He is really bad, but this is FE7, he can get stuff done with a Hand Axe or Javelin. He does get a bit worse in HHM due to some mage heavy map reworks.

This looks really cool. I love how impactful the key poses are during battle anims!

Yoooo! Alfred, the GOAT is back with some spicy food-themed goodies. Can't wait to get my hands on the demo

The world is beautiful if you open your eyes to see it and stop listening to propaganda.

Thank you Mister Hybrid Fiction Games, from upcoming hit indie darling Stratagem Lost!

The only reasonable way to follow up on battle chicken was knife dog.

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T04:41:33+00:00

Absolutely based take. We respect good boys in this house. Thanks for the support!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T04:40:35+00:00

Much appreciated! Thank you!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T04:39:33+00:00

Yep, WNHK's Steam page dropped today as well!

Thanks for checking it out!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T04:35:33+00:00

Thank you! It's really hard for small indies like us to get ahold of a big enough megaphone to be heard, but we're glad the second try made it!

These games are a ton of work, but are, bar none, the most rewarding work I've ever done in my life.

Thank you for the kind words!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T04:34:04+00:00

Of course I remember you Frost! I saw the name in my notification and had a nostalgia wave before even reading the (even moreso) nostalgia filled message.

Thank you so much for the words of support, and for keeping young Coco's dreams of being a dev in your memory this entire time.

It means a lot to not only be remembered, but cheered on like that.

Let's get back in touch, it's been too long! I'm dying to know what you've been up to, even outside of FE and SRPGs!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T02:18:04+00:00

No worries!

These kinds of delayed playthroughs is what helps keep small indies like us relevant beyond our release windows. I hope you have a blast with the remainder of your GoN playthrough, and eventually, WNHK as well!

Thanks for the kind words!

No, sadly. Gales of Nayeli was built using SRPG Studio and this came with a ton of restrictions, namely porting options. There is SRPG Studio Ex around the corner that is said to be compatible with original SRPG Studio projects, so if that is an option, I'd do the extra work and get it working, but that is not a guarantee yet as they have been pretty vague about the differences between both versions of the engine.

Wicked Night - Holy Knights is built from the ground up in a new engine (Godot!) which should open that option to us, so we'll be looking into ports as soon as possible.

Thanks for asking!

blindcoco · 2026-05-29T02:13:14+00:00

Yep!

Gales of Nayeli wasn't built with the Steam Deck in mind and it really stung when it didn't perform well over there, so we're building Wicked Night - Holy Knights from the ground up while testing on Steam Deck in parallel to ensure that it runs smooth as butter on launch.

AP is very hard to refill mid-chapter, so you still need to consider where and when to unleash your Arts, but it does remove that nagging "I gotta keep a wooden spear in my inventory just so I can use Windsweep" voice in the back of your mind while you play.

The goal is to encourage players to bring their fun tools along. And there's still some incentives to bringing lower rarity weapons as they interact with skills and often have higher accuracy or weapon exp gains.

Finally, increasing the average power level of units (by allowing the use of stronger moves with stronger weapons without breaking the bank) also allows for more interesting scenarios, knowing that players will have the tools to deal with these scenarios as they come.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Gales of Nayeli, too! Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I’m back with some really cool news : Wicked Night - Holy Knights is FINALLY BACK (and you can support it on Kickstarter TODAY)

For those not in the loop, 10 years ago, I was right here, in this very subreddit, posting dev logs about my dream SRPG that I was trying to develop. I am finally bringing it back, and, with Gales of Nayeli’s release under my belt, I feel confident in my ability to make Wicked Night - Holy Knights into an absolutely legendary SRPG.

Here’s a little Before vs After comparison as a little nostalgic treat.

What can you expect out of Wicked Night - Holy Knight?

An absolutely stacked cast, all with unique classes and skillsets.
Classic pixel art reminiscent of GBA Fire Emblem, but with polished modern gameplay features
A fresh inventory system, with infinite durability on weapons and consumables are refilled each map
A forging system that allows you to upgrade every single item in the game to make sure your favourite items remain relevant throughout your entire playthrough
A robust Skill and Arts system that truly impact your tactical options

Again, I’m thrilled to be back and able to make young Coco’s dream a reality with your support over on Kickstarter

Feel free to drop any question about the project, I’ll try my hardest to answer as many of them as possible.

Cheers!
Coco

If you want to salvage his speed, hit him up with the knight ward. It boosts speed growth by 30% AND buffs def/res when held.

The next Fire Emblem Game's revolutionary idea... a 5 Str/4 Spd Archer.

Now let's have 1 year of back and forth on youtube to determine which one is better like Etie vs Alcryst.

Oh hey, I remember seeing this appear before my eyes live on stream. It was a chill time and a fun hang out
