I've found out how to inject facepaint into the tomodachi life game.
You need an emulator or a hacked switch.
These are the designs: https://mega.nz/folder/UxFV3ZhK#U3dEby4yiVkrRNGI-Ki5kQ
The method is described here: https://gamebanana.com/tools/22280. I've cleaned up the python script that the author wrote to include the actual zstd compression and decompression here. (needs python 3.14 because it's using the zstd compression and decompression from the python standard library).
You need ryubing canary 1.3.265 to avoid the emulator crashing on boot (and obviously the right prod keys) to run the title.
Right click the game and open the save folder
Inside the folder you will see the Ugc folder
You paste the UgcFacePaintxxx.canvas.zs into the script directory
And run the convert_canvas_to_png function on the canvas. At this point you will output a png that corresponds to your mii
Screenshot your game without the facepaint and put it underneath your facepaint to draw more easily
The canvas is limited to 256 x 256 px
You can use binary brushes to make it pixelated like in the game, I've shared some brushes with stabilisation and binary here https://mega.nz/folder/l81GSIoI#JbQwuXQDeld6C7YmLgkmNA
Then export your facepaint as png and run the conversion (this time from png to canvas)
You will have this which you need to paste back into the ugc folder under the same name, just be sure to rename the file or else ryujinx won't pick it up
Click on
And you will see your changes.
Now here's the trick, there's two folders named '0' and '1' in the emulator. '0' is supposed to be the active directory and '1' is supposed to be the backup save directory. Backup the whole save directory. For some reason, the emulator won't save to '0' properly after a texture change so save the game. Close the emulator. Delete the '0' folder. (the changes should now be in folder 1).
And reload the game again and the facepaint should stick permanently.
Accidentally wound up on "hear me out cake" tiktok, and I swear, if another one of these bitches puts down an at-most-unconventionally-attractive human man, Lady Dimitrescu or Nick Wilde/Robin Hood I am going to lose my fucking mind.
Saw one where the first person they named was Disney's Aladdin and I tapped out so hard I entered a fugue state and didn't regain full consciousness for like a solid hour.
Girlies giggling and gasping because they said their 'hear me out' was Gill from Finding Nemo, like
I'm so sorry, babygirl, but that's a hot fish. I know you thought you were being so controversial, but that is one of the most fuckable cartoon fish in existence. This is weaksauce.

the pokemon teraleak is big news and even though i've only begun to scratch the surface i can tell there's an absolute ton of fun stuff to uncover in here (which I will gladly do). however. we also need to acknowledge the fact that this is a very bad thing. this isn't just some internal whistleblower throwing us a bone like we're used to. this was a malicious hack. we're only getting all this information because a game freak employee got phished. satoshi tajiri himself has come out and stated that the personal information of more than 2600 game freak employees was compromised in the attack. what happened here should not have happened and we should hope that it doesn't again, for the personal safety of those involved.
this is the biggest pokemon leak weve ever seen. holy fuck.
a gamefreak employee got phished in a dev portal. i feel really really bad for them. but at the same time so much of this is amazing. i love cut content. i love seeing the process of making stuff. so i have mixed feelings, but i’m going to set that aside.
ive been here for multiple beta leaks since the spaceworld gold demo in 2018 and the diamond and pearl beta leak somewhere after that. this is by far the most intensive leak of beta pokemon stuff ive seen.
source code and beta builds for gens 3, 4, 5, and later 6 and 7. it is MASSIVE.
there is so fucking much and you can see coverage here
edit: if you dont have twitter (elon is a shitbag i dont blame you) you can go on r/PokeLeaks
this document from junichi masuda made in 2005 is the highlight for me, the symbol used in the hgss arceus event. it seems the legendaries are like a greek pantheon of deities
but we got more
internal development and discussion. universe creation lore, character profiles (e.g. skyla is a sexy latina pilot inspired by jennifer lopez and isabella fontana), never before seen designs, seen-before designs (latiken had a fucking sprite!), concept art, gen 3 had some darker looking discarded dev art. WHAT IS THIS IT RULES
