So another year is upon us. Another year to check out new WIPs, try out [COMPLETE] hacks and interact with this wild and wacky sphere of the internet that is the Fire Emblem fan-game milieu. (Play Milieu by Cadbury) We all have our goals and plans for the new year, and we often forget about them after two weeks or give up on them because we set our goals much too high.
So here’s a thread where you can set your resolutions here and reflect on them at the end of the year. They don’t need to be wild, they don’t need to be significant, heck they don’t need to relate to hackromming!
My Ru-solutions for 2026
Finish my first ever custom animation by the end of the year.
Create at least five more chapters of Liberty’s Beacon by FEE3 2025. (Going from 11 Chapters to 16)
Participate in the 2026 equivalent of CELICA, whatever that may be.
Beat at least six full length romhacks (One every two months) by the end of the year.
Help more people out without asking for payment, because helping people can be its own reward.
(Unrelated to romhacking:purchase a new vehicle because bus transit sucks)
Finish the 2nd & hopefully my final draft of Apsides’ story (which includes placement & finalizing of things like mechanics, general gameplay, characters, dungeons, etc).
Play some more romhacks
Interact more on here. Like this!
General resolutions:
Take more walks around the area
More art improvement
And surely more general stuff that’s not on the top of my head. Like cooking more.
My resolutions would be to finish the demo of the project I’m working on. In 2025, I didn’t have much time to work on the project, and hopefully move towards the full game (and learn to draw portraits).
My biggest resolution is to get Cycle of Remorse to [COMPLETE] status
Some smaller ones include participating in 2026’s single-chapter contest if there is one and possibly getting another smaller project going once CoR is done
My main FEU resolutions would be keep on making more FE GBA portraits, and eventually make a battle animation, whether it’s a repal, a more edited one that still uses pre-existing anims as a base, or even a custom one. And also see if I’m able to make a FE romhack, whether it’s a simple re-edit (FE8 except it features random characters/my favorite characters, the entire game is filled with good/OP units from the entire franchise), a PME or one with an original story, which may be probably be a short hack so as to not overexceed my ambitions. I also look at making sort of an FE portrait art tutorial later on.
My other, general resolutions would be improving my art skills, my coding/modding skills, make a real jump at doing a story/fanfic, try to make more exercise, and still helping anyone that wants (or even needs) help. Oh, and also get a job.
Who knows. I’ll know when I get there. Happy new year everyone!
If I do not finish Fire Emblem: Day of Reckoning, I am going to get the rope and start skipping it to build fitness to finish it in 2027 instead, which is significantly more likely.
[Complete] Host of the Dark for the third time and DON’T do it a fourth time bc surely the third time around it’ll stand up to my standards
Fr though I’m happy to keep working on Host bc it’s a story that I genuinely do believe in, but it’ll also be nice to try out some new gameplay systems down the road in future projects.
