Happy Layton Big Bang!!! @proflaytonbigbang !!
Here's my contribution: a whole new ukagaka to play around with!! (Grab them here!!)
Layton and Luke come with a few features --
Sit on your desktop and chat to themselves
Serve them a spot of tea! (Be careful not to jostle them)
Read through Luke's journal and get anecdotes from all their adventures!
A simple affection system!
Update functionality! So if they get more dialogue in the future, all you need to do is tell them to update and they'll grab it automatically!
Other ukagaka functionality (checking your email, deleting the files in your recycling bin, recognising certain files you drag and drop onto them)
And three whole shells! One made by the fantastic Danganny_art (Instagram) (X/Twitter) (check her post on it over here!!), the other made by @smooley (Instagram) (Itch.io) (coming soon!!)!! (I made the third but it was mostly for sprite sheet reference haha)
They come with their own unique balloon as well, made by @ageofzero!! It comes with designs from all 6 of the mainline games, so you can choose your favourite!
I have also posted all of their dialogue lines on ao3 in case you can't get ssp to work, though it's only the barebones dialogue from their release version.
Here's how to grab them --
Download SSP (you are looking for the ダウンãƒãƒ¼ãƒ‰ button)
(as a note, SSP currently only runs on Windows. for solutions to a linux setup, check here!)
Make sure to place SSP in its own folder! Don't extract it directly onto your desktop and don't remove any of the files from its folder. Not even the application.
(You might have to add ssp to the exceptions on your virus protection software so it can run.)
Say hello to Emily (the cat girl)! She will always be there to greet you the first time you run ssp.
Download Layton and Luke's .nar! (You can download their balloon separately, but they come bundled with it so that's not necessary)
Drag Layton and Luke's .nar file onto Emily once she's finished speaking so she will install it.
(Alternatively, if you are having trouble with this, a .nar file is just another .zip, so you can grab the files from it and place it into a folder yourself! Make the new folder in the Ghosts folder of ssp's files (you will see Emily's folder in there!) (make sure to name it the same name as the .nar itself) and place all of Layton and Luke's files inside it!)
Then you can switch or call up Layton and Luke by right clicking on Emily and selecting them from the Switch Ghosts or Call Ghosts options! Simple as that!
Thanks so much for everyone involved!! Happy Layton big bang!!
