The funny skeleton man. I like Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.

GORGON-EGG aims to be powerful while maintaining ease-of-use. A power user could, for instance, have numbers fall off the window and cause a game over if they touch the bottom of the screen.

This was implemented entirely within the user config and required zero modification of the underlying code.

@smilies.bsky.social says that my posting style is 'corporate' (which is fair), so I'm going to try loosen it up a bit.

I've just dropped v1.0.0 of my GBAFE unit window system, GORGON-EGG: feuniverse.us/t/25690

This impostor (or anything else really) could be part of your project in minutes.
Four Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem screenshots tiled in a two-by-two arrangement, showcasing the capabilities of the 'GORGON-EGG' window system. The top-left screenshot is for FE8U, featuring a window that includes the unit's small portrait, affinity icon, current HP (as both a bar and a number), name (in a small font), and items. The top-right screenshot is for FE7J, showing a window containing the unit's full inventory as well as their name. The window uses an alternate set of graphics tiles for its background. The bottom-right screenshot, which shows FE6J, contains a minimal window. This window features the unit's name in a small Japanese font, their HP as a bar, and an icon indicating that the unit is holding a dangerous weapon. The bottom-left screenshot shows a red crew member from the hit video game 'Among Us' made using the 'GORGON-EGG' window system.

The German FE4 translation team having permission to use things from DDS is good--for the German translation.

As far as I can remember, the operative word is "can't" and not "wouldn't".

The ending bit of the FAQ here and this bit from the SF forum post are just...incredibly poor taste.

This is a snippet from the Lil' Nordion forum post on the Serenes Forest forums. It reads: If BookOfHolsety, DDS, or any other member of the Project Naga team wishes to restart their project, these files may also be a helpful base to start with.

LIl' Nordion (henceforth 'LN') was posted on the 9-year anniversary of the thread for Project Naga (forums.serenesforest.net/topic/63676-...), the translation that it steals.

There's an incredible section in LN's FAQ about how they don't have any **explicit permission**.

->
This is a snipped of Lil' Nordion's Frequently Asked Questions document that reads: Q: Did you get permission from Project Naga? A: Yes and no. As far as we are aware, the project has been abandoned and the main coder has not been in touch with the project lead. Both of them have also disappeared from the internet with indications that they have no interest in communicating. Attempts to reach them for an explicit permission were made in the past few years, to no avail. What we do have is: - Permission from the German team to use their project files as a basis for our own patches. They, themselves, had explicit permission from DDS. - BoH allegedly said to someone else that he wouldn't stop us if we made a Spanish patch? - DDS shared his FE4 assembly code with the Project Exile team in exchange for our own code if he were to work on FE5. From one coder/project to another, Miacis is now in possession of that code. While this is certainly not ideal, we believe this qualifies as due diligence given the circumstances. Our goal is obviously not to steal or overshadow the Project Naga team in any way, and we’d gladly collaborate or assist them if they were to continue their own project.

Happy International Hack Release Day!

This year's project is for FE7U and should look eerily familiar to folks here.
Six screenshots of Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword, showing a newly-added fourth stat screen page. This page shows posts from the character's social media feed.

Once again, I am a third of Glade's votes for CYL.
This is a snippet from this year's 'Choose Your Legends' poll for the game 'Fire Emblem Heroes', showing that the character Glade received a total of 19 votes.

I don't play FEH anymore, but...

When talking about Emblem Chronicle VII, one of my favorite things to do is to show things that aren't present in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.

For instance, it's very common in the GBA Fire Emblem games for scenes to switch maps, such as during the opening of the chapter 'Another Journey' here. ->
During the opening cutscene of the chapter 'Another Journey', Hector finds Matthew in a room off to the side of the chapter's main map. After the cutscene, the game switches maps to the map where the chapter's main gameplay takes place.
