So yeah, I made this mod just because SU mods i've seen here don't really fit game's design. It's not like they are bad, but artwork used in them is just not Don't Starv-ish enough, i guess.

So i made my own!

It's pretty simple now, but it's just a first version. I will put more stuff in the mod soon.

What mod contains now: - All the needed artwork, including avatars, map icons, big portraits, fully completed sprite, etc. - Basic modified character stats, like balanced hunger, health, sanity, walking speed, starting inventory, etc. - Customized quotes for almost everything.

To Do List: - Add proper mechanics for Limb Enhancers, insted of just assuming they are here. Like a special energy-consuming transformation triggered by wearing them as armor, for example. - Add Robonoids, that will be similar to Maxwell's shadow puppets. - Add proper compatibility with The New Reign Beta.

Current Version 0.2:

Sanity - 130 Health - 170 Hunger - 130

Hunger rate is slightly slower than standard (80% of Wilson's rate).

Walking speed is slightly faster than normal (5 for walking speed and 7 for running speed, insted of standard 4 and 6).

Character has constant bonus to science level, just like Wickerbottom, but without her unique ability to craft books, of course.

Also has one Construction Amulet in her starting inventory - i thought it will not be too OP, since this amulet is not so useful in early game and only has 5 charges.

And remember that these stats are basically a placeholder, when proper Limb Enhancers will be added, all stats will be rebalanced and amulet will be removed from starting inventory (maybe along with science level boost, but that's unlikely, bonus will probably stay forever).

So yeah... that's it! My first mod. Try to use and test it, if you will notice any issues, crushes or bugs, let me know - i will try to fix everything as fast as possible.

P.S. - and of course special thanks to Dleowolf and his character template, it helped me a lot! Link to his template on Klei Forums: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/files/file/950-extended-sample-character/
