Guide to contributing to the game
This is more of an index to contributing to the game. Contributions are not guaranteed and are subject to criticism, so don't be surprised or too discouraged should they not make it into the game.
For further assistance on contributing, go to the Yogstation Discord and ask there.
Ideas
If you have an idea you want implemented, consider suggesting it in Feature Requests on the forums or on the Yogstation discord.
If you want to suggest a bounty for Yogstation to put up, suggest it in Bounty Requests.

For an overview on spriting see our Guide to spriting.
If you're interested in feedback or are just interested in spriting, take a look at #spriting on Discord.
Coding
A code overview is available as well as a guide for experienced programmers. If you need further help, you can always consult our resident coders in #development-public on the Discord server.
The most successful coders will hang out with the rest of the coders and maintainers in the [coderbus server], making it a prime place to ask for help.
Mapping
A Guide to mapping is available. If you have any additional questions ask #mapping on the Yogstation Discord.
