1.9.0 Anniversary update

Happy Anniversary

One year ago today, the first version of this mod was published to the gamebanana. Persona 3 Reload was released on the second, and within the day we had both Ray's very funny early import of Jinster's P3D Femc model, and my own experiments of early importing to get her in game.

Over the past year the mod has not only trail-blazed a lot of things related to P3R, but also fostered a community I'm incredibly proud to be apart of. From fixing the buttcheek hair we had at the start, to now making new hair. Or the griddy animation we imported forever ago fixing an issue that plagued custom animations for a few weeks out of the blue. The amount of incredibly talented Femc fans who have contributed to the mod whether directly, or even just giving their two-cents on an asset or issue, is mind boggling.

The initial goal I had with this mod was just model replacements, and ui replacements, as I thought that's what I could at the very least handle myself. In just the first couple of weeks people hopped into the discord I made on a whim to not spam the pmodding thread and hit the ground running. People were combing through the entire game's script to replace pronouns, and start on what custom events might look like. Custom music was being made, people were asking if they could contribute voice lines in both English and Japanese, various people were making art and giving pointers on what could be improved, Rirurin randomly jumpscared everyone with pink lemonade menus, and every other update the bathroom door in the dorm was breaking somehow. We even managed to make the skirt not shoot down to her toes!

Now, a year later, my original goal of 2d and 3d assets, has been reached, and blown out of the water really. We have every 2d asset replaced, 3d asset replaced, along with custom music, custom voicelines, gendered audio, a plethora of options for 2d assets, and even more on the way.

Over the next year our focus will mostly be on custom animations and custom events. Custom animations are fully figured out, and slowly being worked on. Custom events are still a WIP, but proven possible, and scripts are being written in preparation, along with assets being made. Plans are also underway to revamp the github very soon, to move some things off it like raw files onto another repo so people can download the whole repo without like a gig of assets. These plans also include making it very easy to contribute various assets such as 2d, and to make your own costumes for the mod, to encourage people working on the mod, and getting into P3R modding in general.

As a final note, I want to give another heartfelt thanks to everyone who's contributed to the mod. The mod and the community around it are something I am extremely proud to be apart of, and I am looking forward to what we all make this mod into over the next year too. While the patchnotes for this update are small, the progress we've made over the year is not.

Custom Animations

Custom animations are now under way! Inside the discord there is a new channel called anims-assets which has lots of useful info pinned! This includes all the p3p anims shoved into nla strips, along with a rig to animate. There's alot of info inside the discord, but as of right now battle animations are opened up as Mudkip has cracked all the issues and limitations we had with them before! If you are interested in contributing please join the discord and give that channel a look!

Config App

The Femc Config App is now in a useable enough state we can recommend people look at it. It even has auto updates so you can keep up to date with bug fixes and new features easily! Please give it a shot and give feedback here!

1.6.1 Hotfix

Please see patch notes from 1.6.0

1.6.0 The pet Koromaru Update

This update is a small one, the only real big thing is no more missing animations. Still lots to look forward to though!

This is also the first time an update has been pushed by someone who isn't Mudkip! Allowing some other people to push updates will allow more consistent Femc Fridays, especially for smaller ones!

3D

• Animations missing for Kotone before (opening door, petting Koromaru, sitting in Velvet room) are now there thanks to Mudkip
• New Idle Anim for Fields thanks to Mudkip

Backend stuff

Text

• Japanese fixes done by DaithiFeMCFan
• social stats names edited by Astro

Extra

Due to some recent developments, Mudkip has made strides in doing custom animations. As of right now the two main limits were amount of frames an animation can have, and criware cues. Criware cues can be fixed by Mudkip personally, and work is being done to remove the limit on framecount for animations, which is nearly there.

Custom animations will most likely start being underway on the 13th (next Femc Friday!). So if you've been looking forward to contributing animations, look forward to then!

This update brings some bug fixes, and big changes behind the scenes, along with some awesome new 3d art. However the largest thing of course, is Theo!

• Code is cleaned up, music is in musicmanager.cs, asset redirection stuff in it's own .cs, along with mod.cs being cleaned up so it's more organized.

Event Editing

Event Editing has been making rapid progress! Rirurin has posted fully custom events on Twitter, as has Ray! Keep checking in the discord for updates as they happen!

Femc Config App

The Femc Config App has been making good progress! We need testers, and it's in a pretty good state currently so please use it if you'd like! Eventually you will be able to use the app to manage everything Femc related, including downloading it, updating it, downloading addons, and more!

1.3.0 The Answer to Skirt

This update is quite big in terms of things going on behind the scene. So like usual, I'll do a quick breakdown up front as a TLDR; and then the bigger patch notes below.

This patch's biggest thing is the skirt being fixed. Now the skirt being "fixed" is mostly referring to it getting a mind of it's own and growing. A few patches ago I included a "skeleton" fix which fixed Kotone's proportions, it turns out this same fix also works with the skirt, so I made that change. It also made the "fix" work even better on the face and proportions too which is quite nice. This won't of course fix clipping everywhere, but it's certainly a nice band-aid while custom animations get made! On top of that, some new bustups, a new party panel by Esa, and a new glass shard image by Ely and Shiosakana have been made!

On top of this we have a new Femc Config App we could use testing for! It lets you preview all 2d options at the moment, and future plans are underway for letting it update the femc mod for you in case you have errors, and all femc options! You can test it here!

Also the skirt fix is set to on by default, but if it isn't working the Answer to fix that is just enabling it in the 3d category in the config! Anyway, on to the patch notes!

2d

• New bustup by Axolotl
• New bustup by CielBell
• New bustup by GhostedToast

Advancements in the mod

This is a bit of an unusual section as I've never done it before, however there's been alot of stuff behind the scenes regarding allowing this mod to continue to develop.

Event Editing

First and foremost is Riruin's new event editor build. It's in the early stages, but it is public! It also has a WIP guide if you'd like to take a look here! Bear in mind it's still early on like I said before, but it's a massive leap forward and it'll be exciting seeing it develop!

Femc Mod Github Wiki

On top of this I've been working slowly but surely on making a guide for contributing to the mod. As of right now it just covers how to fork this repo so you can make a pull request, and the basics to making a costume. This will expand though when I show how to contribute animations, on top of anyone else who wants to make a guide for... something related to Femc idk.

Custom Animations

Animation wise as well I'm somewhat done with an animation rig, however I've scaled back to make it a shrimple ik skeleton because I forgot how diverse some rigs and work flows are. I'm hoping to have it out next week so we can get started on animations, but at the very least next week I will have more info to share.

Special Notes

Kotone Cutscenes Mod

Just a little bit after this update is out the Kotone Cutscenes mod is releasing! Go check it out here!

1.2.1 The unbreaking
