Hello there! One, I want to thank you for making this tool, it's very helpful! Even I can figure most things out. And two, I am looking to use this to make a rather large mod. I can write and draw, but am absolutely terrible at coding. Thankfully, your tool seems pretty accessible, once you get the hang of it. If it's alright, I'd like to ask some questions.
1: How exactly do you add custom bust sprites and backgrounds?
2: Is there a way to add new "characters", like accurate chibi sprites with gotcha animations? Like, some way to retexture the "Blank" character?
3: You know how in the beginning of the original game, before chapter 1 even starts, there's is a "cutscene" of sorts, explaining the story? Is there a way to mimic that?
4: Are boss fights even possible?
5: Is this still updating?
These are all that I can think of at the moment. Sorry if I'm bothering you, and thank you for actually reading this!
Edit: ive figure out how to mimic the cutscenes, by creating a new level with the player on the goal, but is there a better way?

1.How exactly do you add custom bust sprites and backgrounds?
I figured out that you add them at editor folders. Also lunch game only after you converted images through converter that lies in folder with same name, otherwise game wont read files properly and won't lunch level.(But as i tried to put custom bust's, converter broke my image totally, idk why)



2.I think you can only replace old ones, since there's no custom chibi sprites folder. OOOR you can put chibi sprites into folder with objects(since sprite of Beelzebub lies there), but idk if it will be animated
3-4. I cant answer, sorry

5. I dont think so, since developer didn't answered on recent topics



And hey, maybe we could bond together to make some mod? I would love to help:D and even if mod tool thing wont work out, i'm planning to learn unity, so we'll think something out. How bout that?
