Hello all! Admin Scottie here.

So we're about 2 months away from Danganronpa V3's official Steam release now, and thought it was time we made it clear about how we're going to proceed with sprites going forward.

While editors are welcome to replace the black-background sprites we currently have from the PS Vita rips, when the Steam release of DRV3 comes out, official sprites with transparent backgrounds will be readily available (because Steam sprites do not have the black background). Because as a wiki we try, to the best of our ability, to work only with official materials, all DRV3 sprites will be replaced with the raw transparent sprites from the game assets as soon as rips are made available. This include all fan-contributed transparent sprites which are currently on the wiki. We will be doing this to ensure that what we have on the wiki represents the official content of the games.

Editors are welcome to continue contributing transparents up until the game's Steam release if they wish, but only do so in the knowledge that your work will not be on the wiki permanently. Having contributed transparent sprites to the wiki myself (I completed all of Sprites:Monophanie|Monophanie's sprites in May), I know the amount of time that goes into them, and I and the rest of the team don't want editors to start transparenting projects so close to release and get discouraged when they see their hard work replaced within such a short period of time.

We'd like to make it clear, though, that we have appreciated the contributions of everyone who has uploaded their transparent sprites to the wiki up to this point. We appreciate the time, care, and hard work that goes into them and appreciate you sharing those with the community until official versions are made available to all.

Thanks for your time! -Admin Scottie
