OKAY! I figured out how to write using Ren'Py! Yes I am very proud of that considering that I had just written about how bullheaded I am! Okay, so now that I get the idea it should be easier for me to figure out the rest - so thank you so much for that link! I had glanced at that page before but I couldn't figure it out. I get it now.

So once I actually have a project started and put together I could probably place a post about it, right?

Seriously, a lot of thanks! ~Kat.

You don't need all that much to post in the WIP thread - a title, some basic info about the plot and characters, and maybe some character sprites (even just rough sketches!). As long as you show that you have an idea of where the project is going and how to get it done, it can be posted in the WIP thread.

Even if your project doesn't fit this yet, it can always be posted in the Ideas forum! There's no real "minimum" amount of information that you need to post anything there. Also, if you're looking for help on your project, the Recruitment and Services forum is the best place to start looking for help. Best of luck on your VN! c:

Thank you Zelan, the information is very helpful! C:
I'm sometimes a little indecisive because I always hope I can make it better - so I tend to take forever.
Yet I want to do this, so I'll look for some help.

Again, Thanks ~Kat.

Yo, I've emerged from the dirt again, and updated my old art thread with new prices etc.

I was wondering if it was appropriate to bump it (assuming that's allowed?? It is technically an update) given I have another thread in the I Am An Artist catagory, though that one is about specifically offering to work for free for one project with limited offerings.

I'm sorry if I didn't read this right, but I have a problem with my code, where do I post that?

If you're talking about Ren'Py, you should go here:

Good luck.

If I want to know what part of a code does where do I ask that?
Like what does default book mean? Should I add it to make my visual novel a novel?
I'm so confused.

These sorts of questions can go in the Renpy questions and announcements forum.

As to what does "default book" mean, default is a method used to establish a variable, in this case, 'book'.
It goes in any file as long as it isn't inside a "label" block. For example:

Code: Select all

default book = "Harry Potter and the Intellectual Property Infringement"

label start:
    "You see a book. It's title is printed on the cover."
    "[book]"
    "You turn the book over twice to see the title has magically changed!"
    $book = "Alice in Wonderworld."
    "[book]"
    return

You could also do this:

Code: Select all

default book = "Harry Potter and the Intellectual Property Infringement"
label start:
    "You see a book. It's title is printed on the cover."
    "[book]"
    "You turn the book over twice to see the title has magically changed!"
    $book = "Alice in Wonderworld."
    "[book]"
    jump television 
    
default tv = "Tom and Jimmy" 

label television:
    "That's weird... You decide to put the book back and instead watch the TV." 
    "The TV is playing your favourite show, [TV]."
    return

Where should I post a message to request a username change? I'm fine creating a new account if need be as this one is relatively new, but changing usernames is preferable to leaving around an unused account.

I've been changing all online names from trigger_death to trigger_segfault, and it's been a tedious process.

I believe there isn't any way to do that on this forum.

Just in case, you could try messaging Pytom, the board admin.

Hey guys! I'm new here, so sorry for dumb questions that I can solve on my own with time...

So... I'm new here and new for Ren'Py. Or Ren'Py for me... And programming at all.
I'm creating a fan-based parody adult game and have ideas about couple original games (but fan-based parody is first priority). And if I already gained a little experience working with Ren'Py (developing the simplest short story, although I did not finish it and not upload it somewhere), then I had terrible difficulties with programming a more advanced game (custom gui, variables, etc.). Sometimes I don’t even know which lesson or section I need. And sometimes even to formulate the right question, so that Google understands me, is really hard for me.
I had bad experience of trying to communicate with more experienced people in social media groups, that related to Ren'Py, so this forum is my last hope for help, I guess...
So, my questions is: what should I do? Do I have to study the forum in search of information (which sometimes I don’t even know what exactly should I look for)? Or can I create a topic here that will be dedicated to the development of my game (or several games), where it will already be possible to communicate with people and ask questions?
Regards, best wishes and many thanks!

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Hello! I was trying to figure out where to post something in these forums.

In short, I'm part of an indie media company (we have published our own VNs) and we are hosting a Game Demo Contest. We don't want rights or anything, just to give the top 3 + runner up prize money to support their games. We wanted to make sure we get word out to any other VN creators, so we thought to post here! I was wondering if that would be appropriate to post in these forums? And if so, where?

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi, newbie here. I'm looking for help regarding getting my distro to work. Where should I ask for this kind of help?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2022 5:08 pm**

I've encountered a bug in the code of the forum itself. Where should I report this?
