3 years ago I've actually written a mod previously that tracks how many times a player has died, even has a seperate category for after marriage, for use with content patcher. You can see it here https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7517
Basically, the mod adds additional tokens that CP mods can use. There's quite a few, but I'm happy to write a smaller version with only the tokens you need.
I'm still relatively new to C# coding and I go to school full time so I can't create it in a hurry, but I'm happy to collaborate! Discord is @TheMightyAmondee#2515
But what if your spouse not only reacted to your death in the mines, but also had a different reaction each time you died?
(I hope this is allowed, I can delete if not: Hi, I'm the author of Spouses React To Player 'Death' and I'm looking for other interested modders to help me take this concept to a Ver. 2.0 because it's super out of my league.)
The mod's concept is straightforward in theory; creating a system of "heart events" for each "death" in the mines, where the events tell a chronological story of your spouse goin' thru it while you go do reckless things in the mines. Death no. 2 event dialogue would refer to death no. 1 event dialogue, and so on. Nothing too long, maybe like a 3-part story, at the end of which your spouse just accepts that getting your butt handed to you by slimes is just an unalterable personality trait of yours that they're gonna have to live with.
From what I understand, attributing a variable to "death" and giving it a "+1" with each death is something an API mod could achieve, and unfortunately, I only know how to work with CP, hence me putting this idea out to the community. I'd happily collaborate with anyone interested in this, perhaps to help write event scripts, but I'd also be willing to hand the project over if the person would rather do A-Z themselves. At the end of the day, I'm just in it for the heart-wrenching marital drama, regardless of how that is achieved lol.
(For questions or info, I'm also on Discord @/CasualInvidia#1235)
Thanks for checking this idea out!
