Hey all. I was wondering if anyone made any progress on the music looping issue? I took a look around in the sound.bsrar and sound_us.bsrar files but didn't find anything indicating loop timing or song duration. If no one has any idea at the moment, where would be a good place to start looking?

The project is not dead! Things have been slow thanks to school and life responsibilities, but we're still active and working slowly but steady 😊

Unfortunately Serenes won't let me edit the post, so here's the image of the kdports' map!

Hello everyone! This is our March progress update for Saga of Spirits: Eon Compass, a fangame based on Fire Emblem organized by /u/sadness20. Though school and work are keeping most of us busy, that hasn’t stopped our team from making some more progress this month! Here is a rough overview of what we’ve done so far! :) --- CURRENT PROGRESS Art 37 classes and playable characters have received concept art Cavalier, Pegasus Knight, and Wyvern overmap sprites completed 9 classes, playable characters, and sprites in production Official portraits of playable cast in production Writing Script drafted up to chapter 3x Side/secondary characters currently being pitched and reviewed Chapter 4 of script in progress Gameplay Decided enemy units for prologue Completed multiple map concepts (Chapters P-6) Currently balancing stats for prologue units Music drafting/planning instrumentation and themes Programming All movement skills implemented The prologue and chapter 1 have been implemented --- EXAMPLE WORK Here's a sample of the opening cutscene music, written by Josh, one of our musicians. And you can follow our overmap sprite progress here! --- DEVELOPER COMMENTARY SPOTLIGHT: Chapter 1 map design by kdports (Disclaimer: These are all placeholder assets.) Objective: Defeat Boss My name is kdports, and I’m one of the lead map designers of the Saga of Spirits: Eon Compass team. Although we have a significant number of maps conceptualized, approved, or implemented, I’m here to show off one of my personal favorites today. This map, taking place very early on in the game, finds Farren and co. in a precarious position. Although some of the art is obviously still a work in progress, this map provides a variety of opportunities for various rewards in the form of villages scattered throughout the map. However, the drive for loot comes at a cost: reinforcements will continuously spawn at the two sets of two forts at the top of the map, and stream to the south in an attempt to overwhelm the player. Clearing this map isn’t particularly difficult, it’s only a 2 turn walk to the boss after all. But only the best players will be able to reach all three villages and clear the chapter. Oh, did I mention that all four of your starting units are essential, and any of their deaths is an automatic Game Over? I hope you’ll enjoy playing through this map and others during your journey through Erideill.

"Ten years have passed since the invasion of Galicia by its sister nations, Vestfold and Muserta. Despite the war’s end, famine still runs rampant throughout the continent of Erideill, placing many at risk of starvation and disease. Farren, the young leader of a small group of thieves, receives a simple job from an unknown patron; retrieve a small artifact from the mansion of a corrupt noble, and receive a handsome sum in return. Though eager to provide for his crew, Farren soon finds that his employer isn’t the only one looking for this treasure – nor does he understand the true secrets behind its mysterious past. He soon finds himself at a crossroads with a number of factions, all with their own personal agendas. With alliances thrown into question and enemies emerging at every turn, Farren soon finds himself embroiled in a conflict far beyond his wildest expectations – a battle that will determine whether Erideill will live or die in the hands of those who seek to protect it." --- Hey all! This is Omega, one of the project leads of Saga of Spirits: Eon Compass! Originally organized by u/sadness20 on Reddit, we are developing a fan game based on Fire Emblem. Our first posts were to Reddit (Links here: 1 2 3) and Fire Emblem Universe (Link), so the project has been in the works for quite a bit. This thread will contain all of the progress updates we will post from here on out. Over the last nine months we’ve made a fair amount of progress, and we’ve decided that we are ready to start sharing monthly updates with the community! We're all very excited to see our work slowly come to life, and hope that you'll share in the excitement with us! Below is a brief snapshot of our progress so far. --- Current Progress Art 34 classes and playable characters have received concept Cavalier and Pegasus Knight overmap sprites completed 9 classes and playable characters currently in production Wyvern Knight overmap sprites currently in production Writing Script drafted up to the start of chapter 3 (Prologue, Chapters 1 & 2 are complete) 17 full supports drafted and under review Currently refining/fleshing out Act 2 characters Gameplay Decided enemy units for Prologue Completed map concepts for Chapters P-6 Currently balancing stats for prologue units Music Main motif established Several pieces started --- Example Work Check out some examples of our work so far!

Out of curiosity, what new gay pairings could we expect to see?

Thanks a ton! CQ has been kicking my ass lately, haha

Hey all. Does anyone have a Selena with Astra and Replicate?

Thank you!

I meant this as a skill request, haha I guess the wording was pretty ambiguous

I'd prefer to put this in a skill thread if there is one that isn't outdated, so mods can remove this if necessary.

Chiming in really quick, have you considered having Mastery/proc skills be activation based, using HP (Aura in this case) as a resource?

I've replaced both map and combat music before, they have different effects if they're different lengths. In the case that the replacing song is shorter than the replaced one, it will work/loop just perfectly. In the case that the song is longer, combat songs will completely cut out until another battle sequence starts. Map themes will just loop early. I don't recommend it in most cases, it can be pretty jarring but it's great if you have one of adequate length. I have Id (Purpose) replacing A Grasping Truth and it's amazing.
