scorcher9009 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) I've been working on this poorly made mini-hack for a good 2 months now (mainly because my charger died in Feburary). I hope you'll enjoy it. Some changed include changing what class certain characters are but are not limited to, changing the level cap to 30, changing all the classes stat caps to compliment this change, and changing certain pieces of dialogue. http://www.mediafire.com/download/gklluwqxjzqdmml/Fire+Emblem+-+The+Sacred+Overhaul.ups Edited March 15, 2015 by scorcher9009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 A changelog might be beneficial, it'd be nice to know what we're actually downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorcher9009 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'd honestly like to keep it a secret you know? Some people like being surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewolf8 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The problem with that is there are a lot of people won't even want to bother if they've no idea of what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I won't try because for all I know it could be one of those bad difficulty inflation hacks. That's why you need a changelog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewolf8 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 ...Why did you change Bone to a Pirate? He can't get off his mountain as a Pirate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandragon Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Because I'm an asshole, and wanna force you to use Vanessa! XD because we dont already use her to ferry Ross to Erika and Garcia to Ross thats not a good change in the slightest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorcher9009 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 You can't ferry Garcia to Ross anymore because Garcia is a Warrior now. Also you can promote Franz into either a Wyvern Rider or a Cavalier once he reaches level 10 and he uses a Knight's Crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT075 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 normally i like random class changes/etc but i cbf to play through just to figure out what is changed, pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorcher9009 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's not just random class changes, some other things were changed as well. Like all of the Sacred Twins weapons and Myrrh's Dragonstone now all have infinite uses. Because it doesn't make sense for things like that to break.

CT075 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) oh, yes, because that's what made all ten thousand other fe8 nightmare hacks boring to play, it was the fact that the holy weapons were breakable!

Dandragon Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Because I felt like it? It's my hack, I do what I want. XD I could make a hack about Hitler winning world war 2 and you playing as Nazis killing innocent people because I wanted to. It doesn't mean it's a good idea. And it certainly doesn't mean people will want to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Truth be told, nobody's going to even get that far without any sort of information. A "download this, it's a surprise" gives people no incentive to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorcher9009 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'll admit, it's not an art house masterpiece. But it's something I put a lot of time into. Also there's an awkward graphical issue with skill increases. But it's purely visual and effects nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Look, the thing is, this is your first hack. Truthfully, if Bwdyeti or Arch put out a surprise hack, they could be 100% sure people would play it,because they have a track record of good hacks/fangames that people have loved playing. If Arch puts out a mystery hack, at least a hundred people will play it to see what's cool. People won't question him because he knows what he's doing. You however, are completely unknown. Nothing you've said so far sounds interesting. It sounds like 10 minutes in nightmare to be honest. You have to have a good track record of fun hacks or ragefests or whatever to keep people interested. Just put some info out there, build a good hacking repertoire, and eventually if you get some fans, you can do a mystery hack like this.

scorcher9009 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Good advice, but I'm gonna be honest with you, it's not my first hack, the first rom hack I ever made was of Pokemon Crystal and all it did was change what the starters were. And that one was so poorly done that there was somehow a glitch where the rival used the wrong team at some points in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) At this point in my life, I made 4 unreleased reskin hacks, three FEXP projects, I'm working on two FEXNA side projects, and then there's my super successful FE7CM hack that lots of people like. I could pull off a mystery hack if I wanted to (And to some extent I like to keep mystery in updates for my projects since I think people should experience things fresh) but I don't think you can do it with one random (self-admitted) bad pokemon hack and nothing else. Just update the OP with screenshots and more detailed information bro. There have been probably a hundred 'revamped' FE8 hacks, yours is nothing special as far as most people care, so you need to get their hopes and interest built up. Just take my advice, it wasn't that long ago I could have been in a position similar to yours. Give people something to hook them, build a fanbase, THEN try something like this.

Arch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) too busy loling at klok's "branding" advice much arrogance so condescension inb4 someone actually downloads it, plays it, and it's really "the thing we've all been waiting for" aka a real balance hack none of this inflation/chaos shit Edited March 16, 2015 by Arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
