How to create costume mods

It is super easy to build mods! See this spritesheet?


Save the PNG, open the file in an image editor, replace your assets, then save your PNG inside one of these folders (please note you need to create the Costumes folder yourself if it does not already exist):

Windows: C:/Users/(UserName)/AppData/LocalLow/InvertMouse/Clea/Costumes
Mac: ~Library/Application Support/com.invertmouse.clea/Costumes
Linux: .config/unity3d/InvertMouse/Clea/Costumes

When you launch the game, the above folders will be created for your platform. Create the Costumes folder on your own, place your spritesheet inside, then restart the game and you are all set. In game, on the costume selection screen, navigate to your costume using those left and right arrows.

Note 1: Costume mods work for the demo version, too! Clea’s folder name will contain the word demo in that case.


Please note your file must not only be a transparent PNG, but it also needs alpha channel data to be stored. Without this, your costume will appear glitchy.

For Photoshop, use this plugin:

https://www.fnordware.com/superpng/

Once this plugin is installed, you will see an option to Save As a SuperPNG. Make sure PNG Interlacing, Save Metadata, Transparency and Clean Transparent are all switched on in the prompt.


For your reference, here is a PSD with Clea’s outlines and colors separated (some are merged because of the way they were produced):

Note 1: Because of the animation meshes being used, Clea’s general shape must match the original’s. For instance, her dress, shoes and hair must retain their shapes.

Note 2: I will not be able to promote anything that breaks copyright or is sexual in nature. Outside of that, please do share your works! I would love to see and showcase your creations.

Thank you!

Hi Mitio! I'm not sure if GIMP has a similar plugin for super PNG unfortunately. If you do find one please feel free to share!

[Mitio Alchast]

Excuse me, is it possible to make a costume in GIMP, or at least is there a plugin for GIMP like Super PNG?

[InvertMouse]

MY OUTFIT WORKS WOOOOOHHHHH

[InvertMouse]

Yeah, well maybe there is a trial version you can use? Or there might be another program that supports the same feature, but I do not know of it unfortunately .

Aww man, you have to pay to use Photoshop!

Hi Dabura! Thank you for messaging in. So happy to hear you enjoyed the game !

Ah yes, the folder you are looking for should be somewhere else. It is something like ...AppData/LocalLow... as listed in the guide.

Oh! If you rock up at PAX, I will show you where in person! Haha . I will be on deck for a fair chunk of the time, so it would be great to catch up!

Hey there mate! lovely game, streamed it and popped a review on steam as promised :)

I thought I'd try to get the PAX dress working just for the hell of it so I followed the guide above.

I went into This PC D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Clea (As this is where the data is saved) and there was no costume folder.

Following the guide I made my own Costumes folder, popped in the PNG file I downloaded using the link in game (After unzipping the file ofcourse) and then loaded up the game but it didn't seem to pick up any new costume when I would try to start a new game and look for it.

I don't mind either way but I thought I'd ask this question here encase others too ask about this. Thanks again and best of luck at PAX, I'll see if I can stop on by
