Yeah I figured you can edit the values in text form, but it sucks to not be able to see what you're doing with the character. Better than nothing I suppose. Still feels like it shouldn't be hard to convert the files backwards given you can just load up an appearance file and turn it into a character instantly with no work.
No, you can't edit NPCs which already created in game. Yes, you can convert .npc to .dat file.
1. Open .npc file in text editor( I'm using VS code for it)
2. Search in text for "body"
3. Delete all text before brace
4. Search in text for "scale"
5. Delete all text after 2 braces
6. Save as file and change format to .dat
If you still have questions, let me know, and I'll describe the guide in more detail.
For the future, I'd like to ask everyone sharing their characters to save them not as NPCs but as a save from the character editor. The saves are the same for both NPCs and the main character, so please share your .dat files.
Shortcut for the game save folder, just copy and paste into the address bar in explorer

The text around the first part is {"body":{ does that mean I delete everything from the start of the file up to (but not including) that first brace? And for the scale part it would be everything starting with the coma after the double braces, to the end of the file. Is that right?
EDIT: Yep, ok, tried it out. It's exactly like that.
Either way, amazing info, thanks.
And while I'm at it, is there a way to modify vanilla NPCs, by any chance?

I don't know exactly where the vanilla NPC files are stored. I tried looking for it but couldn't find. The only working solution for now is to disable all vanila NPCs and create your own
Yeah it's just that the ones in town and that sit around to chat in the levels are fixed, so it'd be nice to be able to edit those.
One question to fellow character creators, If there are some here: Is there a way to add Quinn's face scars to our characters? I know we can add her body scars to our characters through file editing, but can we add her face scars the same way? If there is a name for this exact pattern and you know it, pls share it!
The names for her body scars are "BodyF_Quinn_Scars" (The full scar on her hand) "BodyF_Quinn_Scars2" (The outline of her scar)
The names for her body scars are "BodyF_Quinn_Scars" (The full scar on her hand) "BodyF_Quinn_Scars2" (The outline of her scar)

Would like to see more animations like boobjob, buttlicking, some double penetration. The dp could work well with the reclined licking/sucking as its base.

is there anything more to this game then fighting the same one enemy over and over, getting the same loot over and over and having sex with npcs?
what is the 1/20? i assume it must be some sort of level up system, and is there a way to masturbate in the game?

Nope, you pretty much nailed the description on all of the content in the game. People have been posting various NPCs that they have created, so you can scroll back through the thread and download a few, if you want to change up the default NPCs in the game.
There is an NPC creator you can use in the game that lets you create your own NPCs that can be added to the pool of available NPCs to spawn on any particular island.
The 1/20 is the map level. There are 20 'different' islands that you can potentially go to. The major difference is that on the higher level islands, enemies drop more money and the gear is a bit better quality.
To increase your level, you need to pick up enough of those pink energy balls that are floating all over the place on the various islands and then click on the central column at the island's portal to fill up a progress bar and advance to another island.
There is an option to masturbate, but you have to interact with a NPC on the islands. I THINK the option is under Offer, there should be an 'ask the NPC to masturbate' or just masturbate. When you are just slumming around one of the islands, I don't think there is an option to just rub one out wherever you are.

For those brave souls that have completed all 20 "levels," is there anything else at the end? New content? New enemies? An ending? I'm kinda huffing copium wishing that this isn't all that there is at this point, and I don't want to slog through boring locales for another 3 hours or so.

with this tool you can extract character presets and change size etc
I went through all 20 levels because I asked myself the same questions you are asking.
The answer to your questions is: No.
No ending.
No new content.
No new enemies.
No new areas.
No new scenery.
No new NPCs.
No new items.
No new anything.
What you see on level 1 is pretty much exactly what you will see on level 20. Pretty disappointing, but, ehh, it was something to do.
The higher the level you are on, enemies will drop more money and the items are better, but nothing new, special, or different.
This is what a gamer looks like.
Keep pressing forward. Knowing very well the vault, or cake is a lie...

This is the dev's first game release.. I know it's disappointing to have a great idea to dinking around with, but.. He is taking what he's learned in Arch, and has already started working on his next game. If you can, join his discord.. It's worth it to get some "behind the scenes" info.. on what his continued plans are with Arch, and what he's planning for his next game. :thumbsup:Damn. Thanks for your service soldier
Eh, I like surprises. Plus, joining Discord servers ain't my jam. All I do is lurk lol. Now having the knowledge that this is his first project, I did psych myself up to see what was beyond those 20 levels and what not, but in hindsight, yeah, nothing. Oh well, I'll wait.
