NEW SAVE REQUIRED

You WILL have to start a new save file initially to play this mod. Otherwise all their houses will be blocked by trees/bushes. It will bug their schedules. They will walk through walls, and they will disappear from the map. You cannot play with this mod unless you start a new save.

Updates made to the mod however will not require a new save, to update the mod simply remove the old file and replace it with the new one. Your save data won’t be lost. :)

MOD DETAILS

- Demon Slayer x Stardew Valley AU.
- Three new NPCs - Rengoku, Sanemi and Genya.
- The corps exists to protect the people of Pelican Town from demons.
- The other villagers are unaware of the true reason for the corps existence, much like in the anime.
- The mod is based before the final battle / lines up with the current anime release, so no spoilers.
- All NPCs have a current total of 5 heart events each. (+1 bonus Sanemi/Genya)
- They will attend all festivals and will also be present during wedding ceremonies.
- They have their own homes within the town map and do not replace any vanilla NPCs.
- Their favourite foods have been added in the form of replacements to vanilla recipes.
- The vanilla town map has been altered to accommodate their homes. (North of the bookseller area and community center)
- Empty homes for all hashira have been added in preparation for future NPCs to be added.
- Keep an eye out for updates, wether bug fixes or new content, they will be regular.

ABOUT THE NPCs

- True to character, you’ll get on Sanemi’s nerves. Your presence alone will irritate him at first and it will take him a while to warm up to you.
- Genya is similar to Sanemi,, but he's not quite as difficult to befriend. If you play as a female, Genya will also blush around you to begin with.
- Rengoku will be a sweetheart to you from day 1 of course.
- Sanemi and Genya are still having a tough time with their relationship.. but maybe you can help?

KNOWN BUGS

- On the first in-game day, they might stay in bed all day and not move. They should resume their normal schedules the next day.
- Secret Note 17 showing the dig spot near the waterfall in town is no longer useable since the space where the dig site was has been changed. I did open up the spot, (to the right of the graveyard / to the left of the house with the blue door, in the single open tile space hidden behind the tree.) but it may not work.. Sorry about this. As backup, your demon slayer spouse will give one to you on Fall 27. However this item can also be found at random in other dig spots or in the mines, so you may find it before then anyway.
- The legendary fish (Angler) that was previously catchable on around the small bridge above Joja is now catchable in the pond beside the butterfly mansion. (I didn’t move it but it just so happens to be this way after the vanilla map changes)

PLANNED UPDATES

- More characters to be added gradually.
- A 14 heart (post marriage) event for each NPC.
- Children taking on the appearance of spouse. - currently working on this
- I do have more ideas but not disclosing them yet so not to take on too much at once.

RECOMMENDED MODS

SEASONAL JAPANESE BUILDINGS by sonreirblah
- Turns your farm buildings into traditional Japanese buildings that change with the seasons. (Aesthetically fits well with the Demon Slayer theme.)

DATING/MARRIAGE

- Don’t marry them the moment you reach 10 hearts! Otherwise you’ll miss a load of bf/gf dialogue.
- You can have children with Sanemi and Rengoku.
- You can’t have children with Genya because the character is a teen, but you can adopt.
- All marriage dialogue is SFW/PG rated bearing in mind a large portion of the fandom are minors.
- Adult NPCs (currently Rengoku and Sanemi) have a couple of lines of vaguely suggestive post-marriage dialogue that may or may not be interpreted as suggestive depending on how the player chooses to look at it (same concepts used as with the og NPCs/falls in directly line with vanilla game romance/fits the age rating of the game.)
- Teen NPCs (currently just Genya) will not have any remotely suggestive dialogue whatsoever, as well as being unable to have biological children.

CHANGES THAT AFFECT VANILLA ASPECTS OF THE GAME

- Plum pudding becomes Ohagi (red bean mochi) - The image and the recipe have both been changed
- Green bean becomes Red. bean. - Only the colour of the bean plant/seeds has been changed.
- Maki Roll becomes Onigiri (rice ball) - The image has been changed, the recipe has not been changed.
- Melon becomes Watermelon. - Nothing changed except the name.
- Green Tea becomes Matcha Tea - Nothing changed except the name.
- Yams become Sweet potatoes - Nothing changed except the name.
- Glazed Yams become Glazed Sweet Potatoes - nothing changed except the name.
- The paintings available at the night market have all been changed to represent a Hashira.
- Three items of clothing accessible via the sewing machine have been changed.
- Three of the summer butterflies have been changed to represent Kanae, Aoi and Shinobu’s butterfly pins.
- The generic spouse reaction to dying in the mines has been changed. I believe it still works well with all NPCs.
- Sorry, but there’s no config for these changes. If they’d clash with another mod, you’ll just have to play less modded.
