Copy-pasting this from FEUniverse, and posting this for the project lead:

Hello everyone, I’m here to share a complete FE8 hack, Bells of Byelen. This release includes 24 chapters and 3 interludes where more characters can be recruited, similar to TRS. There are a total of 73 potential player units, with 60 that can be recruited in any given playthrough.

This is a telephone hack, similar to Call of the Armor by Team Distant Roads. After the completion of CotA, Team Adversity was formed primarily from this same group, along with a few new additions bringing us to 15 chapter creators. The premise was to create a telephone hack using FE5 mechanics and make an attempt at a more in-depth story, while also using a buildfile instead of FEBuilder.

These added complications increased the development time necessary, as it took us nearly a year to make the hack functionally complete. We then took 2.5~ months to polish the hack and create something more [complete], with a focus on writing a complete set of supports and updating aesthetics. Our development method followed the structure of CotA (more information in the CotA post 12), with some minor deviations, mentioned under “Operational Changes from CotA” if you’re interested. Detailed credits are in the same folder as the patch.

Hack Features:

Spoiler

  • Uses other FE5 mechanics with some modifications, such as: Capture, Steal, Fatigue, Leadership Stars
  • Modified Hit/Avo formulas, modified Exp formula similar to FE14 to facilitate Fatigue
  • Supports that increase based on deployment similar to FE9, with reworked support bonuses similar to a 3H-like system, where they apply on initiation if a support partner is in range of the enemy; Bonuses are unique, no affinities. All support chains have been finished writing, and all include a paired ending.
  • Class and item lists reworked from scratch using FE5 as inspiration, along with new custom classes and items
  • Custom skills, new items, weapons, classes, and much more
  • Equippable accessories that grant skills or stats; FE5 Crusader Scrolls reworked into accessories; Some equips decrement durability when attacking or defending, such as shields and arrows

Note: The unique assets within this buildfile are NOT F2U by default. If you’re interested in using one of these assets, then I would recommend reaching out to the person who is credited for it in the credits list included with the patch and asking them directly. Some hacks may be packaged and released standalone at a later date.

Loving the game so far. I'm playing on Mac, on the Open Emu Emulator, and I've sadly run into a game-breaking bug. Upon clearing chapter 6 and saving the game, the game completely crashes. Black screen, weird noises. Super heartbreaking because I was having a ton of fun with it, it's really well done. Any ideas on a fix? Is my emulator the problem?

I'm not sure about this particular bug, but there have been some bugs that have been fixed in updates, so I'd recommend re-downloading the patch from the link and seeing if that works. I play using OpenEmu too, so that should be supported.

My game gets stuck (black screen) in that chapter where I have to capture Coralia. Is this a bug or? I'm playing the game in john emulator. So after I capture Coralia, Chloe dialogue kicks in "Now comes the hard part) and the screen turns black
