Thank you 🙂 If your curious, here's the release: https://feuniverse.us/t/fe6-self-randomizing-rom-complete/24920

Hello @gringe, I was wondering if I could use your translation for the FE6 Self Randomizing Rom that I'm working on. I released the FE7 one a couple weeks ago: https://feuniverse.us/t/fe7-self-randomizing-rom-complete/24719 You don't need to do anything further, I would just like to have your permission. Thank you.

Skills will never stack this way in fe8u skill systems. You either have the skill or you don't. Sorry.

This looks interesting

I don't mean to hijack this thread any further, but yes you can follow the progress of pokemblem with the above link or by joining the discord. Personally I want the gameplay to feel like fire emblem, but with a sparse, comical story. If you'd like to provide suggestions or feedback for my hack specifically, you can find me with the aforementioned links. I am always open to ideas. :)

Naturally unbiased. Glad you've been enjoying them. I look forward to your MAFC entry, then! Edit: 1h Blitz round one has wrapped up. Mafc5 is happening now, and eventually I hope for 1hB round two. Majority of the activity has happened over on feuniverse, so I've been only posting occasionally to this thread.

@AnonymousSpeed Here's your entry, which is the final one for round 1 of 1h Blitz. The writing in this is solid! How much cheating went on, I wonder.. On the other hand, the gameplay lacked polish, true to 1h blitz, so you can't have cheated *that* much (on the combat, at least). I did have fun with it, but I would definitely suggest that you try a much smaller map next time! In a couple days I'll post the poll(s) to the thread over on feuniverse so we can vote on our favourite. If you missed any and want to skim over any of the videos, here's the full playlist. Thanks for the entries, everyone!

Make A Fun Chapter ~~ V ~~ With the success of 15 entries for 1H Blitz, I’ve decided to take up this contest for now as well. I hope to alternate between the two every few months. History We can learn from what has worked well and build on this to create an awesome, positive contest. General Deadlines: January & July : MAFC April & October : 1H Blitz (Yes, 1H Blitz is awaiting further videos & a final poll, but MAFC takes longer to prepare! Deadlines may vary to avoid conflicts with FEE3.) Guidelines: Rule of Thirties Playable in 30 minutes or less I have a short attention span I may be slower than you! As the creator, you should be able to beat it in 20 minutes. 30 or fewer enemies I need 1 minute to kill each enemy This includes reinforcements! Max 30 lines of consecutive dialogue Split up dialogue with map cutscenes Highlighted 30 lines. Map size smaller than 30x30 No Vanilla fe7 / fe8 map exceeds 31 in a dimension. I generally prefer smaller maps. If it’s 30x30 I might still complain as I play it. Finally, Make it fun If you give me troll gameplay, I will probably just stop playing early. If you ignore these guidelines, I may not play your submission. Original Content? Nope! You can use a chapter from your hack. HOWEVER, it must make sense on its own. I won’t be reading up on your project, so we will have no context of your hack. If too many entries don’t seem to make sense as standalone chapters, I may stop accepting these. It should be a fairly chapter, or remade for this contest No chapters that I’ve previously made a video on (eg. “Preview a Hack”) No chapters that were previously submitted for a contest, please Is this Engine okay? I do prefer fe8, but I want to be inclusive. FE6, FE7, or FE8 (but really you should use FE8 - no reskins!) Lex Talionis SRPG Studio Other - probably (but ask me first) (If you aren’t using FEGBA as a base, please share instructions on how to load up your game.) Suggestions Clickbait, pls! We want these to be seen Include a gimmick to your gameplay and help me surpass 19 subs plz. Document your chapter! Share your experience of creating your entry Post screenshots/gifs of your chapter Describe the plot / gameplay Post the .UPS here I’m not inclined to play submissions that I know nothing about. Resources to use FE Map Creator (it can generate maps for you) Ultimate Graphics Repo Music (repo) Credits If you use someone’s to use asset, you must write their name in your credits. Rewards We can vote on our favourites People might like your post I hope to play and upload them to youtube Categories Most-liked reply Top-voted as favourite Fastest any% (and probably crappiest hack) The real reward was the friends chapter you made along the way. In summary: You make a short chapter, and I play it. Deadline: January 15th, 2021.

Amazing. Sounds like you had a good time. I am looking forward to trying this one out. All in all there were 15 submissions. That's quite a few! I'd like to continue playing and recording them at some point. I think round 2 will start on Jan 1st.

Still 2 more weeks for round 1. There's around 12 submissions so far, but they were all submitted on FEU.

Here's my Let's Play of Mr. Green3339's submission. More videos to come. There are already 8 submissions!

One Hour Blitz - Round 1 Sister Thread on FEUniverse There are currently 8 submissions! (After 3 days.) Rules Start with vanilla fe8 Create a chapter You have 1 hour Use community to use assets (eg. graphics, music, asm hacks, etc. ) This means you can cheat! If you make and share an asset, it is fair game (eg. a portrait you shared on the repo thread) Honour System We won’t know if you spend over an hour, cheater You could remake a previously completed chapter if you want to be a lame-o If someone’s chapter is better than yours, they probably cheated anyway Suggestions map, characters, and dialogue Draft your chapter by 30 minutes Playtest it by 50 minutes and fast-forward Assets FE Map Creator (to generate a map for you) Maps (repo) Portraits (repo) Music (repo) You can pick out assets beforehand if you want to cheat but just a little bit Example video I made a crappy chapter in 14 mins with FE Builder. Therefore you can make something similarly dreadful in an hour.

You could touch it up and re-use it as a chapter in your own hack, for example. Quick drafts are rough, but makes for a great starting place. Deadline ONE HOUR FROM READING THIS Sorry, not really. Oct. 31st, 2020 It’s 1 hour of your time, so don’t procrastinate plz. Ready? ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET Pick one tl;dr 1 hour hack. Vesly discovers emoji

Yeah, idea was to try and make it ignore half of defense. Since I never figured that out I just gave it effective damage against enemies with high def. I think I learned a lot from this project and I hope to make better use of the ideas in my newer project, Pokemblem. It was a very tough decision to put this one on indefinite hiatus, but ultimately so many mechanics I wanted to use relate to pokemon, so it made sense to jump ship. Thank you to anyone who took an interest in my work.

For anyone trying to use FEBuilder and having issues, I would suggest going onto feuniverse. The maker, 7743, usually responds to any questions on the thread or in feunuverse's discord #febuilder_help each day, and there are many other people willing to help too. The thread link follows: https://feuniverse.us/t/fe-builder-gba-if-you-have-any-questions-attach-report7z/2845 If you are looking only for the download, click below: https://github.com/FEBuilderGBA/FEBuilderGBA_Installer/releases/download/ver_20200130.17.1/FEBuilderGBA_Downloader.exe I'll ask Kirb to see if he can update the original post a little bit.

So disable the skills or don't give any units/classes a skill. The whole point of bundling new asm hacks with skill systems is so that patches don't need to compete with each other. There's not too much newer stuff that conflicts with skillsys - it's mostly just some older patches that aren't generally recommended for use anymore that conflict.

I think there's a patch. You should ask your questions on 7743's febuilder thread - he'd know more. SkillSystem has become a gigantic entity of engine hacks. Many hacks would interfere with each other if implemented separately, which is why instead they are bundled with SkillSystem so that users can pick and choose the features and skills they want when installing it. If you're using febuilder, 7743 even provides an easy to use custombuild of skillsystems every time he ports a new version of skillsys over to febuilder. https://dw.ngmansion.xyz/doku.php?id=en:en:guide:febuildergba:skillsystems_custombuild&s[]=custom&s[]=build

I feel like interest was lacking due to a few factors, including some stringent rules. My suggestions: - I encourage you to make something new for the contest, but previously made content may be submitted, as long as it hasn't won a previous round. Many of the vocal people in the feuniverse discord felt this was "hacking without hacking" or "no fun allowed". As FEU is the primary gbafe hacking scene, it would be worthwhile to cater to that demographic as well. I know the idea is to encourage more people to try out hacking, but usually new users in #febuilder_help are pretty self concious about their hack and have no intention to be ready for a contest. Perhaps having a parallel thread on feu would be a good idea, too. This is a pretty short time-frame for submissions. I think having someone do a let's play of each submission and having users vote on their favourite one would work better. Even without the voting, people will submit just to have their work shown in a video. Most users don't take the time to try out many hacks, so I think you'll have a very difficult time having people vote this way. I think the MAFC series is similar to this, but there's room for more than just the one Ghast hosts. Finally, with FEE3 right around the corner, that might be what some people are focusing on instead. All that said, don't be discouraged at the lack of submissions. This can be reworked into something valuable. Best of luck with hosting these contests - let me know if there's any way I can help. 🙂

Here is my submission. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V6iZarm8EAEqdZp8vM8CGidCHAwUJM3q/view?usp=sharing Best of luck to everybody else. 😎 In all seriousness, I think there are good intentions behind the stated rules. It's supposed to be a contest without fancy custom ASM, just good old FE8 content. But I also feel that there are many small modifications to the game over the years that are pretty crucial to hacking. Bug fixes (These should be allowed) Anti-huffman (for text editing) Prevent freeze on camera movement out of bounds Essential Fixes Etc. Quality of life (Possibly should be allowed) Skip intro/opening etc. A standardized ModularMiniMug Box (no RPS, Leonarth!) Many of the 'addevent' patches in FEBuilder Etc. QoL simply allows for more room with creating a fun hack, but shouldn't change core gameplay. New Systems (Banned for the contest) Skill systems Special command for each unit Capture enemy Etc. While it is difficult to organize each and every patch into a specific category, you could start by listing some examples of what's allowed and what isn't, and simply respond to specific questions for patches you haven't commented on.

I've made a lot of progress and updated the first post. There are now 8 chapters. Indeed. I was basically sharing the demo as a proof of concept back in April. The combat is a bit better now, but still needs to be improved. You can no longer encounter random battles while adjacent to a snag. 🙂 I hope not to compete with the original game's story. I hope to appeal to nostalgia of it, while also dishing out just enough of the main plot points to have it make sense to a newcomer. I've always felt that the Fire Emblem games have far too much dialogue personally, and I wouldn't know what to write if trying to create my own story from scratch. I find the battle gameplay of Fire Emblem far more interesting than Final Fantasy, so hopefully in this hybrid of games I can end up creating some good battles. It is quite difficult dealing with events that can be triggered at different points in the game, I'm finding. I think I've figured out how to deal with this pretty well by now, but it is a bit of a pain. I feel committed to FFX at this point, but I think for the mainland I would like to have it less linear than the three starting isles (Ruins, Besaid, and Kilika). I've put in a warp chapter feature for debugging while playing on real gba hardware, which I will later re-purpose for the airship to warp around the world map. If I'm going to make a game non-linear, there needs to be reasons to re-visit areas (and it will typically be optional), which I feel is lower priority than creating the main game. I've put in an optional cave in Besaid Island, though. It needs a light source, so you should probably grab Yuna's "Flash" tome if you want to explore it. FFX is a huge game, so I won't ever finish this project if I prioritize side quests. That said, if anyone wants to create content for this game, I would be happy to accept it (and credit you accordingly). Warp World map CG

Current version (8 chapters + some drafts): FFX ups file *Use on FE8 U (This link is automatically updated as I develop.) Post last updated: May 28, 2020 If you'd like to make a chapter for this game, or contribute in another way, please join my discord server. All are welcome (eg. to follow updates and provide feedback). Random battles: Pitch: Final Fantasy 10 is an excellent game well-suited to a Fire Emblem Remake due to its cohesive and linear story line. The final fantasy series is well known and has many assets readily available. This could provide a breath of fresh air to FE Rom Hacks and open the gates for final fantasy crossovers. Enemies assets from final fantasy tactics, which can be imported into Fire Emblem. FFX script, which we'd draw on for inspiration FFX portraits are already imported, but some could be touched up. This game is a JRPG, not quite fire emblem anymore. As so many things differ from Vanilla, expect many things that could be improved on. Feedback is always appreciated. Once this hack is completed, I'd like to allow anybody to make use of the random battles code as well as any assets imported or developed for it. This would mean final fantasy monster map sprites for anyone's use. Thanks for the support, everybody. 🙂 Credits

Hey, if you're interested we could work together. I would need to take some liberties with the strategic element of the game, but I think we could create something nice. I did a mock-up of a Ch. 0 map for you: Their bar is literally a ship. The ship does not function anymore, it is permanently docked there. Anyway, try out the different ch. 0 I made here and let me know what you think - if you're interested in collaborating, etc. To make a compelling game I think the story should be intertwined into maps, not as much between the chapters. I also want to work on the strategic element; it should be far less Rout Enemy and far more "achieve this", or "reach this place". I want a Base Camp unit with Merlinus' overworld sprites that heals nearby units, has supply, and is always targeted by enemies. It would have 0 movement, does not need to be deployed, and not be such a liability that Merlinus felt like. More like, this is your base camp, and if you lure enemies here, you get buffs and heals from it. I'm also interested in a low movement (0-2) ballista character to join at some point.

I made a chapter. It was cool, though it might be more fun to join someone's group. If you like my work, then tell me about your project and maybe I can help. Or if you feel particularly inspired by this trifle then perhaps we could expand it into something. Still can't figure out how to berserk the dragon, though. Patch is for FE8U
