Diary Entry Mode [It works!]

Hello everyone. I'd like to inquire about the best way to implement something that I'd like to work into Project 3 which will begin development soon. I'm not very familiar with more high level stuff in Ren'py so I would really appreciate any guidance. What I would like to do is implement a diary sys...

Re: The Boy Who Loved Crows (Our First Project)

Thank you for the comments. Really value them. ^^; I really didn't know the distinction between crows and blackbirds. >_< I admit that this wasn't as much of a thoroughly researched project. I can see where Papillon is saying with the layout elements for textboxes and such. I'll look into making som...

Re: The Boy Who Loved Crows (Our First Project)

Thanks

It's about 10-15 minutes for my reading pace. The intention was for this to be a small project to figure out organization and iron out development problems before we moved on to a bigger project (Noctua). The actual story went about 7 pages double spaced.

The Boy Who Loved Crows (Our First Project)

Finally going to release our first project that we've been working on for a year now. A story about crows and the theme of human / nature interactions. I hope you enjoy it.

[Writing] Methods of writing for interactive VNs

In terms of creating an interactive visual novel, what's the recommended way to write it? I've been doing everything in a word document as a complete story and copying over to the script. Is it recommended that I simultaneously write and program inside the renpy editor?

Re: Method of making games

If you can use RPG Maker, you can easily use Ren'py.

http://renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/tutorials/Quickstart

Start here with the quickstart tutorial. Renpy's syntax (the specific way the code is put together) is very much human readable, so follow that tutorial.

Re: need help with viewing subtitles

I believe Zoomplayer which is included in the CCCP codec automatically associates subtitle files with the video file if you give them both the same filename.extension (stuff.avi and stuff.ssa).

[Edit: nevermind. Looks like you wanted to encode the subs right into it. >_<]

Re: Help with game... content?

I gave the article a quick glance over, and I thought it was interesting. My current projects are linear and noninteractive, so I don't have as much experience with interactive game design. However, I'm not really sure I'd be comfortable working from one side to the other. The concepts and the verbs...

Re: Shouldn't Ren'Py games get out of the Romantic Genre?

Crows Project and Noctua are both drama. I'm not very good at writing romance stories.

Re: Silliness

That was my little project. Didn't expect for it to turn up over here. O_O;;;

BTW, this is not an official Feathered Melody Productions project.

I hope you all enjoy it and find a little bit of humor in it.
