N7 has been shelved and I have no desire to support it anymore. For the amount of work required to make things work, there just wasn't the motivation to make it for a dozen people.

Sounds cool, but then I got to the part that says how Fearsome, Unforgiving, and Brutal it is compared to the Hardcore mod.... and ran away crying and screaming.
 
It's really only for people who know how to kick the game's ass. I mean, know how the mechanics work, willing to experiment with element materia and stuff.
It's HARD.
The Hardcore mod was barely any challenge to me but maybe that's because I grew up with stuff like battletoads
my Brother is significantly less used to RPGs and still manages to get through
He's past the Materia Keeper now and sitting at 28 game overs.
 
I would like to test this. I feel a major butt kicking in store.
 
Overhauled the Shinra mansion safe / combination AGAIN
Overhauled the snowfield / gaia climbing / whirlwind maze
Changed details on Vincents limits
Changed the rate at which Vincent learns limits
Fixed two model bugs
 
So there is the same difference between normal and harcore, compared to hardcore and this, approximatively ?  oO
 
I imagine that this is like hardcore, except you are weaker, enemies are more powerful, items are harder to attain, materia are harder to level,
spells do less damage, exp is harder to earn, etc.  If you can beat Regular VII in 40 hours, hardcore in 70 hours, this will probably take 100+
and you will probably see the game over screen much more often.  You will have to perfect your technique instead of relying on being more
powerful and better equipped than the enemies.  You see a Mechanical Enemy?  You better make sure that every member of your party has
a way of maximizing their ability to do lightning damage without sacrificing your ability to keep your team alive.  Remember the first time you
you played through VII (assuming you hadn't played many RPGs beforehand)?  Probably going to be more difficult than that.  Remember getting
stuck at Jenova Birth and the Materia Keeper and not knowing how the hell to move forward?  Its probably like that for every boss.
 
It is mostly like hardcore in that it is based on the hardcore flevel + scene.bin, except I do my own edits on both files on top.
So this includes the additional battles from hardcore but even harder.
You're not actually weaker I'd say. The enemies are so much stronger than making you weaker than before would make the game physically impossible.
The whole weak/strong balance is built from ground up on my own stat growth curves and monsters. You're more powerful than before,
but the enemies are MUCH more powerful than before.
Materia are much, much harder to level, exp is still increased over hardcore but while you still needed the same amount of exp for lvl 99 in hardcore
( vanilla: 2,1 billion )
( hardcore: 2,x billion )
( Nightmare: between 6 and 8 billion )
you need a lot more exp for levels now.

and old logic no longer applies. Mechanical enemies weak to lightning? Ha, not all of them! Use Sense ( Scan ) to find out. A lot of enemies have been
proofed against elements.

and Jenova really will make you get stuck.
 
Is ot possible to test a little ?
When approximatively do you plan to release this 'looks interesting' modd ?  :)
 
The first public beta release will be when I'm done with testing CD1. I'm currently up to the key stone event.
If you're interested in beta testing, that means to give me periodic feedback on your playthrough, send me a PM
 
Added various changes to flevel script
Includes: Reactor 5, Various Wall Markt fields, shinra HQ 61 and 66, gold saucer battle square, wutai, mythril mines

Been having a blast playing the Hardcore mod. Would LOVE to help test your Nightmare 7 mod.
 
it's currently undergoing heavy reconstruction. I'll close beta tests for now, sorry.
I'll pm you the latest version ( and the needed OST ) so you can test that but a lot of stuff will change due to cloudiars awesome work

1/3 ( at the church backroom now ) done translating and converting OVA demo ( demo ends when you leave Midgar )
Created new stat effects for materia
Created new system of finding hidden system. If you collect them all, there will be a mega reward at the end of the game.
