Thank you so much! :) I wish you th best of luck with your translation project! :D

Welcome to the Male Idol Mod!

(Finished Version of the Male Idol Image for Concerts ^^)

My initial inspiration for this is the K-Pop mod as well as my wife.  Drawing inspiration for the boys as well as some scenarios/clothing is drawn from different J-Rock bands (and a few male K-pop bands). I'm much more versed with Visual Kei and J-Rock than I am with Japanese Idol boys (any insight would be greatly appreciated!). Further inspiration is drawn from games/manga/anime with male idols. I'm striving to try and make this as unique as I can ^^ As this is my first mod I can 10/10 say I have no clue what in the world I am doing and I'm hoping I don't somehow break things as I go so please wish me luck!

Idol Maker Male Idol Mod:

Progress:

Artwork Progress

IDOL BODIES COMPLETED: 0 / 12 

IDOL FACES COMPLETED:  0 / 12 

IDOL HAIR COMPLETED: 0 / 36 

IDOL OUTFITS COMPLETED: 0 / 24

EVENT ARTWORK COMPLETED:  1 / 13 (Some of these may or may not be changed depending on the event. Those that I feel need changed to better suit the male idols will be changed)

Edit:

Unless a way to change the name pool that the names for the Idols pull from, I will be redrawing the all Female Staff as Males because there will no longer be a Female Name Pool.  RIP my wrist lol

STAFF REDRAWS: 0/3

Dialogue Progress

ORIGINAL DIALOGUES MODIFIED: 55 / 55 (As needed)

Event Progress

ORIGINAL EVENTS MODIFIED: 13 / 13 (Once again as needed. most only recieved a few minor adjustments because I want to stay true to the original game as well s add content)

Two original events are drafted more or less. Once I've fine tuned the writing some, I'll add them in.

NEW EVENTS: 0/2

Other Progress

JSON FILES: 2/?? (I haven't counted how many x.x)

As far as originally scripted dialogue and events. Some remain largely the same, just changed to match the male gender and alter the speech pattern used a bit. Some events were not changed a whole lot primarily because I want to try my best to keep the original experience of the game largely the same but with Male Idols. At some-point down the road, I will try my best to implement several new Events and Dialogue for the male idols, I just need the creativity to due so. This being said, I usually can come up with stuff but  please, feel free to offer up ideas, all help s gladly appreciated. Sometimes I have complete writers block until something I see mentioned just strikes me with inspiration :)

However, Progress MAY BE SLOW. My college classes start back up August 12th and I use a different laptop for school than I do for gaming and drawing (so I actually do my work). While updates may take a bit in between, and I have no idea when I'll have a playable version out, I will do my best to update the progress post (this is saying that I don't forget the internet exists and continue to mindlessly type away and draw for hours/days on end and I'm sorry in advance if I just go radio silent at random) This all being said, I really look forward to trying to do this to the best of my abilities :)

(I feel like this post is a total mess atm lol)

Oo boy xD I'd probably break the code the first few times around lol.  Thank you for the advice ^6^ For now I'll create a copy of my files and changed out the female names for male ones :D

Okay :) Thank you very much!

Edit: Is there a way to change the setting to generate male names for the idols? I've gone through and expanded the male name options :) (sorry if there's an obvious answer to this, I haven't actually tried modding a game before xD)

I have a question for you, is there currently a way to change the names with the mod tool? Say instead of the game generating female names for the idols I would be able to have it generate male names?

This mod of yours has inspired me to attempt a male idol mod for this game xD

Also I am looking forward to playing your mod  😊 all of the art looks amazing!

I have to say i've just started the game this evening and i absolutely love it. The system offers so much more freedom than i usually see in otome and I love all of the characters I have interacted with so far. I definitely plan to keep my eye on this as it updated as well as keep an eye on the premium content. :) Overall this is a beautifully crafted game.
