OreoStyx Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) What is Fire Emblem: Scions of Kings? Fire Emblem: Scions of Kings is a FE7 ROM hack made by me and a few others. Here is what to expect from the hack:- custom classes- new events- new maps- custom mugs- some custom weapon icons- new music- CGs (hopefully)Lengthwise, I'm not 100% sure how many chapters there will be. I'm still planning it out and figuring out if I can reduce the number of chapters without affecting the plot. I know that they will be more than 10 chapters though. Any feedback, pointing out any errors, and tips on how to improve the hack is greatly appreciated! =)PlotAccording to ancinet texts, three diving beings entered a dark realm. With their powers, they created a world that filled the empty chaos. The youngest of the gods created the Raedan, our ancestors. They grew to love the gods and built many temples in their honour. In time, the Raedan fought each other to win the gods' favour. It led to many wars that have taken the lives of many. Thsi angred the eldest god. He wished to punish them by taking away their free will and burn the world to ash to start anew. Only a sliver of the world remained unscathed by the god's wrath. The gods then disappeared without a trace. 800 years have passed since they have departed from Yedraes... The story follows the prince of Ibernor, Andros. He sets off on a journey to offer prayers and be blessed at Enki's Shrine of Darkness in order to progress the coronation ritual and officially become the crown prince of Ibernor. He is accompanied by Tobias, his long-time friend and Rai, Lieutenant of the Storm Rider Brigade.

Brendor Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 i should make a concepts thread one of these days the hack looks cool but backstory sounds a lot like Zelda backstory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_Cerberus Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 This hack is looking really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubidium Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 This actually looks really good. The plot is solid, the mugs are looking great, and BOW LORD. Yesssss. The world map looks great, sort of reminiscient to the DreamofFive map due to its cartoony style.Andros looks really cool, nice use of Geitz with the fur on his shoulder, plus the custom animation looks beautiful and holds a lot of continuity to his mug, with the green/blue hair and red cape.and i'll say it againBOW LORD already a 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OreoStyx Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 goddamnit that was gonna be my thing Haha, I guess great minds think alike. this hack looks like its going to be good my new hack is still in the idea phase l'm going to add more ideas soon and in case anyone is wondering l do not have a screenshots so l will have screenshots when l'm off the design phase Thanks, I'll be checking out your hack once you put it out there for the public to see. =3 i should make a concepts thread one of these days the hack looks cool but backstory sounds a lot like Zelda backstory Thank you for pointing this out to me. So if I just said that the gods used their powers and created the earth, sea and sky, instead of just listing what they each did individually, would that eliminate the OoT similarity? This actually looks really good. The plot is solid, the mugs are looking great, and BOW LORD. Yesssss. The world map looks great, sort of reminiscient to the DreamofFive map due to its cartoony style. Andros looks really cool, nice use of Geitz with the fur on his shoulder, plus the custom animation looks beautiful and holds a lot of continuity to his mug, with the green/blue hair and red cape. and i'll say it again BOW LORD already a 10/10 Wow, to have my world map compared to Dream of Five is INSANE! Totally made my evening! I think I'll post a video of the prologue once I tweak out the events so that the scenes flow more smoothly. I just finished working on chapter 1's map and hopefully can get the tile changes to work. Thank you all for your awesome comments and feedback so far. I didn't expect to get this many replies so quickly! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You could but then it sounds vague and generic Try splicing back stories together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OreoStyx Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Could you explain to me what you mean by "slicing back stories together"? I apologize in advance if it was a stupid question, my brain's not making the connection at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I mean like take 3 or 4 well grounded back stories and take a piece from each one and make something out of those pieces That's what I do (or try to do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OreoStyx Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 I mean like take 3 or 4 well grounded back stories and take a piece from each one and make something out of those pieces That's what I do (or try to do) Oh ok. I'm thinking of putting more focus on how Nalani created the creatures. I most likely will delve deeper into the back story as the hack progress, so I might go into more detail there. So for the back story, Nalani would create these beings by using the earth that was created by Enki, use her powers over water to maintain the creatures' forms, and used the air created by Raushan to breathe life into them. Does that sound better? Malcolm is a bow lord... also this actually looks sweet. I like that we actually have quality screens. Keep it up holmes! Thank you! Also, not only is Malcolm a bow lord, he's a freaking demihuman! (I almost wrote demigod instead of demihuman haha) That's always a plus for me. A FLYING bow lord!! I think a lot of people don't realize Malcolm is a lord in your game I'll admit, I'm one of those people who didn't realize Malcolm's a lord. I should have noticed since he's so unique. *facepalm* Anyway, Here's an update with some screenshots for Chapter 1: Wings of Virtue. =D I'm still making the final touches for both the prologue chapter and this chapter, like attempting to add CGs or fixing AI so that he actually attacks you when in range and not stand there like an idiot when changing AI from guarding to pursuing. But I thought I'll just post these early so that you guys get a bit of an update on my progress so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghast Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 if the AI is set to guard then it's changed to something else, they'll just run to you and do nothing, yeah. You'll need to start it with Attack in Range then to pursue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OreoStyx Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Oh ok. That makes sense. I'm still trying to get the hang of hacking, like figuring out what in the ROM is actually free space and fixing the drum track issue when using sappy to insert music.

CT075 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 free space ranges alternatively you should just rebuild your whole thing on fire shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OreoStyx Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thank you for the link CT075. This will definitely help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OreoStyx Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 *bump* Another update for you! So I've learned a bit on conditional events. So there's two endings to this chapter. I'm working on inserting music atm. I'm probably going to get all the music that I plan to be in the hack and insert it all at once so I can organize how I use the free space better.

Topaz Light Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) This looks really neat! I'm really digging how some of the portrait sprites have full-custom elements to them, although I'd look out for pillow shading on some of them. They look nice at a glance, though, so I think they need to be touched up rather than redone altogether. Also, a Bow Lord is nifty. It's a good thing he doesn't seem to start out as the only member of your party, though, 'cause that could... cause issues... I'd like to see Andros' battle sprites animated, instead of just static screenshots, but I suppose that must wait for the time being. I'm assuming you've got all the animations for him set up? (Attack, critical hit, dodge, unarmed, unarmed dodge) I'm definitely looking forward to giving this a playthrough when it comes out!

Nanami Touko Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This looks really neat! I'm really digging how some of the portrait sprites have full-custom elements to them, although I'd look out for pillow shading on some of them. They look nice at a glance, though, so I think they need to be touched up rather than redone altogether. I will second this, you've got some of the neatest little custom ideas on splices I've seen in a while (hats yeah~) but you do need to watch your shading. Specifically in regions like this: The lines are very thick, and flat, and as said by Starlight, pillow shaded. What that means is that it looks as if you're shading with the lightsource all around the item. You need to pick a side for the light to come from, and shade appropriately. Try to make your lines crisp and thin as well, using the second and third shades to add depth where appropriate. You don't need an excess of third shade, ever. It's definitely used for accenting your color palette. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
