I'd like to echo Natani's original question. I've done some very minor editing to the Flexible Survival code in the past, and I've been able to compile and play the game (after some tinkering with Inform settings). If I try to do so now, I run into errors - the compiler wants images that it didn't previously need (such as "title.png", "FS_AlphaHusky.jpg", etc). The Github repository does not seem to include these image files.
It might be possible to extract the images from the official (downloadable) gblorb file, but I don't know how to do so. Amateur developers can create "placeholder" images with the appropriate filenames in order to satisfy the compiler (that's what I did, and the game seems to compile and run without complications). If there's some way of obtaining the actual files then that would be ideal - perhaps read-only access to the Google Drive mentioned by nukuv, or a downloadable .zip file containing the basic image-set.
Alternatively - is there a particular flag or switch in Story.ni that amateur developers can employ? Something along the lines of "I don't have the image files; I don't intend to play with graphics; please disable all such features and don't complain about missing files."
