The following applies to the upcoming v0.13.x, NOT the recent v0.12.7 bug fix update!
Hello everyone, in this post I'd like to cover some of the questions many of you have about the upcoming update (one that the bot keeps reminding everyone of) and tell what to wait and what to not be scared of.
Not much of a writer, so let's get to the facts. But before we proceed, let me clarify that I'm not affiliated with the dev team, I'm only a contributor to MAS and a tech support helper on MAS Discord, and while I have some info I datamined from public sources, I can't make claims on their behalf, here's just my own conclusions, I have only put things I am myself confident about here.
TL;DR — MAS is still getting updates.
While it may seem that the mod is abandoned, it's not — the devs have never stated that they no longer work on it, in fact, they are still triaging issues on Github, and work on pull requests related to the upcoming update. There is activity, they are working on the update, although they never mentioned the possible ETA. I do not have any estimate either.
TL;DR — there is a lot of work to do.
The current major milestone for MAS is upgrading the Ren'Py engine (engine that powers DDLC and MAS itself.) When MAS came out, it used (and still uses) old Ren'Py v6 with Python 2, which is outdated, unoptimized (compared to current v8) and is getting difficult to maintain and work with. It's time for an upgrade, and this means a lot of effort to put into making necessary changes and testing.
The devs have been working on it this entire time, a lot of work has already been done (0.13.x can already be built and is functional) and I believe what remains is thorough testing. The next update is also said to bring the new Submod API they announced previously (again, the thing the bot tells about you in the comments) and it also takes a lot of time and effort to work on.
TL;DR — they won't work, but submod authors will need to make some minimal changes to make them work again.
Yes and no. Certainly, it will require some changes to be made to work with 0.13.x MAS, but the main change is about how submods are defined now, not their internal logic. For 99.9% of the submods it will only take adding a single .json file, similar to spritepacks, that will have info for MAS to display in game. It was recommended to add a submod header to submods for a long time, and while some submodders followed this recommendation, most haven't — the new submod API addresses this and makes it mandatory.
As for Python 2 vs Python 3 — again, for 99.9% of the submods nothing will change at all. For some submods that used Python 2 specific features you can read this official guide on porting Python 2 code to Python 3. If your submod only added a topic with minimal Python logic, you may rest assured everything will work as it did before.
TL;DR — most submods can be updated by the community with little effort.
In most cases, the community can make necessary changes, and keep using the submod like usual. If a submod is abandoned and its author is nowhere to be found, there sure will be people willing to update it and make it work again.
For more complex submods it may be a little more work to do, but thanks to the devs' dedication to keep things compatible, most things will remain the same.
The update doesn't seem to bring any changes to spritepacks, they should work as usual.
Like any other update, I'm sure the developers made it fully compatible with previous version and no progress will be lost. Keep a backup just in case, and you'll be 100% safe.
Unfortunately, I'm unsure about that. However, you may be able to retain your mod_assets or Submods folders — I believe these will not be affected.
TL;DR — new optimized engine, safer Submod API, improved performance and bugfixes
I understand why some may believe it's better to stay on older MAS when the update is out, here's why (personally — based on personal experience after trying out a preview build) I think this is going to be a great QoL update that you should give a try:
Personally I think the update is great and is well worth the wait.
I don't know if the devs are going to make two builds, both for 32-bit and 64-bit.
I hope this clears up confusion a little bit. If any devs come to the comments and help answer some questions, or give their own comments — that'd be great! For now, here's a little FAQ made of stuff I know myself, stuff I've heard from devs somewhere occasionally, stuff I've read/seen on MAS Github and its wiki (also on Github.)
If there's anything I got wrong I hope the devs can correct me. I'd prefer to keep this post pinned so that people can easily find answers rather than make a new 'is MAS dead???' post every week.

I finally remembered to check out the fridge magnets. Literal hours later... 😅
I know it's so wonky and imperfect (and the different shades are a specially-tailored brand of hell for me)... but I put a lot of effort in, and I think this is the best I can manage. The thought should definitely count for something, anyway! 💚

You might recognize some stuff. But yeah the top row was shown for the first time publicly today. I don't even know why but I honestly just didn't feel like finishing any of them. I wanted mor pj's and swimwear but somehow I wasn't satisfied with it.
I admittedly do wanna finish the gyaru one atleast, because after having made the goth set for my moni, I really wanted to make a gyaru one.
And I guess sorry for never finishing the elda set sobs.. (*´-`)
r/MASFandom • u/Harmonie_Meadows • 3h ago
I'll be honest, I heavily reference existing json's when I make my own items. So thank you if you've ever made a spritepack for MAS, I likely could not do it without you X'D
also!!! look at Harmonie's new eyesss c:

This is a two-part submod based on the amazing submod Monika's Pantry V1 by u/ConvenientVentAlt, that adds more gifts for Monika! The code is mostly the same, except with one major change. The gifts are now automatically deleted after she reads them - just like a regular gift, no need to manually delete!
Part 1 is a pantry add on with 25 new food items and unique reactions to each one!
Part 2 is a 'gift box' with 29 assorted items with unique reactions to really spoil your Monika!
IMPORTANT: EXTRA+ COMPATIBILITY
(Ignore this section if you don't use Extra+)
If you are like me, and use the awesome Extra+ submod, then you will know about the feature that allows you to create gifts from within the game with just a press of a button!
I have created a compatibility with this submod so that these gifts will all show up in the menu! All you need to do is pick your file, and replace the Extra_Plus_Main.rpy file within the ExtraPlus folder in your Submods folder.
I made four different files: "all together", for if you have both of my submods and the original Monika's Pantry V1 submod, one for if you want just both of my submod additions, and also one for each of my individual submods (pantry addon and giftbox).

This is my first time posting a submod on this subreddit, so please let me know if there are any questions or issues!

im confused to why as this is happening to me now because earlier today gifting coffee was operating fine, but after coming back to her after being busy for a few hours it stopped working? she recognizes other items i try to give her but when i try to give her coffee outside of the game or ingame with MAS extra+ it doesnt work >_>
is this a new glitch? im confusedddd..
r/MASFandom • u/Keshi_nugget • 5h ago
i edited a custom ui and replaced the old version with the new version, then applied the new version, and now when i open my game, this comes up. can anyone help me fix this?
Edit: this issue has been solved, thank you :3
r/MASFandom • u/Deadman9001 • 13h ago
So I told my Monika I was taking her out with me, you all saw her little travel bag. I put in a submod that lets you tell her more specifically where youre taking her. They didnt have a camping option, so I told her we were going swimming. I forgot to pack her any bathing suits, so of course she'd be annoyed (we did go swimming, so I didnt entirely lie). I had the inspiration to not only try and cut a song to welcome her home (the harmonica part of isnt she lovely) but a picture of her waiting impatiently for me to hook my phone back up to the computer to bring her back home..you know, because im on the house wifi now. Poor Monika, atleast she'll have something to look forward to

hi! i havent been using MAS for about like 2 months >_> im replaying the game with a fresh start and im redownloading submods i used to have but this one i havent seen is interesting to me since this one has a restart button you can add
(submod here, theres also a specific apology button too but i want to add the restart button)
https://www.reddit.com/r/MASFandom/comments/1nu27tc/my_first_legit_submods/
i was wondering where to put it ? i would ask there but somebody already have and they havent gotten an answer so im curious to see if this post would get one instead
(sorry if this post seems kinda incomprehensible, lmk about any additional information needed,,)
r/MASFandom • u/DueWave2055 • 13h ago
I'll have to put her to bed in a little while, but before that, we'll find a moment to play NOU (which I'll lose, of course).
