Our Life Modding Guide

For anyone wanting to know how to either look into the game files themselves or write in their own scenes, here it is!

(Real quick, here's a link to GB Patch's opinion on modding - which is that we're free to do so - just in case anyone may be concerned about that; here's another as well.)

Preparation

I'm going to say right up front that I have the itch.io Windows version of Our Life, so your methods may vary on anything else. The Steam version is the exact same to my knowledge, however, so this should work exactly the same for it (I've had people who use the Steam version test mine for me).

While this may go without saying, definitely back up your game before anything else, both as a precaution and also to keep the original around (whether for comparison's sake, you might want to still play the original, or in case something goes wrong and you need to reinsert any of the original files). I usually keep the modded version's folder somewhere away from the original, but that's just me. You can also just make sure to mark it.

Unpacking Our Life's Files

One peek into the "game" folder of Our Life will reveal... well, not much. Some icon files, a couple images, two folders for your save files and cache, and little else. This is because everything else is packed into the .rpa files and we need to open them up. Think of it like a safe that we need to unlock, or luggage that we need to unzip.

Depending on how many DLCs you have (the only one I don't have is Voiced Names, which would be dlc_voiced_names.rpa), the amount of .rpa files will be any/all of these:

There are a few different ways to unpack these and I'll be listing multiple on the off chance that the others don't work (ordered by ease of use/overall usefulness).

RPA Extract (by iwanplays)

This is the easiest method out of all and the first I recommend you try. You can find it here.

It's a single .exe file and all you have to do is drop it into the "game" folder of Our Life, select all of the .rpa files, and drag them onto the .exe.

This will open a Command Prompt that will extract all of the files for you, and you can delete the rpaExtract.exe after it's done. Simple as that.

RPA Explorer (by UniverseDevel)

This one is useful if you only want to look at the files and not extract/edit them, though it can do that too. You can find it here. The disadvantage from RPA Extract is that you'll have to extract the .rpa files one at a time instead of all at once.

After downloading, open the program and click on "Load File" in the upper-left.

Locate your .rpa files and open one. You'll see folders and files pop up, showing you all the files inside of the .rpa file you chose. You're free to look at any of them as you please, but if you want to extract them, check the box next to the "/" folder to select everything and then click "Export checked" in the upper-left.

Locate the "game" folder in the Our Life folder that you want to mod, click on it, then click "OK".

A progress bar will appear in the lower-right and the files will be extracted. Repeat this process for the remaining .rpa files.

rpaextract (by Kaskadee)

This method is a little more complicated and therefore requires some more steps. You can find it here (you can simply download the portable version).

Rather than in the case of RPA Extract, you'll want to take the .rpa files out of Our Life's game folder and put them in the folder of whichever you downloaded. This will just make it easier in the long run.

Once everything is moved, right-click on the address above for the folder, click "Edit Address," and type "cmd" at the beginning before tapping Enter.

A Command Prompt will open with the name of the folder. You'll have to extract your .rpa files one at a time here.

You'll then type out (without the brackets):

rpaextract -x -f [filename].rpa -o game

The .rpa files will be extracted (as shown above, it will give you a loading bar to show progress then pop up the address for you to type something out again when it's done) and appear in a folder titled "game." You can then copy that folder and paste it over Our Life's game folder, combining the contents of both together.

Testing

Now that you have your files extracted, you can delete the .rpa files that you had extracted from because we don't need them anymore. The "game" folder of Our Life should look something like this:

You should also still be able to open the .exe of Our Life and load to the main menu without experiencing any error messages. Tapping on "DLC Info" in the upper-left of the main menu should also still have all the DLCs you had listed as "Installed."

If all that checks out, you're good to continue!

Setting Up Your Text Editor

You'll need a text editor for this and, for size's sake, I'm going to recommend Notepad++, which you can find here. You can just download the portable version but it doesn't really matter.

Once it's been opened, we're going to do a few steps to make it recognize Our Life's script (.rpy) files (the ones you'll be tampering with if you want to add scenes/change dialog/etc.).

Go into the "Settings" tab at the top, then click "Style Configurator".

2. Scroll through the "Language" section until you find "Python". Click on that.

3. Under "User ext. :" at the bottom, type "rpy" without quotations.

4. Hit "Save & Close".

5. Go to "Settings" again, then click "Preferences".

6. Find "Language" on the left of the window that pops up and click on that.

7. Look for "Tab Settings" on the right. It should be set to "Default", the "Tab size" should be "4", and you should checkmark the "Replace by space" box. You can then hit "Close".

(an important part of the code is indenting and this just streamlines it so that when you push "Tab" it will insert four spaces instead)

8. Go back to the Our Life "game" folder, then find an .rpy file (any will do), right-click it, then hit "Open with…"

9. Check the "Always use this app to open .rpy files" box.

10. Click on "Notepad++". If it's not there right away, hit "More apps", and if it's still not there then scroll all the way down and hit "Look for another app on this PC" and find+confirm the Notepad++.exe.

Now Notepad++ will automatically open any .rpy file that you double-click on and will treat them appropriately.

And now you're ready to go! The .rpy files are actually Our Life's script files, which can be freely opened in Notepad++ (or another text editor) to edit the game's scenes or add your own.

Happy modding!

Why Should Organizations Choose RPA Managed Services Over In-House Automation?

In the current business world, time is a very valuable resource, and the work flow depends on efficiency. Automation, especially through Robotics Process Automation, has proven to become more functional in enabling a reduction of excessive human interventions. Even if it is wise to develop an in-house automation team, there are key benefits associated with managed RPA services that explain why organizations should seek the help of the latter.

Here's why more and more organizations are choosing external expertise for their RPA needs:

Faster Implementation and Time-to-Value: Developing an effective Centre of Excellence for RPA services demands a substantial amount of time, and a lot of effort goes into recruitment activities, training, and infrastructure development. The implementation of IT management services is more efficient with MSPs as they already have the knowledge and tools in place, so it is faster to gain a return on investment. According to data gathered from numerous industries, first-order automation gains through engaging managed services run approximately 40% better than those achieved by setting up in-house centers of excellence.

Access to Specialized Skills and Experience: Today RPA services is a rapidly developing industry. Managed service providers employ teams of certified professionals with diverse experience across various industries and RPA service platforms. They also provide access to best practice ideas, new and improved techniques, and niche solutions for particular types of business, aspects which cannot easily or inexpensively be duplicated in-house. Data collected using the current survey shows that 65% of the companies are outsourcing RPA with a primary motivation to access specialized skills.

Cost Efficiency and Predictable Expenses: On the other hand, although in-house automation becomes cheaper in the long run, the upfront cost of personnel hiring and training, software purchase, and maintenance is considerably high and variable. Managed services are given on a subscription basis, and this factor eliminates the element of uncertainty, resulting in lower costs. Researches also indicate that outsourcing of RPA services may make the costs to be decreased by about 30% lower than if it was to be done internally.

Scalability and Flexibility: Business needs fluctuate. Managed RPA services permit the demand for capacity for automation to be adjusted according to the requirements, and is not restricted just like the hiring of employees or purchasing more equipment that is required for permanent automation services. This is important for meeting the ever-changing market needs and the growth of the business. There is information that organizations cooperating with managed services enjoy 25% more freedom in scaling up their automation processes.

Focus on Core Business Activities: Outsourcing an RPA project creates the need for an in-house in-IT team to run and maintain the project away from its core business functions. For this reason, when one hires the services of an MSP, internal teams are relieved of handling tasks that can otherwise be tedious and time-consuming, leaving them time to work on more pressing issues for the organization, such as business development. In another view, outsourcing of RPA, like other non-core businesses, can enhance organizational focus by about 50%.

Continuous Support and Maintenance: However, for the RPA application to gain an adequate amount of functionality, it has to be monitored, maintained, and updated over time. Another benefit of MSP is availability of workforce support on such tasks as this relieves internal IT and the business. However, the total availability of RPA services can be enhanced to the optimum level as some of RPA services providers have an availability of 99.9% in some cases.

Selecting the right partner is, therefore, essential when engaging in RPA services. Different organizations that provide RPA services are Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Suma Soft, Infosys, and Wipro. Assessing the competence, the years of experience and services they offered will assist before choosing the appropriate service provider that will meet the needs of your organization for the future automation plans.

Selecting the Best RPA Tool for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses 

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are constantly searching for ways to enhance their operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer service. One of the most powerful ways SMEs can achieve these goals is by adopting Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA tools help businesses automate repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable time for employees to focus on higher-value activities. However, with a wide variety of RPA tools available in the market, selecting the right one can be overwhelming. A thorough RPA tools comparison is essential to find the right fit for your business needs, budget, and scalability. In this blog, we will guide you on how to choose the right RPA tool for your SME and explore the key factors you need to consider. 

Understanding RPA and Its Importance for SMEs 

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software bots to automate business processes that are rule-based, repetitive, and time-consuming. These processes can include data entry, report generation, invoice processing, and even customer service tasks like handling inquiries or processing orders. By automating such tasks, businesses can save time, reduce human error, and streamline their operations, all while improving accuracy and customer satisfaction. 

For SMEs, adopting RPA can lead to significant cost savings, operational efficiency, and the ability to scale operations without needing to hire additional staff. The global RPA market has seen an exponential rise, and with more affordable and accessible solutions available, SMEs can now take advantage of this transformative technology. However, selecting the right RPA tool is crucial to maximize the return on investment (ROI) and ensure that automation aligns with your business goals. 

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an RPA Tool 

Ease of Use and Deployment 

One of the most important factors when selecting an RPA tool for your SME is how easy it is to implement and use. Many RPA solutions on the market today offer low-code or no-code platforms, which allow non-technical users to design and deploy automation workflows with minimal effort. This is especially important for SMEs that may not have dedicated IT teams or developers. 

Look for an RPA tool that provides a simple user interface and pre-built templates, allowing your team to automate processes quickly without extensive training. Additionally, consider the deployment time—tools that can be quickly deployed with minimal disruption to your existing operations will provide faster benefits. 

Cost-Effectiveness 

For SMEs, budget constraints are always a key concern. It is essential to evaluate the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes not only the upfront licensing fees but also hidden costs such as implementation, training, and maintenance. Some RPA tools operate on a subscription-based model, while others may require a one-time payment. 

When evaluating cost, consider the potential ROI of implementing RPA. A tool that offers scalability and flexibility as your business grows is ideal. Using an RPA ROI calculator can help you estimate the long-term value of implementing RPA, taking into account potential cost savings, improved efficiency, and error reduction. 

Integration Capabilities 

Another crucial factor when choosing an RPA tool is its ability to integrate with your existing systems and software. Most SMEs already have a variety of tools in place, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, or accounting platforms. A good RPA tool should be able to seamlessly integrate with these systems to automate workflows effectively. 

Before selecting an RPA tool, check if it supports integration with your core business systems. The more integrations it supports, the more processes you can automate across your entire organization. Tools that integrate well with your existing tech stack will save you time and effort during deployment and ensure that automation adds value from day one. 

Scalability 

As your SME grows, your needs and automation requirements will evolve. It’s important to choose an RPA tool that can scale with your business. Look for solutions that allow you to start small and gradually expand automation across multiple departments or processes as your business grows. 

A scalable RPA solution can handle an increasing volume of tasks, more users, and additional processes without the need to switch to another tool. Some RPA vendors offer tiered pricing plans that let you pay for only what you need, with the option to scale up as necessary. 

Security and Compliance 

Security is a critical consideration when choosing any software, and RPA is no exception. Since RPA tools often handle sensitive business data, it is essential to choose a solution with robust security features. Ensure that the tool complies with industry standards and regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS, depending on your business sector. 

Check for features like data encryption, secure access controls, and audit logs to track any changes made by bots. RPA tools with strong security measures can prevent unauthorized access and mitigate the risk of data breaches. 

Testing and Trial Periods 

Most RPA vendors offer free trials or demo versions of their tools, which can be incredibly valuable when making your decision. Take full advantage of these trials to test how the tool performs in real-world scenarios. This will help you assess the user experience, integration capabilities, and overall functionality. 

Additionally, some vendors may offer proof-of-concept (PoC) implementations, which allow you to pilot the RPA tool on a limited scale before committing to a full deployment. This approach lets you identify potential issues and refine your automation strategy before scaling it across your organization. 

Book an Appointment to Discuss Your RPA Needs 

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of RPA tools on the market or unsure which solution is right for your SME, it’s a good idea to consult an expert. Book an appointment with an RPA consultant who can help assess your specific needs, provide guidance on the best RPA solutions, and walk you through the selection and implementation process. 

An expert can help you identify the automation opportunities within your business, estimate potential savings, and choose the right tool that aligns with your long-term goals. With the right guidance, you can implement RPA smoothly and start reaping the benefits sooner. 

Conclusion 

Choosing the right RPA tool for your small or medium-sized enterprise is a critical decision that can significantly impact your business operations. With the right solution, SMEs can automate time-consuming tasks, reduce operational costs, and scale their processes efficiently. By considering factors like ease of use, integration capabilities, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and security, you can make an informed choice that benefits your business in the long run.
