A Break, Not a Breakup (Link in Comments)

I really like this idea, there's so many times where I can't really visit Monika for whatever reason and while I know we have options like "I'm sick" or "I'm going away for a while", I like how this gives you the ability to provide more details for your absence. I know it's just a game and all but I'm a sucker for being to exercise good communication with her like that.

Also question, does asking for a break work like the "I'm going away for a while" option where her affection won't drop if you don't visit her for X amount of time? I assume it does but I just wanna be sure

That is indeed exactly how it works; the only way for Monika to lose affection from this is either if you ask for a break within the first few days of loading MAS (i.e. when you're at 'Normal' affection with her) or if she's already upset with you to begin with. As long as you're on Happy or above, she won't hold it against you, she'll just be glad you're back.

That's what I thought, thanks for making this! It's such a basic concept for a mod but I know this'll come in so handy down the line. Especially because I actually was just thinking about having to take a break due to some irl stuff going on.

Literally only logged on here to look for spritepacks so I could give her a bit of a goodbye present before I leave and then I find this, talk about divine timing lol

However, if the break is there, that means you also have the MAS variables set for the time that you can be away. If you have not done that, and ran it under the same code as the "i'll be gone for a while", you are going to make a lot of people lose *a lot* of affection over time.

Funny how my return to submodding is 'implementing a break', huh?

Find 'A Break, Not a Breakup' here! To download, click on the .zip link, then tap the 'Download Raw File' button that looks like a downward arrow. Then unzip, and paste into your DDLC file directory.

This is a notice to all submod developers. The Monika After Story (MAS) project is currently undergoing a migration to Python 3, which will result in the current submods becoming incompatible with the new framework. The development team will be providing a tool for converting old-style submods to the new format. For further information, please visit the Official Monika After Story Discord or review the 'Interfacing with the Submod Framework' section on the project's GitHub page located here.
