modding

there will be a workshop page for mods and a no Janitor mod ?

[Sirlion]

... why no Janitor? What will you do in a 3 hour game without the main threat?

[archita]

a no janitor mod is good to unlock every hidden items and explore whole building in relax and, why not, a more ghost focused mod or a mod that can change texture and make sunlight looking also.

Lol. No janitor and sunny weather. The perfect horror experience.

I'd like somebody to mod back the laughing tree from the mobile version. Possibly an option to play with the old models from the original.

[archita]

I played old windows PC edition and mobile edition and I think the first PC edition janitors were more fair and fun. The mobile edition janitors seems teleported and more terminators than humans...

I hope that the prequel Swan Song will be more focused on ghosts.

however mods can gives more content and replayability.

You allegedly won't be able to run in Swan Song, so I can't imagine there would be a janitor at all.

[Sirlion]

Well it is made in Unity and I saw some models already exported so it is not impossible. But it's too niche of a game to attract modders I think.

OMG I hope there will be one, or at least another stalker... no way they're making a walking simulator please no

[archita]

why not a mod based on old multiplayer Oh! Jaemi with retextured school maps ? or a sort of otome game style mod with daylight and a bunch of dialog texts ? the modding can allows a bit of new ideas if engine is good to mod.

From what I know, it's going to be a gimmicky VR thing, so I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. The no running is so that people don't get sick in VR.

I hope a PC version of Swang Song ( maybe if VR edition will have enough success )

Janitor isn't horror. Janitor is frustration. Horror here comes from sounds, ghost stories and ghost themselves. Would love to see no janitor or invisibility to be honest...

I feel that the janitor is scary when first introduced in the game. Also the new whistle noise from the janitor in the New Building is a nice touch. So when he stops when he is whistling and there is silence, you know he has heard something and is coming your way. He is not annoying to me because I played the original and found out all of the tricks.

If you open a door near him or turn on the lights near him he will immediately run to the spot where he heard the sound or light turn on. There is even a glitch in this game where the janitor can hear the lights turn on or a door open or shut when he is on the second floor while you are on the first floor. But that happened in the original too, so I don't know if that was done on purpose as a homage to the original.

But yeah, the only time the janitor is annoying is when he camps around where you have to be and doesn't leave and start his patrols. Sometimes there is a glitch where he keeps going back and forth between a hallway and a doorway. This usually happens when he turns around before he goes through a door. This might have to be patched in the future.

Hilariously, I'd like a "Be the Janitor" mod. Hunt down those ruffian students messing up my clean floors.

a good idea is a multiplayer mode, janitors players against student players in limited time game.
