Welcome to this week's update! Most of the team is back again and we are ready to roll.
Note that this week's update is still a bit smaller in scope since our artists only came back this week.

How to get it is up to you to find out!
Nini has been added in honor of a very special person. I hope she will provide you with as much joy and love as she does to me,
[h2]Mod In Your Own Pets[/h2]
[b]Modding Quest Master[/b] is a very often requested feature, and I listened.
Starting today you can [b]mod in your own pets[/b].
I will be gradually [b]expanding the capabilities of the modding tools over the coming weeks and months[/b] and gauge interest.
Let's get into how easy it is to create your own pet.
[h3]1. Locate the Mods folder[/h3]
The first step is to locate the [b]Mods[/b] folder. It's part of the installation directory, which you can find my right-clicking the game within the Steam interface.

[h3]2. Duplicate the Example Pet Mod[/h3]
You will notice a folder inside the Mods directory called [b]~Cojiro (Example Pet Mod)[/b].
This is a sample pet mod that I created, which simply creates a clone of the chicken pet and colors it blue.
To create your own pet, duplicate that folder and rename it to something you want.

[b]Note[/b]
[code]The tilde ~ character in front of the name makes the game ignore the folder. So for your own pet, do not use the tilde ~.[/code]
[h3]3. Modify The Pet Spritework To Your Liking[/h3]
You will see all necessary sprites inn the folder you just duplicated. Modify them however you want.
[h3]4. Optionally Adust The Pet Configuration[/h3]
You will see a [b]Cajiro.yaml[/b] file in that directory. This is what tells the game to produce the pet at runtime. It has a lot of documentation to get you started. If you wish to make changes to the animations of your pet or how it moves, feel free to modify it.

[h3]5. Run The Game And Give Gabi A Visit[/h3]
If you did everything right, Gabi will show all your modded pets at the end of the list.
Enjoy your new custom pet!
