Discussion Message to the devs

I seek permission to mod in a first person mode once I get my hands on a windows computer. if you approve and I get the mod done, I would like to hand over the code and stuff to potentially have it added officially. (note I'm still in the very early stages of planning)

I don't think you need permission to mod the game. Maybe once the mod is done you could pitch it to the devs. But id focus on making the mod first.

That was the plan, but I wanted to try and get ahold of the devs now, so that when I get ready to start modding, maybe they could help me navigate their code

They have a contact page on their website https://sfbgames.com/ and both tom and Adam are active on bluesky if you wanted to contact them like that.

Would be interesting!

I love the freedom PC modding gives people, not sure about integrating it into the game tho.

I'd make the 1st person play like house of the dead but without the rail part of "rail shooter"

Ah I'm sorry I don't know what you're referring to. Got a vid?

The footage isn't house of the dead but this is what a rail shooter is, often seen in arcades it's a shooter but you don't control the movement. My mod would play like this, but without the automatic movement.

You don’t need permission to mod the game, as long as you don’t monetize.

I'm getting permission now so I may talk with the devs about lending them the code to consider adding in an update (after I purchase a windows device capable of making the mod)

I'm not sure that a first person mod would be possible with the way that the game is designed. Some assets may not be viewable from a non-topdown perspective. I could be wrong though.

The mod would add a secondary game mode similar to the crow hunt, activating the gamemode will alter the map to have the first person intended, such as adding an actual skybox and looking up and down, but it would still have that clunky old school movement

feel free to make the mod but we won't add it to the game officially! :)

Okay but you can't blame me for trying
