I'm using the Lex Talionis LT-Maker engine, yes.

Why diagonal mov/ranges? Because nobody can stop me. On a square grid you can be attacked from four places at once. On a hex grid? Six places. But on a square grid with diagonal movement and attacking? Eight places at once! And it only gets exponentially better when ranges increase. 24 units with 1-2 range options can surround a 25th unit and strike him. It turns Fire Emblem into more of a position-based strategy game by making Juggernauting harder, potentially even impossible.

Ah, I think I'd have to see it in practice but in principle I think that could work well with the right map design. It is worth noting, however, that diagonal movement is essentially worth double that of horizontal/vertical movement on a square grid, and because of that it strikes me as an odd choice. You've probably thought of that though.

And mixed damage options that don't suck

Or a secondary item that gives plus 1 move and canto

Maybe in a bonus difficulty.

Galeforce except killing isn't even necessary, you just have to end your turn hitting someone and my Canto code gets confused. After fixing how Hit And Run, the skill all Infantry Units share to let them spend up to 2 unspent movement points moving after combat, is supposed to work, I decided to turn the glitched implementation into a separate feature.

Poison Blow is one of those skills meant to ensure enemies can stay threatening even if you're using every advantage and option to get your stats as high as possible.

Romhacking. Though I don’t how they managed to mod the UI.

@@projectpitchfork860it’s clearly it’s own engine

This ui looks like a rpg maker game ngl

I'm using LT-Maker, but with custom code edits by me.

My art guy isn't done making the skill icons yet (I'm my art guy)

I played on Lunatic but maybe he just got absurdly stat blessed on my run in the stats that mattered. He solod so many enemy groups, having him around felt like easy mode.

He’s just as broken in Rev

@@TheLonelyNihilego No he's not due to Rev having stronger enemies both in stats and composition. He's still a great unit but can't compare to better units like Xander, Fuga, Speedstacked Leo, Shura, etc

@@oof5992 Xander SUPER fell off in my only two Rev playthroughs. I blame RNG growths.

The Engineer... is engi-here.

I've temporarily disabled those "Higher range weapons deny counters to lower range weapons, break exists, bows counter first, spells don't counter, etc" skills for now but I'll add those back in when I'm done testing other stuff.

Because he can only dodge one attack per turn, if he doubles a foe he gets two free hits on someone who can't hurt him that turn. But if that foe doubles him, the second strike obliterates him. A good way to give the thief some combat utility, but not too much, and ensure it stays within the class fantasy. He won't be dodgetanking everything on the map, but when he really needs a lucky dodge, the player can decide when it happens.

I'm putting Shark and Mermaid girls in my game because nobody can stop me. Fox Girls too. And Werewolf girls. And more.

Two shields. It's great, just ask the Dark Souls players.

Peak dialogue. I'm sure I won't look back on this writing in ten years and cringe. Having fun is my goal, this isn't Shakespeare and I have no illusions about it being Shakespeare.

Avoid reduces your chance to be critically hit. No, wait, that's "Dodge", and it's "Avoid" that reduces your chance to be hit. Having negative avoid makes your foe even more likely to hit you. My game removed random dodges and crits so I plan on removing them from the HUD too.

This is Fire Emblem: Rising Thrust, a FE fangame I am working on.

Yes, I got mad when in FE Conquest's Fuga's Wild Ride the enemies I defeated over bottomless pits weren't instantly destroyed.

I've thought about turning off battle animations and I've thought about reworking them to use large still images like Fire Emblem Heroes and Darkest Dungeon. Recently I decided to resize the screen again to use the 3DS's top screen size. But some things are still misaligned.

On a square grid you can be surrounded by 4 foes who each get one hit on you with 1 range weapons. On a hex grid, 6 foes can get you. But on a square grid with diagonal movement and attacking, 8 foes can surround and attack one foe in one turn. This makes juggernauting worse and 1-range melee units better, just like improving Attack Stance so it gets friends and foes within 2 tiles of the attacker and target. Really it's a bit silly that a swordsman adjacent to an archer can Dual Strike someone 2 tiles away from the archer and 3 tiles away from the swordsman but a swordsman right behind a foe couldn't help Dual Strike that foe unless he was adjacent to someone with a 2-range weapon attacking that foe in vanilla FE. My game has Attack Stance, so if we assume the first attacker's dual strike partner is positioned so he is in range to assist when attacking, without needing to move, so he can move in and attack next, eight attacks in one turn with 1-range melee weapons can turn into 16 attacks with 1-range melee weapons in one turn. The more places you can be attacked from with melee, the better melee gets. To balance this out, ranged weapons deny counterattacks even when the foe is seemingly in range to counter. Bows, Magic, even thrown melee weapons (which suck hard on purpose for balancing purposes and cannot double or crit), they all deny counterattacks unless your foe's weapon matches or surpasses their range.

Pair Up attack is a feature in Lex Talionis Maker, I'm using that Python engine.

Hahaha, more like FFXXX.

Thanks, I worked hard on that thumbnail! It was a bit of a hassle to get all that text visible in the thumbnail.

Ha ha ha, perfectly balanced as all things should be!

Yes.

This map feels open and empty because it's a big empty square for debugging purposes. The real maps will feel better. Even if I need to set the battles on small islands and surround them with water tiles to fit the screen's boundaries. Or set them inside caves and dungeons and castles and fill the sides of the screen with wall tiles.

yes

I'll draw them later. Probably.
