Making Insaniquarium Stupid For the Dumbest of People

Do you like Insaniquarium Deluxe? I Sure Do! Do you want to be a r0m h4k3r? y33t

This guide will be to show you how to make Insaniquarium Deluxe yours. Not like Purchase wise. But customization wise.

Part 1: Locating the Game Files

First off. Before anything gets done the first thing that needs to be done is we need to locate the games files. This can easily be done if you have the Steam Version

On the Steam Version you can do this

Go to Library and Select Insaniquarium Deluxe
Right Click and hit Properties
Go over to the Local Files tab and hit Browse Local Files

Now you should see a Windows Explorer window that looks like this

Part 2: Making a simple Intro screen

Insaniquarium Deluxe's Title Screen image is nice. No lie. But I think it could be better. So what is the technical specs of the image.

Image Type: JPEG
Image Resolution: 640x480
Bit Depth: 24
Filename: titlescreen.jpg

So as you can see we need to make an Image (or modify the original image) to match those specifications.

You can use whatever photo editing programs you want but I because i'm super professional™ I will be using Microsoft®Paint™ because that's what is built in to my PC.

So after some editing and l33t ph0t05h0pp1ng I managed to make the perfect title screen

So let's see how it looks in game!

it's NICE

Part 3: Various Graphics

A majority of the games graphics are in the .gif format with a bit depth of 8. (I was a bit lazy writing this and I didn't edit many graphics) but some graphics are in the .jpg format

You can edit these sprites in Paint or any other photo editor

What a average sprite from the game looks like

I'm no graphics person but yeah. Do some research on graphics editing lol.

Part 4: Music and Sound Effects

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This part is going to be challenging for some. Mainly because exotic formats

The Music in Insaniquarium is in the .mo3 format. No I did not mess that up. MO3. Which is a compressed format for Tracker Audio.

You are probably asking... What do I use to edit Mo3 files?????

Here is a small list of programs that can do that

OpenMPT

lol

basically. Google how to edit tracker audio

What about Sound Effects?

Make anything in the .ogg format

Summary

why did i do this
