment Guide/General Character Information

Canon paired endings

I will update this once I introduce the characters
(I have to make a public patch first)

Also you cannot miss Potto, The Chicat:

Thank you all of the people that are helping this come true with the references and animations from the repo, i’ll keep updating the credits section as I keep on working on this project. (If I forgot someone PLEASE let me know and i’ll include them as soon as I can)

Looks promising, though shouldn’t it be “Priestess”, not “Pristess”?

Interesting and might not relate to the hack but what is a plastic artist?

Oopsie, thanks haha

It’s an artist that works with physical media, like paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, etc, we actually also get some introduction into digital art but the focus is physical

I updated this with a link to download the first public patch!
It’s still VERY rough and need a lot of fixes, I’ve made only up to chapter 4, but I promise I’ll work on this as fast as I can, the first 4 chapters are fast and kinda short, but that’s the vibe I wanted for them, after chapter 5 the chapters will be more story driven and long due to the Base Camp patch and the conversations and events that will be implemented. I also updated the Discord server link if you want to ask some things or just talk. Thanks!

So… A lot of time has passed but I’m still working on this! I was just very busy with university and other stuff, but don´t worry(? I’m working hard again and I plan on finishing this project, I’m always very happy when working on this so I don´t plan on stopping, I already made a new map and a couple of playeable characters and bosses

Hey Leenneri, hope you made it well into the new year.
I could only play until chapter 2, it seems you were missing a defeat boss Flag
since killing the boss does not end the chapter.
I also would give them bosses some ranged weapons to make it more challenging.
Your OCs look great, especially the goth summoner.
Good Luck with the Project!

Ah alright, did you access the 4rd chapter though?
At the end of chapter 3 it just returns me to the start of the same chapter.

Oh! thank you for the heads up, I’ll fix it as soon as I can, I might have screwed something up with the chapter flags, I’ll let you know as soon as I can, also, thank you for the kind words on my Oc’s, it really means a lot to me as an artist, also, this is thanks to all the people that have contributed to the repo, they have some great F2U bases that have helped a lot.

in particular after chapter 3 we get to the sacred stone world map and the regular standard dialoge appears there and you get send to chapter 3 again.
I also have to say the designs sure are nice and different from other hacks.
Will the pink fountain be a thing that is relevant to the story?

Actually, yes!, the color pink in general is very relevant to the story and the pink fountain is an important place in this world.
I have a some free time this week so I’ll try to hurry up and fix the Rom to upload a fixed version.

So… I know I haven’t shared a fixed version of the Rom, but I’ve been making new character portraits this entire time because I figured I can´t really continue making new chapters unless I have the majority of characters done and I kinda got a portrait fixation this entire week and finished 6 portraits for some characters (making that a total of 27 characters at the moment) AND also polished some old ones (I plan on continuing this since I’ve noticed a lot of mistakes on the first few I made) I’m gonna share the last character I made :

This is Avra (You can already guess what her passive will be with the portrait alone) I got the base portrait from the repo (made by Garytop)

Btw If you want to see all the other portraits I haven’t shared here you can always ask on discord, I know the server is pretty dead right now so I’m just looking for an excuse to send something there.

In Chapter 3, if I go to inn, I can’t talk to Shirotomei, and if I talk to him, I can’t go to the inn.
As for red houses, I could visit both fine. (although I’m on easy mode)

I just uploaded a new patch to fix the issues mentioned and updated the discord link, The chapter 4 map is done but please do not finish it as there is no way to access the 5th chapter and the game gets bugged if you do try to finish it, I would recommend finishing chapter 3 and leaving it until I make a new patch that adds new chapters (it shouldn’t take that long) If you find any new bug or error please let me know, thanks! Also, let me know if I’m doing things right or wrong (I think chapter 3 is a little too hard but I would really appreciate the feedback, also… I just noticed that if you visit the yellow house on chapter 3 the soldier mentions that the boss is weak to magic… while having 8 resistance and 3 defense… I’ll fix that next patch… oops :pink_heart:

Nice! I forgot to mention but the game hangs if Solriba uses hand axe.
If I let Chapter 4 roll out, it hangs too, but if I skip the intro, then it does begin.
