Some things regarding the latest updates:

The Christmas DLC appears as options to choose once I put them into the mannequin folder (and this is the brand new updated version), but they don't appear on any of my characters or new ones.

This set of bangs keeps having this weird problem where it will turn into this floofy blob. I have to keep changing things around for it to turn back to normal. It doesn't seem to just be an in-program bug since even exporting it has it looking like that.

Also, this is less a bug and more a comment, but I can't help but feel like there really is something off now with how advanced coloring works in the latest version?

Here's what I mean: These are the same character, with the same hair settings (as far as colors), but it just.. kind of looks, well, icky in the new version?

Obviously things will change from version to version, but it feels like something got thrown out of whack with how it distributes the colors, if that makes sense? I dunno.

In any case, thank you very much for the continuous updates- Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year as well!

Hello. Just wanted to confirm, did you downloaded the DLC test manually or are you using the itch.io desktop app? We've shared the easiest method for installing it if you're using the itch.io desktop app to install everything (both the main app and also the DLC), but not manual install.

If you're using manual install (via ZIP file download), then you have to create a a specific folder to store all the downloadable content (say C:\Mannequin-DLC for example) and then put the extracted DLC folder there. Afterwards, you'll have to add the folder that you've created before in the 'Custom Library Locations' section in the 'Preferences' tab. Putting the DLC folder into Mannequin's installation folder is not supposed to be the right way.

As for the second feedback, yes, we are aware about that, and that's one of the reasons that prompted us to add the 'Sample Character' feature in the homescreen. As more and more sample characters created, we can evaluate various color configurations, from auto to advanced color modes. We're currently working with skin colors first, and it will be available soon in the nightly build alongside more sample characters to show off better coloring with darker skin variations. We hope to introduce similar fixes to hair colors as soon as possible after that.

As always, thank you for your continued feedback and support, Happy Holidays, and have a great New Year!

I tried downloading the Christmas DLC, but I feel like I missed something because when I try to open the app through itch, it just opens the DLC folder and never the app itself.

Hello. When opening via the itch.io app, make sure to open it via the 'Library' menu:

The clicking the 'Launch' button in the lower right corner. This menu will show up:

Then you can launch by clicking the Nightly option. Alternatively, you can click the gear icon:

Then click the 'Manage' button, and click 'Open folder in Explorer' afterwards. From there, you can find Mannequin.exe and create shortcut for it on the Desktop, or just launch directly by double-clicking the executable.

The DLC is only usable with the Nightly builds for now as it's a new feature; you can find it at the top of the library window:

Let us know if there's any other problem!
