Re: Ideas Dump

Okay, so I had this great Idea for a block-buster movie, but no film-studio seems to want to pick up on it. Okay okay. Imagine this, Hamtarou, (yes the hamster thing from the show/games) Riding two Orca Whales into the heat of battle (Nazi Germany flagships) with a lightsaber in one hand, and a gol...

Re: Converting day numbers into days of the week

Welcome to the forum! Firstly, if you use code tags and you can oreserve the spacing in your code, so it's easier to troubleshoot. Looking at your code... First, you've defined weekname twice, so it will immediately stop being a list and start being just "Sun". Presumably you need the list...

Re: Has OELVN development peaked?

Now "TV has peaked"? I'm sorry, but I feel that's a very shallow mindset. It may well be that you're seeing a pattern of stagnation in TV or any other medium, but to write anything off fully would be a mistake, in my view. You can't account for what progress might be made in the future, wh...

Re: If menu statement question

The greater than or equal sign in python is >= so you'd say
"I'll do this" if G_points >= K_points:

You could also say

"I'll do this" if G_points > K_points or G_points == K_points:

if you wanted, but why make it longer when you don't have to?

Re: How to make a question

As in my example; you can save renpy.input to a variable (in this case, pword). You can then check to see if a variable is the same as something, or if it is not the same: if pword == "Correct": #Do this if not pwrd == "Correct": #Do that That code would check to see if what they...

Do you want to make menu options, or have the user type in something? http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/reference/functions/renpy.input $ pword = renpy.input("Please enter the password.", length=7) if not pword == "default": "Error! Wrong password!" "GAME OVER.&q...

Try googling pygame. I found some games here:

Re: Question about Names and Diction

When saying you use thee and thou, do you mean the original form of ye and you for plural and thou and thee for singular, or the later method of ye and you for formal and thou and thee for informal? And do you use the correct verb endings (thou goest and so on on)?

Wow, that Unemployment game... $10,500 raised for a 2 and a bit hour RPG Maker game using almost purely the stock graphics and stock coding (battle system and so on)? He's added custom music, but still... For a commercial game, I'd really expect to see at least a custom tileset and sprites... And pr...

Re: Names without meanings

I remember an Agatha Christie book were the characters are discussing that it's a shame someone was named Helen, as she turned out very plain (the historical/mythological Helen being known for her great beauty). Maybe you could havea VN were everyone was the opposite of their names! Really, of cours...

Re: Will work as a quality artist! (Paid only~)

What are your rules regarding copyright? Do you also give permission for a commissioned piece to be copied (eg in a game)? Does it make a difference if it's for a commercial game or not?

Or do you maybe even sell the copyright to your pieces as well?

Re: What you enjoy from VN?

Which book? (Husband is scanning the shelves but not finding one with an inventory list that includes both Knife and Razor.) Realm of Chaos; it's okay, though, I found a Let's Play online that lists them (I was missing A Mallet, Rope and Rations). After drowning in the duckpond I'm inclined a littl...

Re: What you enjoy from VN?

I think that trial-and-error is part of the genre's charm. The name-brand 'Choose Your Own Adventure' series was in many cases pretty random, however there were a LOT of other gamebook series , many of which were far more internally coherent and some of which were intended to be played like a table...

Re: What you enjoy from VN?

Certainly, the cause and effect is often complete trial and error.

Go Left -> Die!
Go Right -> Win!

isn't too uncommon. I always keep a finger in the page with a decision point so I can backtrack easily.

Re: Cutting the code into different modules for ease of acce

That's exactly what I am looking for, right there. Is there any pointer on how the program loads codes in different script files? Or any tutorial I could read about this? I'm not sure of the specifics, but I believe anything in an init block (regardless of file) will run first. You shpuld only have...
