Mmmmodding hard

#hatoful boyfriend #ok that post ab modding hatoful has literally blasted me down the modding rabbit hole #im not even that good at programming but I was just curious #anyway there are a bunch of roadblocks #1) without the source project it's pretty damn hard to mod in unity. dnSpy helps with that but #idk if it's even possible to create new scenes or anything. or even edit existing ones #it might be possible to change the sprites but if you wanted full functionality (different expressions n stuff)... it'll be difficult #i can't even decipher what's goin on with the code I'm looking at for the most part haha. video game coding is a whole different world #than what i learn at school #2) So HD version might not work... what ab the original hatoful game? #it comes with the DLC ''collector's edition'' so I do have it on my computer... #well it's written in Famous Writer which. has next to nothing on google results (at least for me) #i suspect you might be able to find something in japanese but considering this is around 10 years later it'll prolly be severely outdated #i mean modding in famous writer might not be too difficult in itself but considering that the UI is in japanese I'm guessing that #you might have to mod in japanese. :< which might not help #You could shoot an email/message to Devolver Digital to see what they have to say about modding the game. maybe i'll do that sometime haha #for lack of anything tangible you could just take all the text files in Hatoful boyfriend and recreate it in Renpy #it'll take some work bc you'd have to do some UI work and stuff but Renpy is extremely easy to use #though I anticipate that Digital Devolver and Hato Moa might not like that (remaking an entire game on a different platform may or may not #break a couple of copyright laws #(especially considering the game costs money as well hh) #that's only if you plan on distributing a hatoful boyfriend mod tho. #If you were to upload screenshots/make a video that might be fine... I think? haha. #anyway that was just my enormous ramble sorry for putting it all in the tags #mun rambles #if anyone has tips or tricks or literally anything else to say on the matter pls talk ab it #i hear next to nothing ab hatoful modding except 'it'd be cool to do' (not mad ab it or anything but it'd be nice to get some advice haha)
