Buh...



I don't...



Wait....


WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?

So, in case you haven't guessed, yeah, I'm starting FE: A Sacred Dawn over.

It was a while back when I realized that no work was getting done on ASD, too many thought processes of random crap, so many things to work on still, and a desire to try and make everything better. So, I just basically said "fuck it" and decided to start fresh. This time, I had a little more to go on and a lot more to utilize. Also, due to personal problems, I withdrew myself from the internet for a bit and worked on this in secrecy.

So, basically, I'm going to start completely from scratch with a new story and everything. Same premise, mostly, we've still got Julie and Josh running around being themselves while trying to stop Zephiel, but there's gonna be more than the standard. I don't think there will be any mention of the Sacred Stones this time, Zephiel's role is going to be a bit more...expansive, and Ruby even moreso. Micaiah and pals will still be there, as will Begnion, and, well...we'll kinda go from there. XD

Right now I've got the Prologue and Chapter 1 finished, thanks to my, uh, hiatus. I expect progress might be a little bit more steady in the future, and a lot more steady than it has been in months past. I've got some help in various degrees, mainly from Josh(Lord Glenn), but others have pitched in. If you want to(and can) help make ASD shine, you are more than welcome to! I appreciate any help I can get to make this move faster, though my main problem will forever always be animations. I can do most other graphics on my lonesome, but anims take too long, so...

Spoiler (Chapter 1)

And a video of the Prologue here


Anyway, here we go, guys. It's a new dawn on the horizon! Let's make this work!

New stuff!

I asked this in the video but never got a response, how did you skip the world map mumbo jumbo the happens before the prolouge?

[Aviv]

Yes!!!

Welcome back Ray and I absolutely LOVE the new look of the hack!

[Lilmik11]

Great work, I'm sure this will be awesome!

[HF Makalov Fanboy Kai]

the fact that this actully looks origenal for once makes me want to play this, good job with that.

[Burning Gravity]

I don't know why but I kind of missed your huge jumbos of screenshots all piled together and whatnot. :O

Good luck that you can make better and faster progress this time.

Why are you attacking your own son?

[Burning Gravity]

I think it's a training session.

[Black★Rock Shooter]

Impressive as usual. It already looks incredible and like it can only get better from here.

Actually really easy. Just change the Prologue's World Map events in Nightmare to Chapter 1's, which has no events. :E

[Joerachi]

Oh, that's good to know, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for that!

Hope the hack will work out this time. Third times the charm?

Unless you found a way around it without trying to edit FE8 world map events through hex, that won't work for every chapter in FE8. Just the prologue, chapter 1, 5x, both chapter 12's, both final chapters, and all the tower and ruin chapters IIRC. You need world map events to run for certain chapters or the game crashes. Yay... (At least through my experiences anyway...)

And even then, I think you need to have the prologue world map event run at some point to load "Eirika's" sprite onto the world map. But I never did too much research into it, and for all I know, you already know a way around all of this (and if you do, and you could tell me, would really appreciate it, since everything I try and do to fix it doesn't work...)

[Mage Knight 404]

@Blademaster: Yeah I already found that out myself. If nothing else, we can just have a random world map event that no one cares about. E:

[Taku]

I've been waiting for this hack for awhile ever since FE404 and the first version of this hack.

Prologue looks good from the video, chapter 1 screenshots look good from here. Hope to see a lot of great ideas from here.

Hope this time everything goes well.

[FutureCam]

Yaay. Sequel to the first hack I ever played is coming back.
Sweetness.

[MagicLugh]

Looks great. Looking forward to this.

Are you going to release a patch until the route split again or is it until you're completely done?

[Light Lord]

Looks quite improved, I will look forward to this hack MK404.
It looks just great, good luck with it!

MNC2 makes it so that the game doesn't use map events on the next chapter.

I just noticed there's no mention of Mama Linoan. Did she fall of the face of Magvel or somethin'?

if i had to guess from what i saw in the opening he's trying to cut all ties to his older hack to make this one seem origenal.



granted yes Raymond from the last game is here, but he's not a fire emblem charactor that IS made so he doesn't stand out to people who haven't played his older hack
