About this mod

Adds a new NPC to the game without replacing other characters.

Permissions and credits
Kevin is NOT a replacement mod but a completely new NPC. Therefore, the mod is in a really early stage and there will be bugs.
He's a chubby, somewhat strange anime-nerd with good intentions. Every tuesday, he will share his Gumdrops with you. Every saturday, he gifts you either a snail, a geode or a Miner's Treat. On his birthday, he might even gift you something special (at least according to him).

The reason why I made this NPC is because I want him to be somewhat of a trader. You gift him something he likes and he gifts you a unique item back. Right now, the only new items are his Gumdrops and the birthday gift, but I want to add more stuff, even seeds.

Bugs and problems:
The biggest problem is that I can't find a way to make him accept gifts, even though I added all values. I think it's because I can't bring him to say his Introduction Message, instead, he just puts out the regular daily text. Let's just hope that I'll find a way to fix that in the future.

Installation:
Extract the archive in your Stardew Valley folder and overwrite all files in /Content. Make sure to back up files you still need.
This mod replaces the following files:
Data/NPCDispositions.xnb
Data/NPCGiftTastes.xnb
Data/ObjectInformation.xnb
Maps/springobjects.xnb
Right now Kevin isn't compatible with mods that overwrite the same files.

After you extracted all files, open your savegame file
Here, you have to search for the entry </GameLocation><GameLocation xsi:type="Town">
Replace the entry <character /> right behind it with the following text:
