Thanks!

Skylark, this is my upcoming hack. It adds a new chapter (Back from the Brink) where the party rescues Schala.  Magus is no longer an optional character, and like the other characters, this is his time to be a mandatory party member and get some development time.

Schala isn't playable, but since she survives and is important to the party, she pops up here and a few other times that obviously weren't in the original game.

Oh, that is an interesting idea. That will be something to see.

Thanks!

Allow me to pimp my other Square hacks that used a similar concept.

I can vouch for the amazing-ness of Fauntleroy's FF mods. The last two times I've played FFVI on PC I've played with the General Leo patch. :)

Just make sure you aren't too attached to Shadow before you install! :D

Forgive a totally self-indulgent post, but... I finished my "more similar to the PSX ending cutscene" human Glenn.











Thanks again to Mauron for showing me how to edit sprite packets!

Looks stellar!

You know, this may end up being just in time for Dream Splash. Boy, wouldn't that be a motivational factor for future Dream Splashes!

Either way, I can't wait, Fauntleroy!

Oh, thank you!

I think I'm gonna go one better and change the palette to a more emerald green.

As for timing, it will probably be a few weeks. I only have one big "thing" left to do but then there has to be more testing before a release happens.

Thanks, everyone! :D

I did end up changing the palette and I think it's a big improvement.

Can't wait for this hack either. Will definitely be a headliner.

Mauron is my hacking guru man! Mauron taught me everything - I've successfully replaced NPCS, map graphics, but not a playable characters -yet. I CAN its just sprite assembly makes me want to chew my arm off.

My hard drive crashed and I need to re-dig out all my old tools like tilemolester and whatever one it was I used for sprite assembly HRM.

Ahh those pictures of your hack give me life and look great! I am much excited for this hack! If you need some help making sprites let me know!
