Barely Working Modding

Modding Quickstart Guide

Image files need to be placed into a specific folder with a specific name in order for them to work correctly. To make it easy, we have added a tool that automatically sets up the file for you.

  1. Open Barely Working
  2. Navigate to the gallery
    • Must have completed the level to see the gallery
  3. Click an image
  4. Press "D" on your keyboard to open up the developer tool
  5. Click the "Export" button

The mod folder should open automatically, with the image there. If the mods folder does not open automatically, it should be located here:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Barely Working\mods
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/Barely Working/mods
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Barely Working/mods

You can now edit the exported image file and save it to the same directory. When you are done, re-open the gallery to see if it is in-game.

Congrats! You just made your first mod for Barely Working!

Distributing Your Mod

In order for players to use your mod, they must place your files in the same exact folder structure. I recommend zipping the base mods/ directory and telling players where to extract it to.

Android and browser modding will not be supported.

Download HQ Assets

Exporting images from the game itself will give you compressed images. Below are links to download the high quality assets, and base nude versions.
