Have a demo peek! No spoilers for my V3 mod in here, just showing off a custom trial and counter. Lots to fix still but I've gotten too tired from setting debate text coordinates, so I'll do it all later.
I drew the Maki counter asset, and I'm real glad with how it turned out; wonder if that sentiment will last a year from now... (it sure hasn't for my other Maki drawings). I could ramble forever about the body language implied by her positioning relative to V3's other counter artworks, but who cares about that right now. Have a speedpaint gif :D
...By the way, you all know Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is, for the next 14 hours, still 80% off on Steam, right? Making it $7.99 USD? Just checking. It's a good chance to get the game in case you wanted to do something fun with it... like install a mod or two...
Oh yeah, guess I should mention what put me on hiatus ahaha — Aside from regular burnout, I was also busy working on a mod for Stardew Valley these past few months!
After playing Stardew Valley for a while, you might've gotten married and wound up having or adopting children with your spouse... in which case, you would've ended up with two kids who never grow past the toddler stage and run about the house aimlessly. Well...
Growing Valley - Child NPCs lets those funky untalkative toddlers that wander your home grow up into fully-fledged NPCs!
More details under the cut! (or you could visit the mod page for even more details ahaha)
This mod comes with six unique kids designed in appearance and personality to resemble six of the vanilla marriage candidates! There's also customizable kids to fill in for remaining situations, whether because you've married a modded spouse, or because your spouse of choice hasn't gotten a unique kid yet.
So far, Alex, Leah, Penny, Sebastian, Elliott, and Emily have gotten unique kids designed after them, but any child can be manually selected through the config to show up in place of the defaults.
Customizable kids!
Questionably dishonest antics!
Young ma'am, that's not edible (or potable)!
Aside from being goofy little buggers who want to drink dye (well only Emily's daughter would try that... right?), they'll also wander around town, chat with you, and accept gifts like any other character. Winter outfits were recently added too, so look forward to seeing them bundle up for the cold!

On a more personal note, I've been real happy to be able to return to pixel art; it's how I started out as an artist, so getting to flex exercise the skills I've developed since those early days has been a delightful opportunity!
Now I'm sick of doing it though so I need to take a hiatus from this and return from my hiatuses elsewhere ahaha
Not giving up on my dream of giving Resolute Rebellion an animated promotional video
The QR code is just a link to the mod page ahaha (I wanted a watermark and this worked just fine)
Made a Tumblr community for the mod by the way! Feel free to join, vibe, share your thoughts on the mod so far, gameplay screenshots, speculation, and the works. I'll be chilling there too while continuing to try to understand how social media works ahaha
Check out the DRV3: Resolute Rebellion community on Discord - hang out with 48 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
Discord server for the mod is live! I'll post it here for now (and soon to be everywhere else I can think of too) but feel free to share it with anyone interested
