DDLC Mod Template is now available!

[therationalpi]

I'm happy to announce that the first release of the DDLC Mod Template is now live. You can download it on our git repository[github.com].

This project was started by some of us from Monika After Story[www.monikaafterstory.com] after Team Salvato released their new IP Guidelines[teamsalvato.com] which included rules for building fan games and mods using DDLC's assets. We wanted an easy way to build and package mods that were easy to install, but didn't violate the restriction on standalone games. The result was this template, and now we want to share it with the community!

This is a first release, and while there's still a lot to add, we wanted to get this functional version out to you as soon as possible to help any mod creators that might be struggling to adhere to the new rules. I hope you like it, and will look forward to any feedback you have!

Current Features

* Import save data from DDLC. This will not affect the original game.
* Build Packaging customized for DDLC mods. Distribute cross-platform mods with ease thanks to Ren'Py.
* Mod Installation instructions & guide. Run the game to get a tutorial by Monika!
* Splash screen on first load. This adheres to Team Salvato's IP Guidelines[teamsalvato.com] for creating fan mods of the game.
* Customizable! Use as a starting point for any ideas you wish to create.

Planned Features

* Longer initial tutorial, detailing all the basic files included in the template.
* Advanced tutorial with specific lessons on unique DDLC functions like "glitch" special effects.
* Advanced templates for replacing important scripts from DDLC with your own.
* More documentation, detailing the full API for DDLC and listing all assets accessible from DDLC's archives.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the template.

1. Download and install the Ren'Py SDK[www.renpy.org].
2. Download DDLCModTemplate-v0.1.0.zip from our release page[github.com].
3. Place the files in the Ren'py working directory (chosen during installation).
4. Download the DDLC files (available for free at http://ddlc.moe) & drop the .rpa files from it into the /game directory for your project.
5. Launch the project in Ren'Py. It should compile & run.
6. Navigate the Ren'Py menu & select "Build Distributions" & select "DDLC Compatible Mod." This will create a cross-platform .ZIP file with files for the mod & installation instructions. (An example can be downloaded here.)

And for any of you curious about the progress on our other project, Monika After Story, we are currently in the final phases of porting the game over to this new format. A new version should be available early next week with lots of new content and features!

Just waiting for a ending where I can live a good long life with any girl, without getting scared someone will just mess with each other personalities and force suicides

[RobDeLaMorte]

Like maybe there will be a scene where Yuri started gone yandere mode where she begin to do some twisted stuff ? Like maybe cutting and slicing her skin with the main character poem paper ? or or maybe slicing the main character skin with her knives collection, licking the blood while her heart pound even faster and faster till it explode, so that her blood can finally become one with the main character ? Ha.. ha ha.. A-am i gettting weird ?? ha.. haha.. did i just rumbling something just now ? No-no please i didnt mean to say that

But this is cool, looking forward for some cool mod :3

Like
Sayori = Hoovy
Yuri = Spy
Natsuki = Scout
Monika = Pyro
