Adding your own vtubers/mods.

[Deathraven13]

What's the take on modding your own favorite characters/Vtoubers:

- Is it allowed ?

- Auto-banned from leaderboard ? (It should)

- If allowed are there plans to ease up on doing so ?

you can mod the game but it's not offically endorsed and devs are not responsible for what happens to the save file if it breaks

I've never seen a company/dev endorse a save file being damaged due to mods so I'm not surprised by that, I mean the save does not break due to their fault thus that wasn't in my question.

If I get it right from you nothing will be made to ease up making mods but devs won't try to ban people using mods and such, is that correct ? (I mean mods that won't affect the leaderboard, hence why If mods are allowed I'd like an option to make it clear someone is using a modded character that may be OP, for the meme).

That depend on what mod OP thinking. Usually people think of mod that usually harmless are replace image/animation of a character look better by making it high pixel images to look more like actual Vtuber model. Other harmless mods will be just changing sound of a moves to make it sound like Vtuber using their voice.

If were a mod that add new character/skills/attack/item and can be better then office default in the game. That kind of mod should be forbidden from ranking for sure. I do play some game that mod like that in minecraft/don't stave together/dragon ball xenoverse 2(one can be annoying if you play against mod user).

...What do you mean "allowed"? The police aren't going to break your door down. You're free to do whatever you want with mods.

the problem/caveat with it is the cost of game's stability, yeah they won't do that, but no blaming them for your doings, YYC-compiled games are pretty difficult to mod, let alone make the mods stable in the first place.

Not sure If i can even do it in the first place but I would add one of my prefered Vtuber with new attacks, and maybe even add new ennemies along a new map in her theme, It could be just reskins to be faster like If I take Kobo animations and just "repaint" on her and modify her.

If I did I'd like the character to be locked from leaderboard since it wouldn't be fair, even If in the end she may be weaker but she could also be stronger.

Well one thing that could be done is doing the mod on one specific version and have that copy of the game offline in order to never break the mode, but It's not optimal, it would be better to wait for the game to be fully done but that doesn't matter for the devs anyway it's modders problems, they have enough work to do on the base game.

I think you should use your mods on itch.io version, because Steam cloud saving may mess up every update

Oh, alright i'll look into that thanks.

I would really like to see a handful of male vtubers. Even just one or two would be nice.

As far as accommodations for modding go I think if the Dev added a checksum to key files that may work as a way to ensure fairness in highscores. It would increase load time at the start of the game, but it's such a small game I don't think it'd be much. If the checksum or hash do not match the current version of the game then it notifies you that your game has been modified and that score submissions are disabled.

The dev caveat is essentially that they will keep developing without any regard for the mods. So if something breaks you basically have to revert to vanilla. It also makes no promises that the save file won't be corrupted by it.

So unless someone takes it on them to create a safe modding tool that persists between versions, it would require a very dedicated developer to make a mod for that. It's been done before (Pippa had a mod). It's not compatible anymore.
