Modding?

[Aërendoodle]

Would modding this game ever be possible? I'm not a programmer, but I'm wondering if there's a chance someone would be willing to look into this?

(I fully admitting I'm asking this in the hopes that it'll be possible to mod in the PSP portraits.)

No game is safe from modding. The original visual novels for Higurashi got overtaken by mods. Even with the updated sprites on the steam version people still considered modding it to look like the PS2 game. Just recently they modded it to look like the recent PS3 game with voice acting.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if somebody is already working on a similar mod.

Considering it's a game made from RPG Maker then yes there is modding of such. You can buy RPG maker and literally make a new horror game -_-

Pretty sure only the 1996 version was made in RPG maker.

Stop spreading misinformation, come on.
The game should be moddable, how easy it is depends on lots of things.
Hopefully someone with knowledge has a look at the game and can tell us how possible things like art and voice track mods are.

Only the very first version of the game (which was free and really different from Blood Covered (PC) and BC Repeated Fear (PSP)) is made using (a very old version of) RPG Maker. And even if the Steam release was made using RPG Maker, that doesn't guarantee you can edit the files without anything other than the RPG Maker version it was made in, depending on if/how it is encrypted. I've used several RPG Maker iterations over quite a few years, so I know what I'm talking about here.

I also have no idea why you brought up making a new game - that's not what I'm after at all?

I'm actually hoping that this game will attract modders like Danganronpa and Higurashi did, though so far I haven't really seen mods discussed much here on the Corpse Party forums.

I think the first step would be figuring out how to decrypt the game to see what goes where, but I haven't seen anyone take up this endeavour yet. Do tell me if I missed something, though!

What was the point of modding Danganronpa for? Changing the pink blood to red?

Putting the original Japanese script back in, other translations, people wanting to make their own scenarios, stuff like that.

There are Japanese players who want to play the game on PC, but can't because the Japanese script is missing from the game on Steam. It's not about the voices, but about the text.

Oh I see, should have been more specific
