Skindex - Initial Patreon Release!
Added 2024-05-26 22:21:48 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Skindex is getting its first internal preview!
Release Schedule
Unlike with TiS, I want to take a different approach when doing the internal versions for Skindex. Instead of releasing all at once, I want to split the release into smaller chunks that will contain less bugs and allow me to deliver higher quality content. By doing so, I get extra time to focus on each character and make sure that what I'm adding works right off the bat.
So with that being said, here's what you can expect:
Starting from today, every week a new version of Skindex will be published. Each week a new character will be polished and added to it, with this week's being The Ironclad. The entire release timeline will be posted with June's update plan on Friday!
Ironclad has received 5 new character skins you can now earn and play in single-player, all with their own cool and unique achievements!
Each character will also receive minor improvements to their existing skins - Ironclad's Executioner Axe now actually being an axe and so on. These won't be massive changes, but rather QOL changes for skins that were made a long time ago.
Notes
As of right now, the preview Skindex version is not compatible with Together in Spire. This is because Together in Spire uses a custom version of pre-packaged Skindex. That means that as of right now, Skindex should be launched separately from TiS. However, compatibility with those will be established with the first v7 preview for TiS, more on which will be posted in the June plan announcement!
Skindex has a mod dependency called dLib that will automatically come with the mod in the Patreon post and on Steam, and both need to be enabled to play. dLib will be released as a standalone mod upon the Skindex public release. This is required as dLib is now the foundation for many of the common core actions for my mods, such as custom UI, save manipulation, and more.
Due to potential legal issues, none of the Patreon Exclusive skins will be moved to Skindex. This would be possible only if the skins were no longer exclusive to patreon and had an alternative way of being obtained. That means that if you want to use those skins in singleplayer, you'll still have to launch with TiS. If you've got any opinions on this topic, please feel free to either post here or in the discord!
Please report any bugs you might notice in the discord, as releasing a new mod is always going to introduce new bugs :)
