User blog comment:Orpheus the Traveler/Thoughts on Side Stories/@comment-16126092-20170912130219

Side stories are quite easy to write indeed, you don't need any programing skills to do so and the MGQ engine, while limited, is great to produce visual novel kind of thang.

So yeah i agree, if you feel like making a side story go right ahead! Most of the "coding" you will be doing will be simply like writing a theater play. If you want to get into more complex things such as battles however, then you'll have to make a turn by the Full patch tutorial, since i'm pretty sure it can works for side stories. (RIIIIGHT there --> http://monstergirlquest.wikia.com/wiki/Making_a_Re-Patch)

And if you feel like going for not a side story but a FULL PATCH of the game, then do read carefully the tutorial good ol' Ginrikuzuma did, for a re-patch (or full patch whatever) is more complex than a side story.

BUT IS DIFFERENT FROM A SIDE STORY, just to make sure you don't get confused by dat. Since when you do a re-patch, you recode the game itself. When you do a side story however, you don't. (das pretty important to point out.)

Alright i'm off to return coding naw, before i end up releasing 0.8.5 the next year.
