Hello there,
With this new update, you can download Radiotext Demo on your computer and mod NPC's to your wish.
I had 3 goals I wanted to achieve before Radiotext Demo was fully playable on June 15 Steam Next Fest. These goals were; Secret Answers, Async Multiplayer and Mod Support. Although many times I've said to myself I can delay the mod support after the full release -for scoping concerns- it was on my mind to build the game suitable to modding even from the beginning. This update is by no means perfect. I believe there will be many bugs encountered and many troubles to be shot along the way.
If you've previously downloaded the demo from Steam, you might've realized the Dialogues folder was right next to the executable. It was available for some time, so you can check how dialogues work and perhaps modify to your wants. With the last update, I've sneakily added a Modding Guide/Example NPC in there, inside the Act2 folder. It wasn't complete enough so I didn't announce it then, but today, you can open the ExampleModNPC.dialogue as a plain txt file and read inside to create your own characters/stories inside Radiotext. When you open it as a txt file it isn't very easy to read, so I've made some attempts to make it more readable, here it is as a google doc: Modding Guide . Also there are suggestions inside the file itself as well.
> Changelog
New Content
Itch page has been changed to resemble the 3D environment inside the game
Modding Guide as ExampleModNPC
QoL Updates
Images folder next to the executable automatically picks up profile pictures when they are named as: "npcname_img"
Fixed
A save issue caused by the engine caching dialogue files
A save issue caused by a mistyped save_point on Sky
Expect one more update before June 15 (Steam Next Fest). It will be a technical, optimization/style choice for the 3D aesthetic. If you need help for the ciphers or puzzles in-game, try the Discord or Steam Radiotext Community.
Thank you,
Alp
