VenusRootLoader progress report: We can mod Bug Fables with leaves!
In this blog post, I'll talk about the last 3 months of progress I got done, with lots of leaves implementation details and screenshots!
@ben The amount of time I seen where valve just doesn't have proper docs to devs is crazy.
Hell, the biggest problem plaguing bug fables is an issue on THEIR SIDE with steam input that the devs have to workaround by...reducing the duration of the Unity splash screen, lol
Here it is, a blog post about the progress of the last month done on VenusRootLoader, a WIP Bug Fables modloader.
The entire modloader got done and I even started game modding API. It's a BIG one!

@ben why do you even need this?
can't you just take some lorem ipsum and just copy paste a random part of it?
@ben nice (everyone is moving to godot it seems while I have to stay with unity for bf modding)
I made a design concept for how I'll solve the biggest problems with modding that game recently: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k6LcqfDQznT3n3WCyZW4g9RcYAGqtg7C6vyAHLlneJ4/edit?usp=drive_link
Currently, VRL can load mods and I even have a dependency system and even some tooling with externally parsable mods metadata, but I am waiting for my vacations to start so I can hope to finish the modloading portion and focus on the good stuff: game modding api

@ben but...you did out of the game :|
how you been doing btw? I'm progressing a lot of VenusRootLoader, a bug fables specific modloader I'm working on. Even made a design doc on how to solve the content ref issue the game has had.
(also, spy cards is def low prio for modding tbh cause you basically need to make an AI to make it work in game, didn't even both to document the internals yet lol)
I got done the VenusRootLoader bootstrap a month ago so here's a progress report of how it went!
This is the first large milestone of the project!
