#but overall tutorial and template are gud

[venelona-turtle-den]

Listen I may or may not be obsessed with the idea of making my own Ghost, like your Leonardo Ghost, but I don't know where to start. I have very little experience with coding, so if you end up wanting to help me here, assume I know nothing.

I didn't know anything about ghost/ukagaka making before I started working on Leo, and I had some coding experience going into it (very basic though. Like if you had IT class at school and understood the logistics behind stuff there, you'll get it)

But I have a few resources to offer as help!

Tutorial and template I used. Made by @/zarla-s, the tutorial is really informative if you go into this with as little info as possible and template is full of explanations in all documents in all steps. It may be a bit overwhelming at first, but if you have a vision of what you want to create you can shape the template into it step by step!

@ukagakadreamteam, a blog where you can ask ghost developing-related questions. There also a whole ghost wiki full of different ghosts, templates and tools on how to make them. There's also a link to discord where experienced people are always ready to help you with any ghost-related questions you have, bug-test your ghost or collab to make one and etc. In two days a Ghost Jam starts, where a bunch of people gonna make ghosts in just 3 or 7 days, so, great time to hop aboard and see the process and all xD

I'd be up to help! If you get questions with development, I am up to help. My methods may be not very efficient (like. You can make it simpler and shorter but yunno what i wrote works so!! that's the main thing!!), but yeah, don't be afraid to reach out if you need help!

Honestly, for ghost making, if you figure out how to

a) Write dialogue lines

b) Add sprites correctly

c) Learn how to weave these sprites with the dialogue at the times you want

Then it's like 80% of the knowledge you need! The other things you do once and you can be on your way!

So, good luck 💜✨
