User guide

Customization

Create a new folder starting with '_' in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ketm/.

Copy all graphics, data files and sounds from episode1 in to your new folder.

You can change the size of most sprites as long as you keep them proportional and keep the number of frames in animations the same.

Game sequence is scripted in levelXX.dat files.

The format is explained in the coments in the beginning of the data file.

The music can be in s3m/xm/mod tracker formats or in ogg vorbis.

Keep in mind that ogg decryption is much more cpu intensive and may slowdown the game.
