[Dev Log]
Added 2024-01-20 21:32:29 +0000 UTCI haven't done one of these in a while. Sorry for that, BTW, but there just hasn't been anything that interesting to show off.
Flurby and I have been working on a major overhaul of the game's code. Back when I added mod support, I created a system that made it possible to add up to 10 modded characters. This was sufficient at the time, and it was pretty much the best I could do given my knowledge of Python at the time. Since then, the modding community and the number of mods have grown so far beyond this system that modders have had to find clever workarounds. Between this and my own ideas that I wish to implement in the future, it became clear that an overhaul was very much needed.
Flurby came up with a clever solutionโa new system that allows for a theoretically infinite amount of modded characters to be added to the game, and this system also allows me to add the new features I'm planning without having to work around the old systems. However, there are a few caveats that comes with this.
Firstly, because of how long it takes to implement this overhaul, the next update won't add any noticeable features from the player's perspective. Secondly, it will break all saves and most mods, and it might introduce new bugs that need to be patched. But once that's done with, you'll enjoy a greatly expanded moddability and can expect future updates to flesh out and expand character interactions, as well as other gameplay elements.
I hope you'll have some patience with us as we work to implement this overhaul. I can guarantee you that it'll be worth it. :3

2024-01-30 10:10:07 +0000 UTCwhere can you find mods at for it?

2024-01-29 22:22:51 +0000 UTCI've noticed some mod scripts have incorrect character IDs in them. I'm wondering if the new framework would define characters differently than "custom#" or "c#?" I assume so, since modders wouldn't be sharing 10 slots.

2024-01-23 08:58:08 +0000 UTCI meant hundreds of people lol but yeah.
Flurby
2024-01-23 08:35:20 +0000 UTCThere isn't 100 saves, only like 2-3 saves i'd like to "save". Especially when my save have been with me for 1-2 years already.

2024-01-23 07:43:41 +0000 UTCIn cases like this, provided there arenโt hundreds, I could look into repairing some of these saves on a case by case basis down the line.

2024-01-23 07:03:20 +0000 UTCI love hearing about improved underlying tech, and I like the idea of supporting increasingly complex and numerous modded characters. Excited to see whatever comes next.

2024-01-23 01:15:27 +0000 UTCkinda sad, i will lose my save that i built for 1-2 years already. But hopefully i can do better in new save.

2024-01-22 23:22:46 +0000 UTCSuper worth! Every house needs a good foundation, and something as complex as a video game is no different. Shout-out to Flurby, and thanks to you both for the hard work and dedication!

2024-01-21 03:15:43 +0000 UTCI hate complaining about issues with a game that is produced by independent artists. You don't have a full studio staff and budget to produce this wonderful content. My only complaint was the character slots and you just stated you wish to fix that. Take this post as a compliment. You've done great work, so far and please keep it up. Though the worst thing you can do is get burnt out. Don't work too hard and take some time off. You deserve it. Everyone here worth their salt will gladly be patient as you rework the system.

2024-01-21 02:59:59 +0000 UTCWelp, i started a new save anyway, a fresh one couldn't hurt. Cant wait to see the delicious mayhem you got cooking for us

2024-01-21 02:03:23 +0000 UTCThat's 100% worth it, don't worry about not putting as much up here. If you, Flurby and anyone else helping you need more time to yourselves or to work on stuff, we're still going to be here, we've got your backs. Take care of yourselves first. :)
