Are there any plans to add the ability to use custom assets or will there only be support official ones?

IDK about Reddit, but they also address this in the pinned comment of the YouTube video at the top of the page. Basically, they want to have custom characters eventually, but it won't be at launch. Other custom files, like backgrounds and items, should be available before custom characters are, though.
