Main Menu Theme Option?

[Azayzle]

So having unlocked the epilogue the menu is changed with a new theme, and it's nice and all but I want to change it beck just because I enjoy the fountain and the more somber theme. Anyone know if there's a way to change it back without mods or wiping progress?

Its in the settings I'm pretty sure.

Stared at the settings for a half hour, nothing looks like it does that.

Download red pen mod and it will appear in the settings

I mean tempting but the person who programmed it did alter E1 and there's some translation bugs that seem yet to have been worked out.

Alter E1 in what way?

Red Pen Author doesn't elaborate how but I don't wanna experience it myself to see how. I know it's silly but I wanna keep the version of the game with as little tampering as possible.
though I suppose I could suck it up and give it a try, it does feature alot of benefits....

Doubt it is any worse than base game E1, that ending needs to get fixed.

Im sure you have a valid reason for that take, from a critical perspective I felt it was alright, it did the job of breaking me adequately.

Author clearly states that he tried his best to keep the meaning of the sentences he edited. It's just a grammar + sprite edit, E1 is still E1.

Inco turning into his E1 self did not feel natural, it needed more time for it to work. Also it really doesn't fit him at all. Not surprising since last I heard it was a leftover from old Inco, the one before the rewrites. Parts of ending 1 is worth saving but it really needs a restructuring.

I'm also fairly sure I heard somewhere that the devs didn't really like how ending 1 ended up.

Mister Dude linked this in another thread. Somewhere in it they talk about the original writing team and how the script required massive rewrites. But some original stuff still made it's way in. I think Ending 1 was one of them.

if you want change the background:
1. Go to folder where you have the game
2. Go to the folder game
3. Open with notepad++ file guy.rpy
4. Find line 111 and change value from False to True
5. Find line 112 and change value from True to False

For the background music:
1. In the same folder open with notepad++ file script.rpy
2. Find line 46 and paste this: $ renpy.music.play("<loop 2.580167>" + DEFAULT_MUSIC_FILEPATH + "mus_titlescreen" + DEFAULT_MUSIC_EXTENSION, channel="music", loop=True)

Remember to save changes!
