Will I be able to participate in the development of the mod? But otherwise, I’m fully behind you! I wouldn’t hesitate to make videos about this mod once there’s an Android version... Also, you could create a video on how to download the mod for PC; it seems pretty complex, especially for those who aren't used to PCs (like me...).
Thanks! Help is welcome. Right now the most useful thing is exactly what the other comment did: use it, break it, and tell me what went wrong with a picture. Ideas for what to add next count too, that's how I pick what to work on.
Android is the thing I most want to do after the current work, but I'm not going to give you a date and then miss it.
And you're right about the install video, it's on my list. In the meantime, if you get stuck at any step, tell me which step and I'll walk you through it.
No Discord server, but my username is yurnior. (with the dot at the end). My own chat site is https://yuniorschillzone.xyz and there's a place for GL2MP in there.
On assets:
Clothes, yes. You can never have too many in a game like this. Tell me what you can actually make - clothes, hair, accessories, wings, props? - and how you draw: on paper, in something like Krita or Photoshop, or vector, like Illustrator or Inkscape. If you've already made something, show me one, that tells me more than a description does.
Two things up front so you don't waste your time.
It has to be your own drawing. Not traced over Gacha art, not edited from someone else's sprites, nothing taken out of another game. If it isn't yours I can't put it in, and I'd rather tell you that now than after you've spent a week on it.
And the mod can't add new clothes to the game yet. Making that possible is the big thing I'm building next. So right now you'd be drawing for something that doesn't exist yet. I think it's worth it, but you should know before you start and not after.
Now the install, one step at a time. Tell me which number goes wrong and what you see on screen:
1. Install Gacha Life 2 for Windows (the free one from Lunime), open it once so it makes a save, then close it.
2. Download my zip, right-click it and choose "Extract All". You get a folder called GL2MP.
3. Open that folder and double-click GL2MP.exe. Windows will say "Windows protected your PC" - click "More info", then "Run anyway". That happens because the file isn't signed, not because anything is wrong.
4. The first time it opens it asks where your game is. Go to your Gacha Life 2 folder: GachaLife2 > GL2.app > GL2.swf, and pick GL2.swf.
That's all of it. The game opens with the mod on top.
Don't worry, I've been in this community since 2023; I know not to trace assets all mine are original, or I just use references. Thanks for the mini download guide! Is that your Discord username? If so, I sent you all my assets so you could see my art. I totally understand, and yes, if you give me permission, I'd love to work on this mod, even though adding my assets might take a while.
Then I haven't seen any of it - that account is gone. Send it to yurnior. (with the dot) and I'll look at it properly.
And yes, I'd be glad to have you. Since 2023 and drawing your own is exactly what I need.
Two things so neither of us wastes time. Start with one piece instead of twenty: one top or one dress, PNG with a transparent background, and tell me what you drew it in. I'll put it next to the game's own clothes and check the size and the line weight, and then I can tell you what to aim for before you make a whole set.
And be aware the mod can't load custom clothes yet - that's the part I have to build. So the waiting is on my side too, not just yours. Whatever goes in, you're credited on the page.
