Modding?

[Szuzu]

Hey, me and a few friends adore this game and had beaten through the main story and were planning on going through more runs. i do art on the side as a hobby and was wondering if there was any way to mod the game to replace the main characters and/or NPCs if anyone knows how shoot me a message i'd be grateful. (if i cant figure it out on my own with the help of someone i may also be willing to pay for someone to mod it for me with my drawings)

modding is doable, but isn't done much yet (only recently there are custom medals being modded into the game). The way you do this is you use the Harmony library to patch your code at runtime and this code is loaded using the BepInEx loader. For custom assets, you use unity 2018.4.12f1 to build asset bundles which you can load at runtime using your custom code.

It's involved, but it's possible and I myself did some small ones, but I am not planning to do things like add npcs at the moment and I am not really modding the game currently, but I do have some plans (like a true randomniser for example).

thank you for the info. im not planning on adding custom npcs myself. nor am i planning on changing the text. i just wanna replace the main playable characters with bug versions of our sonas inspired by this amazing game. i'll look into doing that stuff thank you again for the push in the right direction

i am able to draw but i know nothing about programming. im going to attempt to learn but if anyone sees this somehow and wants to help (or get paid) id love to make this mod a reality
