I mean he might just be one of those people that starts a project, makes decent progress, and then just loses interest. Everyone trying to contact him is probably just annoying him.

I’m not an engineer, but having worked with a number of startups many times talented programmers/designers/whatever are 100% confident that they can do something until the moment they hit a wall. It’s possible that he got a new job, possible that he was hired by IG, or possible (in my book most likely thanks to Occam’s Razor) he is a gifted graphic artist who hit some sort of snag with proprietary tools that made integration impossible. With the number of people on here who were clamoring for fixes/customs/racy outfits and the excitement he generated with his initial posts it might be tough to come back and admit it’s not going to happen. It’s not just him, either - people who have gleefully modded dozens of other games seem to be struggling with KI. The time-to-product ratio is just too great.

most likely the final step of playing with a mod in-game can’t be figured out yet. big difference between extracting data from files and getting the game to play with modded files injected back in. Dat Win10 store protection…

I think M$ paid him to stop any modding or face a lawsuit.
you do see that those are only slightly different, Fulgure is just a tad too bulky and Wulf needs a few more follicles of facial hair and slightly less jaw muscle, they are above 90% indentical
You’re blind.
Could’ve swore he said he got it running with Aganos’s flower switched for his club.
But regardless, there’s no currently-feasible technology Microsoft could’ve implemented that could keep people from modding UWP games – any computer scientist worth their salt should be able to tell you that – and I doubt they even really tried to obfuscate things beyond hiding some folders. Certainly there’s not a lot of evidence of such measures – if you look at the stated goals of UWP (which of course gamers wouldn’t, because it’s a whole lot of boring dev talk) it’s all about standardizing things like installation and uninstallation across technologies and platforms, providing cross-platform APIs, etc. Basically cleaning up the Win32 mess, before said mess drives people over to Apple and Google platforms.
Not that I can speak to beterthnyu’s absence. Maybe he is stumped on some proprietary something-or-other. He struck me as more of an artist who can hack around than an engineer, so that’s not really evidence that modding KI is hard. Maybe a better explanation still is that he is suffocating under an inexorable pile of crunch in his irl job, because he’s a game developer and that’s a pretty common situation for game developers to find themselves in. The idea that MS is involved seems unlikely, though – MS probably doesn’t care, even if they do they probably can’t keep him from discussing c&d orders, and I sure as hell can’t see them hiring someone with as little respect for the developers as he’s demonstrated no matter how good he is.

To all the folks worried about our modder freind give em’ some time. When you’re wrappe din your work like this, sometimes you tend to be so enveloped you forget to socialize once and awhile.
Either that or something came up in his life and he has to deal with it right now.
As anxious as some of you are to see what he’s up to, admittedly the guy is clearly hard at work!
to the OP: Keep doing what you do

sorry but that’s 100% wishful thinking. He’s not responding PM’s. He wants nothing to do with KI mods anymore. We’ll never know why probably
He probably found some files that suggest Sonic The Hedgehog will be the final Season 3 character.

To be fair:
He is making his own Ki as well apparently because he hates this one:

Seems like it. I hope not because I want to play as jago with a lightsaber damnit lol but seeing how things are now it looks like mods won’t be a thing unfortunately.
Were you all relying on just one guy to do the modding in this game? Hes just one person. The dream is not dead. I just find it weird that he went dark after posting so often and so much.
There will be plenty of modders out there if its even possible to mod it. I do 3d modelling and would be curious to do some if/once someone figures out how to get assets into the game.
