Wow, it's been ages since the last time I was here.
The hack is kinda alive, we won't give up on this. But I've been very busy with my internship, my friends are busy too with college, and we are planning to make a new game while we're working on the hack (It still is just a concept, we'll need little help when we take it seriously)
As for updates, most of them are mechanics, some slight graphics updates and some bug fixes.
Here is the list of characters in the next demo:
Blue: Playable
Green: NPC
Purple: Enemies that become NPC or you can't fight (yet)
Red: Enemies
There are 26 chapters made, I'm working on Ch. 27 and some Trial Maps.
Obviously there are more characters in the hack, but must of them are the same from FE7/FE8 or are simple cameos.
Well, most of the lords are sword users, and I don't want to change their clases or their weapons. But I'm going to give a secondary weapon to some when they promote (Ex: Ephraim using bows, Eirika using staves [We thought this months before the revealing of the Bride class on Awakening], etc.) or a little bonus (Ex: Roy, Marth, etc.)
We already fixed that.
That's a reference to FE4, it's the Silver Sword that Alvis gave to Sigurd.
Also, he functions as a kind of Oifey for Lyn's Story.
It's an alternate timeline, it's Lyn's Story, but with some slight changes. Sora is trying to keep the timeline like in the original, but in some point he no longer can handle the drastic changes, resulting in a new separated timeline.
Sora doesn't need an special dialogue. And for Ike, he can't meet with Soren at that time.
Robin and Lucina are in the story. We already have an story for Robin that involves Marth, because he isn't the Robin from FE13.
Ixion is a very valuable bow because of its properties, especially for armoured and mounted enemies.
We're thinking about nerf it to range 2 or other kind of nerf.
And before someone mentions Fates, the whole team agreed on not include a character from it as playable. We don't like Fates that much... but at least we agreed on adding a cameo character, it would be either Leo or Aqua, it even can be other or none.
As for the release of the new demo... I just hope that I can finish it before the year ends, but I'm not good with release dates.
