Indexing Your Heart is an upcoming visual novel/RPG mashup where you play as a software engineer who has a secret admirer that you're actively dating who wears a hammer costume. The game is a re-implementation of Codename Katorin and Codename Coyote Hammer, using native Godot tools and the Dialogic library. The primary objective of this project is to continue developing the game without worrying about smaller developer details that could be easily re-implemented with an addon.
⚠️ This project is still in its infancy, so some details and mechanics may not work as intended. If you'd like to support the project, consider supporting the developers on Ko-fi.
Required Tools
- Godot 3.4 or later
Optional Tools
- Salmon 9 font family
- Swift 5.5 (or later) toolchain (or Xcode 13 or later)
Start by cloning the repository with gh repo clone and then open the project in
Godot. Click the Play button to run the game from within the Godot editor.
By default, this project does not include the Salmon 9 font family per its license agreement. Instead, great open-source equivalents are provided so that the project builds and renders correctly.
If you have purchased the Salmon 9 font family and want to use those fonts in the game, replace the following files with the corresponding family variants:
- Monospace (
assets/fonts/mono.ttf): Salmon Mono 9 Regular - Sans-serif (
/assets/fonts/sans.ttf): Salmon Sans 9 Regular - Serif (
/assets/fonts/serif.ttf): Salmon Serif 9 Regular
If you have not purchased the font and would like to do so, you can find the font on Phildjii's page on Itch.io at https://phildjii.itch.io/salmon-family.
The Marteau package (utils) includes utilities for handling helper functions such
as:
- Updating build configurations
- Converting Markdown documents to Dialogic timelines
- Importing portraits into Dialogic quickly
More information how to build Marteau and its usage can be found in the documentation at utils/README.md.
Note: You will need either a developer toolchain for Swift or Xcode as described in "Optional Tools" to build and run Marteau.
