Character Customization?

#1 Post by hikemaple »

I'm new-ish to Ren'Py so I don't have a full understanding of the code concepts, and really want to challenge myself. Does Ren'py have the capability to code main character customization? i.e: Hair, eyes, skin tone? Obviously I'd have to create the sprites for it, but how would I code that?

You can use Live Composite, where your final sprite is made from a base body + hair + eyes + mouth + clothing + whathaveyou...

Code: Select all

image eileen composite = LiveComposite(
    (300, 600),
    (0, 0), "body.png",
    (0, 0), "clothes.png",
    (50, 50), "expression.png")

There're many ways to do it, but if you're not in hurry, there'll be a better support by default in a few months.
