Introduction and more...!
Hello stranger.. Welcome to my mod's info page!
Here you can learn more about Gnarcoon, and his lore.

~English is Not my first language so I'll try to explain this as much as I can.

Sadly, steam workshop have limited amount of symbol in Mod's description...
So I made a few discussions to tell everything about this character without worrying about losing space to write something or making another picture, which nobody can copy for translation...
You can always suggest a change or your own idea for what he can get in-game.

Ah yes! Gnarcoon..
People who knows this creature, prefer to call him Winley..
Anyway, that's not what I wanna to tell you about this character.
He's more than a casual mod found on workshop..
It's something more important.
One day, I bought Don't starve on steam.
And I thought, hey.. it's a very fun game and it's completly perfect for me to play.
After some time, Klei (the DS authors) made a multiplayer version of it.
I was very excited to try this out! And it all started. That was just for fun..
They made mods, they improved stuff.. They changed me.
After almost two years I found Gnar, The Missing Link on the workshop.
It was my favourite character to play (even if it wasn't perfectly made),
I got bored using original characters after a playing for quite some time.
The game changed over time and there was no support for Gnar's modification..
I was very sad about that so I attempted to try new things with code and mods.
I started to create.. It wasn't much of work from me, but I made a copy of a mod.
A few friends liked that and suggested me..
~Why don't you make your own mod..
I said..
~Well.. it's not completely mine, I just copied that..
Their reaction was..
~Then try to make something that's completely yours and you're done.
I downloaded Klei's .tex extractor and .bin renamer to make another "skin",
so it looked like a "completely different character".
Anyway, I made some changes to the mod and I uploaded it on steam.
It wasn't that easy for me to manage code and files like that.. due to a lack of skill.
But I made it.. kinda.. Gnarcoon came to life on the workshop, just like that.
Without any help, without any reason to make this mod.
Only for me to have more fun from this game.
However, to avoid what happend to previous mod,
I needed to make changes to my mod everytime the game had an update..
I wasn't good enough to do that on my own, so it looked poorly..
Jeez, even now it looked like crap from my point of view but trust me,
It has improved since then because I've recieved a little help.
There you have it.. a short story of behind the scenes - Creation of Winley.
I hope you'll have as much fun as I had while making this mod!


Mod Status : Completed.
Yes. This is my first character mod I ever made.
Wasn't planning on doing more of them but oh well...
(I will add some new things and items over time)
And.. probably one skin every three (or two) months in between...


Trivia:
Winley's age is described in human years as he grown older.
You could calculate "his" cat age with this method:
Winley's human age = X (real time)
Y = X / 5
Y * X = Winley's cat age (in months)
Winley's average lifespan is 15 cat years (30 human).


Skeleton Makeup, The Survivor, The Triumphant, The Umbrageous, The Snowfallen, The Skippy Coones, The Magmatic, The Pog'narcoon and The Feral Pog'narcoon skins were made without Spriter and Autocompiler Programs, they were made by exporting Gnar's atlas-0 and atlas-1 into png

Mod supposed to be just about Gnar, catcoon was combined year after the idea.. I was very sad about abandoned Gnar mod, so I started to make more stuff related to him on my own

Finally. Gnar - The Missing Link skin was created after 8 years of development
Yeah, I know.. a little bit too late


I've never read any book about Skippyjon, his skin exists because of other people's comments

Roseate's color set is based on choices of my best friends

FNF Winley skin came to life after Original Winley was taken from DST world, into Friday Night Funkin' world. Then again, concept was drawn from FNF art to DST art

Since 2016 there's finally lore about his.. arrival..

PRODUCTION TIME category counts as sprite making period
(in-game character model + ghost + beard textures).
Main portraits + Showcase pictures are not included in that period of time.


Scrybe of Technology skin screen's resolution is 180x120

His language is based on many different countries (mumbling), (and also some easter eggs ones)

Maxwell knows him. His past. And his friend...

Gnarcoon came to this world via Florid Postern.
He lost his memories.. he doesn't knew how, when and why.
~That was punishment.. but for a good cause.


"Winley" was created by William.
He used bone leftovers from cardboard box in the back room at museum.
~William never saw him alive...
