Update on the Persona mod: I have the first subway's map done. It took me a while to figure out how to use Tiled and Aseprite. By far the toughest part was the stairs. I had to forgo any 3D effect in favor of a top-down view. To give the illusion of depth, I drew shadowing on the stairs and railings of said stairs. In the P5 game area, there are about 57 visitable locations outside of Palaces. If it took me two days to get one map down, I will likely have at least the town done on schedule. Playtesting will likely take another few days, and then I will move to the characters. Based on the scale of the Palaces and Mementos, I may have to add those after the deadline. Please do not expect stairs to look polished in the early versions of the mod. The subways will also be somewhat low quality due to my inexperience in map making. I will do my best to make everything else look polished, but stairs and internal walls are currently the bane of my existence. Edit 1: Certainly having a time replicating Yongen-Jaya. It's quite detailed, assessing what I can and can't replicate is slow and difficult. The clutter around the neighborhood would make movement difficult, so Yongen will be cleaner. Edit 2: After taking a break (for college exams) I am back at it. I have decided to remove the Movie Theater in Yongen in favor of making the Clinic more accessible. The Supermarket may have to be moved to the right of Sojiro's house. The map layouts will NOT be 1:1 with the game due to the visual limitations of Stardew. The sides of buildings are usually invisible in Stardew (and so are doors that face "up" as opposed to Stardew's normal doors which face "down"), you see. Edit 3: Yongen's map will be significantly grassier. It will feel more like Stardew and less like Persona. This is both fortunate and unfortunate, in my eyes.
Hello, all! This is my first mod, so any bug reports would be highly appreciated! Edit: Made minor changes. Currently working on a Gus To Sojiro Sakura mod.
I am nearly done with the Sojiro dialogue and have yet to start on the images. However, it seems the Yusuke and Sojiro mods will throw errors when used together due to having pretty much the same layout. It conflicts from the first line, no matter what I change. So it will be one or the other. I am currently trying to find a workaround.
