Funny how you need to show off a screen when you add a guy in there. XD

Dangit Mage Girl how'd you find out jk... I wasn't sure if FE8 was the same as FE7 but I figure it'd be... I think the best term for that is 'Event ID' and surprisingly Mage Girl got all of the details that she mentioned right, I was expecting to have to go "no, this is how it actually works" but lol I was pwnt. No offense Mage Girl. most people just talk w/o really knowing what they're talking about though. :\

[boney]

I'm pretty sure that mage girl actually tested this out. I did this
once before and it worked.

[Mage Girl]

As I said earlier, most of my work lately has been on writing. Likewise, I'm getting pretty close to having all the support characters decided. Soon enough I'll have exactly who will support who.

So expect next demo to have at the very least the correct support characters. Not sure how many conversations will be completed at the time, but at least the characters won't be supporting whoever would have been supportable to the character they replaced from FE8 based off their placement.

On the graphics side, I only have 5 more player characters to create portraits for. After I'm through with that and the writing, I'll probably get back to the hacking part of this project.

[Mage Girl]

Double post, sadly. But I do have some things to mention.

Firstly, the events for Chapter 9 Brenna have been completed and tested, everything is working. Other portions of the chapter have also been finished, such as the boss data, text, and so forth.

The support pairings have been set up as well. So definitely when I release the next demo I would recommend you start from the beginning again, not only because I'm going to try to make improvements to the early chapters, but because of this:


Yes, those screens are both from the same save file. If you've used supports they'll get messed up.

And one last thing I want to show is a preview of the new Brenna battle sprite I'm working on.


Yes, she'll still look similar to Eirika (already based the sprites for her promotion off Eirika, so I really have no choice) but this one will look a lot better than the color edit of Eirika, because the colors on the sprite will be better organized to fit her palette.

And yes, Brenna is officially left handed.

[Fire Blazer]

OFFICIALLY LEFT-HANDED? NO WAI?

Regarding the supports, man, that could be troublesome. Thankfully I did no such thing on my playthrough. Although it worries me regarding what I will do for some of my other hacks and their supports... *ponders*... I'll live huh?

More importantly, good to hear you have progress on the events front. It's cool to know there will be other customized hacks with custom events. I'm looking forward to a complete patch. Keep it up.

[Mage Girl]

I've finished Brenna's new battle animation and imported it. Here's a short video showing off her animation.



Note that I didn't include the magic sword animation in the video, but that's because it doesn't have any truly unique frames, the critical animation has all the frames the magic animation has.

[Falaflame]

I downloaded the hack and played through 4 chapters. Now, my question is, are there any boys that may make a cameo?

Really cool though. 5/5

[Mage Girl]

Since I gave a preview of Brenna while her sprite was still in progress, I might as well do the same for Bellona:


This one is fully custom, I only used Brenna's sprite as a model for sprite size to make sure Bellona's height makes sense along side her sister. I based her design off her portrait, as you probably would expect; her axe is modeled after the graphic for her prf weapon, the Damen Beil.

[Fire Blazer]

She looks AWESOME! No joke. Please show us (or at least me lol) the sprite sheet for when it's done, too, if you can.

[Falaflame]

FInally got around to finishing the demo.

I gotta say, fine work. I'm looking forward to the full version. <33333 Mage Girl :3

pwn/10

[Mage Girl]

A small preview of things to come:


I know what you're probably thinking: "What? A playable Civilian?" Yes! But she's not useless, she can wield lances and also acts as a thief. (She can use lockpicks.)


She may look familiar to those of you who played the demo.



Uses Amelia's trainee battle sprite. (Also, OMG! Generic enemy with an accurate name!)



And yes, the map does look empty. That's because I've only started on the events for it and haven't placed all the enemies yet. XD

[Oblivion Knight]

Oh wow looks pretty nice.
I can't wait for more updates.

[Fire Blazer]

Playable civilian is awesome, and I like her portrait.

On a side note, I added your hack to the mainsite. I gave a little bit of information myself and copy/pasted the background to the story.

http://www.feshrine....rillagadek.html

Aside from that, I used some of the screens on the 1st post to show the hack. You're allowed 9 screens on the main page and a link to a screenshot gallery or some post with more screenshots if you want (as well as links to whatever else you might want, such as videos or a website).

Tell me if there's anything I can do to improve it. Thanks a lot.

[Mage Girl]

The only changes I'd like done at this moment would be to have the version number displayed accurately (On the site it's written 0.10 when it's actually 0.1.0) and I'd also like the following screens added to the screenshots.





(The additional screens are to show off a few things like edited convos and the paladins with axes.)

And possibly replacing the title screen screenshot you have up with this one which is accurate to the patch available as of now:



I probably won't ask for any other changes on the mainsite until the next demo is released.

[Tsuki-Hime]

My apologies if it's been asked already but why "Gorilla Gadek"? As the title? Or is that a plot device? I was kind of expecting to see a hack full of bandits or something xD Gorilla = Hairy old men = bandits(somehow xD)

And I have no clue what Gadek means xD

It's not important, just curious as to where the name came from.

[Mage Girl]

"Gorilla Gadek" has something to do with something that will appear later in the hack. I'm not going to say what just yet, because I don't want to release any spoilers.

Also, in case people are wondering, the "SG" in the title does stand for something, I'm just intentionally not saying what it means. XD

Sorry for taking forever. I finished making all the updates you said. If there's anything else, give me a heads-up!

[Mage Girl]

After months of idleness on this project, I have actually been working on something for it! Might as well show something of my progress...



Looks ugly right now, and the map itself is fairly plain, but it's better than simply being Magvel. I will have to do some TSA hacking for this to actually look good, obviously. TSA hacking is something I haven't done with Fire Emblem yet, but it's something I'm planning to get into soon, clearly.



Also did this real quickly using Kate's World Map TSA patch. Although there are some issues with the top right corner of the map, as you can see. So I would also need to do some TSA hacking with this map too, even if I were to use Kate's hack in the final version.

Edit: Page display glitch due to me attempting to delete posts (which failed XD).

isn't that pretty much the same aside from the names? /confused
