Ziose0 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Okay, so awhile ago I had begun work on my first rom hack, although I pretty much rushed into it and started working on it quick and such just to get my work out there for publicity. But now that I've learned a bit more about character development and event hacking, I've decided to restart my project, previously titled, Tales of Artrucia. Besides the fact that Artrucia was more complicated to remember and spell than Lucia, I've redone many of my characters, mostly getting rid on all of the characters who were just recolorings with the exception of a few, and making sure that this time, all the colors coincided with each other since they were mixed up a good bit. But here's the main story this time since it's changed a bit. [spoiler=Storyline] There was once a great war. The country of Symphia, said to hold the greatest military power at the time, conquered all using the combined strength of the Dragonkin and the Eio'lukai, or dragonmasters. It seemed that all hope was lost, but through the combined efforts of Iselia, the agricultural country, Alphalia, the Holy Empire, and Gnorr the land of the Guilds, Symphia was defeated. During this war, the beastmen, a race of beast humanoids, sided with Symphia, and as a result of their loss in the war, the Beastmen were chased out of the four countries and forced to flee to the Great Plains of Koran. The Dragonkin, for their assult on Lucia, were wiped out, the few survivors fleeing to the underworlds of Lucia. Two years after Symphia's defeat, the continent of Lucia shows signs of returning to normal, however peace cannot last forever. There is talk of cults, traitors among countries, the return of the vengeful Beastmen, and even whispers of the defeated Dragonkin returning to seek vengance as well. But could all of this be but stories? For the time being, I'm currently working on releasing a patch once I've finished ACT I up to chapter 5. Screenshots will also be along in due time below: [spoiler=Screenshots] Also special thanks [spoiler=Credits] MageKnight404: For getting me started on FE rom hacking in the first place, as well as allowing me to use his Armorknight animation until I learn how to make animations. Blazer (Back at Feshrine) I believe you're Luffy on here, but I'm not sure. But thanks for all of the editting help and such you've provided for me in the past year or so :D Shadowofchaos: event hacking, animation and portrait help, as well as my other various question Arch: For your amazing Event Making tutorial And to all others I've seemed to have forgotten at the time, I thank you for your help, as I will continue adding on here. And now the first patch!

CrashGordon94 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 For a second I thought you were making a hack based on the female Swordmaster from FE9/10... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 For a second I thought you were making a hack based on the female Swordmaster from FE9/10... Lucia Versus the World It would be cool to see a hack where all the shitty characters of FE team up to prove that they're not worthless!

Ether Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Lucia Versus the World It would be cool to see a hack where all the shitty characters of FE team up to prove that they're not worthless! For maximum trollage, the final boss is a really good FE character, and the fight is unwinnable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 For maximum trollage, the final boss is a really good FE character, and the fight is unwinnable. No, unwinnable fights are dumb, and the purpose of the hack wouldn't be to "troll" anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It would be cool to see a hack where all the shitty characters of FE team up to prove that they're not worthless! Several of the Genealogy of *** hacks reuse not-so popular characters with modified stats and growths, often improving them. This sort of answers your "it would be cool" interest :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 The First patch has been uploaded. It goes up to Ch. IV, instead of Ch. V as I had intended. But since I've been busy, I was not sure if I would be able to get to it any time soon, so here's the progress I had made last month.

Chocolate Kitty Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 no screenshots of progress = not many people will give it a chance ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I suppose you're right...might as well just post a few...although like I said, not THAT much is done yet. At least not what I wanted to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 well if you have nothing to show, why are you releasing a patch ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I need to get the bit of progress I had made out, to make sure I don't get lazy and just close off this project...again...but i've upload a few screenshots. I want to go back and fix a few though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz94 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 So Noah's palette puts a big black spot in the middle of his face. The maps you have a very basic which is fine for the early stages of a hack. In Chapter 3 the village Penelope starts on just says, (Increases Speed) and nothing happens. In Noah's death quote Penelope's face pops up on both sides of the screen and glitches out. When Neilson talks to Laurel and she gives him the iron lance, she says, "Sister...Right!" which I think should be him saying that. The second in command in chapter 4's name is still Dart.

Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm leaving Noah's palette as such for the time being, because it's what I'm choosing to work with. Theres a patch of blue on his arm as well. Map-wise...I'm horrible, so I'm either going to have to ask for help with that at a later time, or just do the best I can. Ch. III, I played through and it says it's fixed <_<. But Maybe I fixed it before I made the patch. The rest I was unaware of, thank you.

Ansem Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The sprites are pretty obvious, cant you go for something more complex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz94 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 No problem. Not a bad hack I must say. I like the plot line as much as I have seen. Another thing, I believe it's chapter 2, the night mission. It is a rout enemy/kill boss goal, but the box says seize throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) The sprites are pretty obvious, cant you go for something more complex? Explain what you mean by that? And Fuzz, thanks, I'll fix those few errors and then I'll repost the patch with this fixes. I'd appreciate any other advice or found errors you can provide Edited February 20, 2012 by ziose0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Noah is an obvious Will splice, Penelope is an obvious Priscilla splice, Cornwall is an obvious Garcia splice and Colette is an obvious Marisa splice. Oh yeah and Shaman dude is a recolor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Basically Kai means, try and do stuff when splicing other than just pasting a head on a body. If you check the splicing contests they may give you some ideas~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 The shaman is a generic enemy just used as a boss in that chapter. So there's no problem there. As for the splices, I'm not as concerned, because the thing that makes them most obvious is their faces, which are exactly how I depicted there. Plus, I'm a writer, not a spriter...or a mapper haha. All of the generic enemies are easily identified as well. This is only one of the stories I'm planning to use with this hack. The next generation's sprites are the ones I spent the most work and time on. And even some of them are obvious. Doesn't make them bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Doesn't make them bad Mmmm yes it does. It takes away from them as characters if they still look like what they've been spliced from. Now, you don't have to change them if you don't want to, but I'd highly suggest it. People prefer to look at more complex and clean splices than simple, easy to tell ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 When neilson dies he says " sorry brother" i think he should say "sorry sister" and the battle animations of some characters, like noah, have horrible colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Like this: I'm pretty sure it's just Wil and Lugh's hair, stuck on Roy's face stuck on Erk's body. It's not really a complex splice (It's not even all that clean tbh, I have some work to do fixing up) but people would enjoy it more simply because it doesn't look exactly like Lugh recolored (Although it's not that far from it :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziose0 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I understand. Well, I mean, I'll work on that once I have time then. But as for the generic enemy, as well as some of the bosses because they become generic, I believe it's safe to say I can leave them alone, right? But Still, I will work on splicing the mugs more in spare time I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
