Was working on a draft for my Fields as an alternate, with the Village tileset’s houses, sand cliffs and sand mountains. Working out more details such as attempting to add small desert tiles and a seizeable mansion (from my fort tileset, which is from Thracia), but that’s taking longer.
At the very least, I can promise you that this next tileset will, while being different from my Fields, will fit in right at home. and let me recreate more Thracia maps
Fields-Village, with Village houses, sand cliffs, and sand peaks + horizontal and vertical doors are in here.
I said it in there that I’m going to take a break. Unlike last time, I genuinely need one. I’ve been exhausting myself too hard recently between balancing extra hours at work, college midterms, helping everyone on FEU and putting up with my friends fighting for the past week, so I’m taking one of these out of my life for a bit. And it should be obvious which is least important.
I’ll check on here every once in a while, but… I need to space myself out for a while. I can’t keep this up.
Take care and don’t overwork yourself!
Take care of yourself. We’ll make sure to surprise you with our mapping expertise when you return.
Quick, let’s make a wall height error contest. Whoever can make the ugliest map with the most height inconsistencies wins!
hi yes it me zora
i do the funny map
So, you know how I’m that one guy who loves wack Tilesets, and lives to recreate things that I’ve got absolutely no reason to remake? Like, how I’m the guy that redid Wyvern’s Dale in GBAFE because someone else thought it’d be funny to have it. Or where I made a fort tileset using a new tool bc I thought it was cool?
Yeah, what if I just decided to fuckin remake every Thracia map in GBAFE?
I mean, sure, it’d be hell to go through, it might take me a wh
TWO WEEKS IS ALL IT TAKES BABY
Wonder how fuckin accurate your boi Zoramine got? To put it simply, I spent about half of my waking hours for the past two weeks exclusively working on this. They’re accurate to a T, with very, VERY few instances of me swapping out tiles because I didn’t have any.
Not convinced?
I’ve spent so long staring at these pixels that I’m finding goddamn palette errors in thracia’s maps. IN THEIR MAPS. H O W .
I’ve only got two people to credit for this-
Wan kept finding the tiny errors that I routinely missed and is the best moral support anyone could ask for, plus they enjoy watching me suffer work.
Wasspix was willing to hear me out for… iunno, the entire project. He liked observing the meme man go to town.
Oh yeah, did I mention yet that these are all f2u f2e?
The only thing you pay is the low low price of your soul as I force you to use MY TILESETS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Right, I should also say. The tilesets used are either my Fields (current version is now up, as I’d updated it to tackle this project), my Fields Village (also in my Fields thread, should be second from the bottom), my Fort, N426’s Castle and my/Flasu/N426’s Updated Stronghold. And the Temple tileset, but you’ll need to edit two tiles to make them doors - it’s obvious which ones are doors but are classified as walls.
ignore the name of the folder, when I’m working I always create odd names
wHEN DID I SAY I WAS DONE
New post cuz I feel like it, suck it. Also because the previous post was WAY too loaded. This one’s kinda full, too.
I’ll quickly explain a bit on why I left, but I won’t go into detail cuz no.
I love helping people, but I get exhausted extremely quickly if I’m not doing things I actually enjoy. I was definitely still happy to help people but right before I left, but I was actually losing my mind a bit. Combine my dying interest with anxiety with the state of the world, friends fighting and pressure from my upcoming (at the time) 1 year report for my job, I just couldn’t handle it.
If I get tired again, I’m going to be much more driven towards taking a dedicated break from FEU to pursue something I actually enjoy. Working on the Thracia maps WAS one of those things that I couldn’t do without dragging myself forcibly away from all of the people asking for help/questions in FEU.
None of the following stuff, in consequence, was asked for. Everything I’d done was purely because I felt it’d be funny to over the past two weeks, or was made for close friends.
Rei, the Leila splice from before, but I changed the model entirely and made her nearly fully unique. She’s now got more of a personality than just a Leila splice, which is good enough for me tbh. As she’s one of the two characters I’ve stuck with over the years - The other being Zoramine - I wanted to make sure she was about as good as I could get. She was also a fun experiment to try 4 tone hairs, as I love what Busk does with his reds.
Oh, right, neither of these are F2U OR F2E. Reference yes, touch absofuckinlutely not.
I got around to working on the Hawkzerker with Bow, based off the Barbarian animation. Someone else said they’d do it, but I have 0 sense of patience. Also comes with 4 palettes.
Zora’s grand return. Welcome back, I hope your break was restful and that you got things done.
A note: The Hawkzerker you’ve posted is missing the Pauldron on its non-dominant arm.
Normal Berserker:
Hawkzerker:
Yours has neither pauldron. For the sake of integrating with the existing Hawkzerker anim folder, would you be willing to add the pauldron? Else I’ll have to put it in a whole separate folder 
Big thanks for both animations. The Flail Knight is actually usable now, which is great. It looks much better!
I’ll look into the pauldron. It really was just ripped straight from the Barbarian out of sheer impatience, but I can get around to it when I’m not tired after working on Thracia maps for two straight weeks.
Which arm do you think would be important to have said pauldron on? Bowzerker doesn’t really HAVE a non dominant one.
The same arm as the Hawkzerker; the one on the left in that gif I posted.
Can do. Ain’t gonna promise any timeframe, but I can see. Might even be tomorrow if I find time.
Alternately, if you made two different versions, with the pauldron on either arm, then the normal Berserker AND the Hawkzerker would both have a bow animation. But that’s entirely up to you. Either way, you’re a swell person 
i exist
You exist
we exist
only if you doubt
i doubt, therefore i think, therefore i am
I’ll upload this when I’m home, found time early in the day.
I added a pauldron to Hawkzerker and corrected the jumpy dodge frame I had.
For fun, I updated the FAQ again, and made a small note about the design of some of my characters, so I felt like fleshing them out more down here would be a good idea. More specifically, the two characters whose splices I’m genuinely proud of, excluding Beruka as she isn’t my character.
Here’s Zoramine Anders Fae, the character with the longest history for me, the only character who has survived countless revisions of a short story that I’ve been writing for nearly five years now, next to her old model. She took far longer than I’m happy to say to get down, particularly a big thanks to Busk once again for the hoodie help.
Zoramine is such an incredibly odd name, that I feel it’s worth it to explain what it all is. Zoramine was not her original name - a simple placeholder which I’ll keep private was used for the beta version of the story, which I sat on for nearly a month. One bus ride home, the name ‘Zoramine’ just popped into my head, couldn’t get it out, so I went with it. It’s not based on the Zora species from Zelda, as I have never even played a Zelda game criminal i know. Anders was a middle name thought of through my aunt, a writer. Fae is everyone’s favorite chicken dragon. Yes, I was a FE6 stan even back in middle school.
She’s got a personality that’s simply… Really good at things that don’t matter to the world at hand. She’s great at fighting with people, running, essentially the perfct body to go fight against anything from Metal Gear, and has incredible attention to detail, except she’s in a country which is relatively at peace and doesn’t require that. She sucks at social conversation, barely has any concept of what many things are (“What’s a cat?”), and can be incredibly oblivious to anything she’s not familiar in. She’s very fun to write about.
For fun, what class would she be in Fire Emblem? Archer, or Myrmidon.
Here’s Rei Sol, who started as a very, VERY basic recolor, which I then refined a bit to match the color palette I like, given a spliced status which turned out poorly, and I eventually just scrapped it for an entirely separate model which I like a lot more. This time, it was entirely done through myself.
The issue with the old model is that I made it for importing into Fire Emblem. Instead of focusing around building the character into who she is, I built her from an existing model to BE a model I could use. Which, after having done Beruka, my first half body and not true splice, Zoramine, the first original character I ever created, and Avi, a brown-haired cutie for a friend, I felt way more confident in making something that wasn’t instantly recognizable to be a splice.
She, similarly, is one of the oldest characters from the short story, although in the draft I sent for the assignment, she didn’t appear. Her name, like Zoramine, started as a generic placeholder and just kind of ''popped" into existence.
She’s got a better defined personality - perpetually annoyed by the universe, with a particular dislike for anything loud, too jokey, and bright. She thrives off being the most dilligent person around, at the cost of both her sanity and her being tired all the time for it. If she knew where the coffee machine was, she’d break it with how much energy she loses after every day.
Don’t mind this slightly different post than my usual stuff; Characterbuilding is easily one of my favorite things to do, and were it more feasible of a career becoming an Author would be one of the most entertaining things for me to do. I doubt I’d be any good at it, though.
