v1.1.0 - Version 3, and probably the last

New owners, new update.

Changes:

• basically everything has been updated to use 1.0.0, which i dont recall was ever released. No community asset versions, sorry.
• the mod zip now contains source code, not compiled versions. This is so you can edit things and understand the code better than trying to decompile it or looking at the github repo.

IMPORTANT:

This mod template is not going to be frequently updated. We have other priorities and the MAS team is insanely small nowadays. We'll fix crashes / other issues / but we will not be adding extra features for the time being.

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.

• A short example script that also serves as an introduction to the Mod Template.
• A tutorial on building your first mod, with Monika as your teacher!
• Splash screen on first load. This adheres to Team Salvato's IP Guidelines for creating fan mods of the game.
• Advanced templates for important DDLC scripts for more control over the game, with added comments to help make understanding their function easier.
• Community assets that are ready to be dropped right into your mod.
• Customizable! Use as a starting point for any ideas you wish to create.
