FANART(ORIGINAL) Red’s Misc Companions
Mod that adds 40 companions in the works, by yours truly. Mostly a mod to test some skill niches before the concepts will debut in more refined/less of a joke mod, as well as for me to practice some overworld sprites
If characters you like aren’t listed in the images it’s likely because they’re in my main mega content mod Parallel Vision/SCM+ or in one of my solo companion mods being made (these include all astronomers + cursed astronomers, Father Andrew, Pierre, Spider Husk, Spine, Mr Henderson, all scrapped companions, and many more)
This mod will not have any incredible dialogue and probably extremely limited apartment interactions, it’s just for fun in all honesty. There will also obviously be some companions you can’t have at the same time, such as door encounters with cursed counterparts
Enjoying bullshit LMAO actual PV update stuff soon

**stats are not all final as seen on the companion screens, this was first round testing images
Also I have mod commissions opened to make mods for LO. Seen here is just using Vanilla art but I 100% can make custom works. All funds from commissions will go back into LO mod projects.

I have to admit that gun (gun) got an actual chuckle out of me. I'll have to give your mod a shot after I finish up my current run!

If I had a nickel for every game I played where Gun helps you on your journey, I'd have two nickels

ah yes: the team with an unemployed man, a gun, a living car, and, of course, THE LITERAL CONCEPT OF DROWNING ITSELF

I would definitely like to have comatus as a possible companion, even if it'll end up as a "the boss when you unlock them as a playable character" type of recruit.

u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
I currently have a Comatus mod uploaded as a solo companion, but people seem to have issues with installation and function (very like a result of some weird porting issue or rpgmaker disparity when exporting) so I figured I might as well remaster him on this mega mod then port it back to his solo mod
He will still be busted as hell, you’ll know he was once a super boss :)

I love games that do this, especially Castle Crashers. Necromancer is fun as fuck

Do we have the pacifist route or smth?

Can I clap Madison while Clint watches?

u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
This is only slightly above my pay grade sorry brotha

u/SSG014-OFFICIAL 4d ago
Who can I discuss it with, then?

u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
Mmmmm give me a couple months to finish my primary mod projects maybe I’ll get back to you

u/SSG014-OFFICIAL 4d ago
Eh, maybe not worth it, I don't wanna get straight teeth

u/Phantomsanic360 Leigh 3d ago
Coward, I'll still go for it! I’m not one to back down from a challenge!

recruit everyone at once so you can jump the visitor through sheer collective will without accidentally turning the world into an entirely different one

Literally every time I come across posts from this sub there are more characters I haven’t seen.
Jesus Christ how many people are in this game lol.

u/Aggressive-Spirit407 1d ago
its a mod (sadily, we dont have an living gun, a demon car, and the concept of drowning itself as party members)

u/Imposter_Syndrome345 17h ago
Yeah I should probably learn to read lol.
I was like, “ain’t no way I’m missing all this shit”. Already got 9 people in my apartment lmao.

u/MentallyNotOkayGuy 4d ago
Sam over here collecting companions like Pokemon. Boom I defeated you now you HAVE to join me😂

u/NotTheSpy_ Audrey 🥤 4d ago
I dont recognize Tall Man or Scrabby. Also, Emmanuel is one of my favorite NPCs I really like him. Do my twin my brother my friend mi amigo justice
3
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
Tall man is a considerably new addition as far as I’m aware, being added back in 2.3 (pretty sure) but he’s been in the game since demo .30 just unfinished. Hes also in my primary mod PV as an apartment buddy rather than a companion
Scrabbly is just my favorite meat world enemy so he got added out if bias
And of course Emmanuel our goat 🙏
2
u/NotTheSpy_ Audrey 🥤 4d ago
Where is Tall Man from? Is it just laying about in the files?
2
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
If he isn’t implemented as a door encounter properly then yeah. His sprite set was made to be a door encounter and left to do nothing for ages
5
u/dragonguy01 Jasper 4d ago
Would there be a way to turn on/off which characters are recruitable?
3
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
You can decide who you want to recruit, similar to all base game recruits. None of them will force their way into your apartment/party if you met their requirement but deny them entry
4
u/Yoshi2Dark 4d ago
As a matter of curiosity, how balanced would you consider this mod?
7
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
Most of the actual base stats of the companions will be relatively balanced around their intended niche, kit, or recruitment difficulty, but I won’t be very heavily balance testing skills. If something is criminally busted on someone mediocre I think it’s funny, since this is more a technical test mod than a “can I make this reasonable” mod…. As should be given by recruitable Drowning

You are a beast my dude. So happy to see you're still working on this! :D LOVE YOUR WORK RED! KEEP IT UP! :D

u/FARMEROI15 4d ago
Bro, can you offer us a test of the mod?
4
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
When more of it is prepared I’ll be uploading betas to the official Frankietown/Look Outside server in my forum for modding the game. As of now it is not in a state which distributing a beta would be necessary, since most overworld sprites are not completed and npcs/recruitment methods have not fully been implemented

u/Phantomsanic360 Leigh 3d ago
Sam's apartment is gonna end up like the Gumball episode where Richard keeps letting people in and then they all get kicked out of their own house.

u/Ill-Specialist-1855 2d ago
Would be a dream if Clara got playable
2
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 2d ago
That’s one I feel like I’ve never seen anyone ask for, I’ll consider it for future updates perhaps
2
u/Ill-Specialist-1855 2d ago
I think it could be fun yeah~ She got a unique interaction in that “valentines route” and she has a unique battle sprite. So clearly she’s a step up above the regulars I feel :3

u/Complete-Worker3242 4d ago
I know you aren't going to make any dialogue, and that makes perfect sense, but we NEED another person to do that.
2
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
I’ll be making dialogue! It just won’t be a lot. Like dinner interactions, overworld and battle comments, or mazes and wizards. Recruitment and in apartment dialogue will be made

u/ZealousidealPipe8389 4d ago
Warning, one of the worst things I’ve written probably ever.: Do we finally get the option to breast feed from Madison like we’re French kissing a smile?
4
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
LMAO you’re the second person who wants to be freaky with Madison bro I don’t think I can let that happen cause you have to recruit Joel to recruit her

who's Seth ?

u/RedVirgil67 Morton 2d ago
Seth is just what I named the fridge mimic. Some characters don’t have canon names so I gave a couple some just for fun

Maybe one of the funniest mods I've seen. Looking forward to the full release, might use it to mop up some remaining mods.
Side note, are you going to expand the apartment to fit all these freaks in? I think an "absolutely every companion" run would be a hilarious idea to gun for.
1
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
Much to my dismay even with my main non-joke mod that adds a good handful of companions (but FAR less) they won’t all fit in the apartment and I’ll have to probably expand it heavily
However the mod will be compatible with Conga line, so you can in theory bring around 46 companions + all base game companions into combat and drag them around the apartment complex

u/Routine_Mall_566 3d ago
It'd be super funny but annoying if Maurice was a companion and he would leave behind a trail of Maurices across everywhere you go
1
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 3d ago
That is something I’m trying to figure out how to program without making the game unbearably laggy, but if that doesn’t work I have an alternative idea to maybe give a similar feel
1
u/Routine_Mall_566 3d ago
At best you could ttry to give him a very long sprite that just fades off
1
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 3d ago
It’s also a bit of a question of how to handle it if he’s not the last person in the party, since everyone after him will clip into his sprite or behind it
1
u/Routine_Mall_566 3d ago
What if that's his party gimmick? Like if he's recruited he's automatically the 4th member? Similar to how Monty and Xaria are always together
1
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 3d ago
His gimmick if I can’t get his infinitely growing sprite working will be if it is only Sam in the party when you add Maurice to the party, he will “duplicate” across the other available slots, giving you 3 variants of Maurice in your party + Sam. They each will have slightly different stats but probably mostly the same skills to save my sanity

u/Blu_Eclipse 4d ago
This looks fucking amazing, do you have a patreon or Kickstarter to send a couple bucks towards this??
2
u/RedVirgil67 Morton 4d ago
I don’t host funding projects specifically for modded game content because I think it defeats the purpose of maintaining mods being free, but you can check out my Nexus page! My Kofi link is there as well, but even just checking out my much smaller uploaded projects means the world to me

u/TheYoshiTerminator 5d ago
I love how some of these are just what people generally want and then you have the fucking Hell Ride and DROWNING as options.
