Piñata Go Boom Custom Skins

We’ve added a new feature to Piñata Go Boom where you can add your own custom skins!

During the game’s launch, we created a skins contest where the users of our Discord server submitted their own unique skin creations to add as examples for custom skin creations, and today the winners have been announced!

If you would like to add your own custom skins into the game, you will need to follow some instructions, which involve downloading a .zip file and adding it to the game’s save file. You can find the instructions below:

Guidelines on creating custom skins

• You only need to design the head.

• The image must have a transparent background.

• The game automatically generates the outline for the skins, so it's not necessary to add it.

• The maximum amount of custom skins that the game will load at once is 24. If you want to add new ones, store the older ones in another folder. The game will pick up the first 24 valid image files in the custom_skins/skins folder, in alphabetical order.

• Try to keep the skin files as square as possible, the game expects skin images to have the same width and height.

• To generate the hand color, the game will read the skin file to check the most frequent color.

• Generally, skins with less colors and less detail will look more cohesive with the game's style.

In the skins folder you'll find an .aseprite file with good examples of custom skins, to give you a good idea of how to set the images up, and where to set the center of the image so it looks good on the player's body.

Have fun designing custom skins!
