Eldritch Abomination Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Hello all! It's been quite a while! I'm glad to be back. I'd been working on something for quite some time, and then had a major set back. My old dinosaur computer finally crashed, and then almost caught fire, so naturally I lost all my work, every sprite I'd ever made, and years of writing work. So, naturally, this discouraged Fire Emblem hacking for quite some time for me. However, thanks to my lovely boyfriend, I managed to get all that work back. By the time I got it, though, I'd already grown pretty disinterested in my original ideas for a hack, but I still had a lot of stuff piled up, so I figured I might as well put it to good use. So, I'm making a new hack, Fire Emblem ~ Maiden of Darkness! Yes, that is the FE6 Beta name. No, this hack will not have anything to do with FE6. I'm not remaking FE6 because I'm not talented enough. Though, I promise, the title will be relevant to the plot, which is heavily lightly inspired by Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis, Diablo 3, and a few other games I've played in the past few months. The Story will take place in the country of Advhen, a highly religious island country, whose church and military are heavily interwoven, and ruled by the aging and devout King Gabrian, and his Holy Knights, each of whom governs a major city of Advhen. Due to the King's negligence, and the cruel, and dogmatic laws of the Holy Knights, a peasant uprising has begun, throwing Adhen into turmoil. The first few chapters will detail the Prince of Advhen's escape from one of the major cities, while it is being attacked by the rebels, while he seeks refuge with one of the Holy Knights, and then leads his own counter-attack on the rebellion. As he ventures on, certain truths that were hidden from him became clear, such as the Holy Knights hidden motives, and the true nature of the rebellion. A side plot (Chapter 5x) will focus on a young female commander in the rebellion, and her assault on an Advhen controlled fortress, sneaking in during the night in an attempt to get the drop on their forces. Debates will be had on the morality of some war crimes, such as taking hostages, betrayal, and killing civilians and gentry who are trying to keep out of the civil war. And that's all of the plot I'm going to put here! But I will also put my notes on some of my ideas, and the changes I'll be making from the vanilla Sacred Stones, below. A word of caution, I make my concept notes in all caps, with lots of curse words. It makes it more exciting, and keeps me on track.

And though there's been some advances on it recently, there's still not a whole lot in the way of FE8 hacking documentation, so this isn't going to be something super awesome and amazing. My talents mainly lie in writing, with a minor talent in spiriting, so that's what I'll be focusing on. However, if anyone would like to contribute anything (maps, hacking help, characters, sprites, etc), please just let me know! I'm unlikely to turn down any help, especially with maps or event hacking. However, I'm at least a moderately skilled spriter, and so I will be a bit picky when it comes to any character mugs from others I'm going to put in here. I'm not expecting anything super fancy (I'm actually not expecting anything at all), just so long as it looks clean, and has a nice palette. That's all for the moment. I'm not on my desktop, so I don't have any images to add to this at the moment, but I'll throw them on here as they're brought into existence. Any thoughts, ideas, or criticisms are appreciated!

Eldritch Abomination Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 oh my god it's ghaststation he's so cool don't say anything stupid As soon as I can pull the boyfriend off League of Legends, I'll be posting character Mugs. A lot of this was thought up this morning over subway and coffee, so I don't have a lot of solid progress made into it yet, but most of what I need to do for the initial first few parts or at least enough to mock up some good looking screen shots is stuff I'm fairly good at doing.

Eldritch Abomination Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) And I've added some screen shots. This is just some very basic edits at this point, a few mugs (including some stand in ones), animations, and what not. Haven't done a lot of work on the writing yet, and stats displayed are not even close to final. Just a general view of the look I'm going for.

Alusq Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 "lolol another nooby FE6 remake. Prepare for giggl— ... wait, it's not an FE6 remake? And Eldritch Abomination's helming it?!?!" ^my approximate reaction. If you want one, you've got yourself a music-insertion-person. I don't have many examples of my work online now, but I inserted most of FE: Bloodlines's music and intend on uploading a sampler of some other music-as-inserted-into-FE on youtube just as soon as I have internet that isn't slayed by video upload/download. Also, the pretty colors that you see in FE:BL's maps were my doing too. [shot] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You could definitely bug Alfred for any and all help with event hacking FE8. He's sort of become the go to guy for that, with all he's done. (and if this picks up hey maybe I can dust off ye olde spriting hands and help out, I've always liked FE8 hacks more \ '3'/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 OMG it's bishonen Nergal. Robey/Robbie wouldn't be too confusing, would it? This looks to be a quite interesting hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateborn Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Just asking out of curiosity. Is that female hector and did you ask the creator permission to use it? Edited April 2, 2015 by Fateborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yay!! A magic lord! The screenshots look really cool. Is Mordred a girl or guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Abomination Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm hoping not. Most names are subject to be changed at one point or another along the way. Everything, from names to animations, is still very much in beta at this point. Hence why I have a Zach and a Zac. And thank you~ That is a Female Hector. I didn't think I would need to ask permission to use it, since I made it. All I did was throw on some longer hair onto Hectors model. Any animations you'll be seeing here come from either the Fedtior Animations post, or were made by me. Mordred is a guy. He'll be a male dancer, filling Natasha's spot. The mug is just a stand in for the moment. Magic Lords are the best. I'm trying to avoid Sword Lords, though both the melee Lords will get swords after promoting, so use of the Fire Emblem isn't entirely impossible for them.

Eldritch Abomination Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Much appreciated, but I assure you, I'm not in the habit anymore sorry eCut of taking from others without permission.

Eldritch Abomination Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Wow, so, super fun long overdue update time. My entire computer crashed. My hard drive is completely fired, and I lost everything. All my mugs, animations, weapon icons, the whole nine yards. Thankfully, not all is lost. Some of my custom stuff I had backed up on a google drive, but without a computer of my own to work on, I haven't been able to do anything with this project. However, it's not dead yet. My lovely boyfriend just got me a new laptop, and my first priority is getting this project revamped, up and running. It's still going to have playable fire dragons, and axe wielding lesbians, but the first thing I'm reworking is the story, to give it a more Fire Emblem feel to it. Updates will be coming over the next few weeks, but they will be slow, as I work six days a week. Prepare your anuses, though, because with all the lovely new animations that have come out, and my intent to learn all I can about event hacking in my spare time, I'm hoping to make this something at least decently mediocre.

Clarinets Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) AN ARMORED LESBIAN LORD WITH AN AXE (WHAT LILINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN) ...Darn, looks like someone has come up with this for Lilina already... Seriously though, this hack looks pretty cool so far. I'm looking forward to more updates~ Edited December 2, 2015 by ClarinetsandOboes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Abomination Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I swear I've been working on this! I've got (almost) all of the animations I need together, and I've been working on mugs, too. I've entirely rewritten the story. The original title may not even be applicable anymore? Anyway, I should have a trailer out for it sometime next month, and a patch of the first five chapters will follow soon after. Edit: Also, I'm totally down with any sort of mug submissions for characters. I didn't realize how tiring it can be to try to make character portraits for 30+ characters, with each one looking unique. It's a pain in the ass not being talented like so many others on here Edited January 28, 2016 by Eldritch Abomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
