Experienced writer, looking for a mid-sized project to join.

Submissions are currently closed. Greetings. ^-^ My name is Zodai - I've been involved in writing since late 2011, and involved in Visual Novels for three or four years as well. Nothing I've been involved in has yet come to fruition, so seeing as I'm freed up again I'm looking for a project to join...

Re: volunteering for a job!

Deviltales, I'm currently attempting to get a small group together for an episodic series. While I don't have a clear set of scope for the whole series, the first episode in and of itself shouldn't be too art-intensive, three to four characters needing art according to current estimates. Backgrounds...

Re: Particles not showing using SnowBlossom

show rain scene black with Dissolve (8) There is nothing between 'show rain' and 'scene black', so the rain is never visible, because you immediately remove it with 'scene black'. EDIT: Some explanation as to what 'scene' does might be in order: basically, it's the same as 'show' except it first hi...

Particles not showing using SnowBlossom

In attempting to create rain for an early scene, it seems I cannot get the particle to show up on the screen. The engine does not show any errors when the game is put into motion. http://puu.sh/9uiP7/f0ef3d8662.png This is the code I grabbed from the wiki, as it's not a function I'm experienced with...

Issue involving music, main menu and backlogs

Hello, Zodai here. With the addition of a picture/music to the main menu of my game, I decided to make a short intro in order to blend into the previous beginning scene. However; the intro shared music with the main menu. Once you get to the next scene, using the backlog results in the music from th...

Yeah, I just ended up figuring that out. The difficulty was in figuring out how to do that xD

Is there any way the old persistent data can be deleted with the update?

Re: Release build with Text Speed

In options there's a place where you have to set default text speed. Changing the slider on your end just changes it for you. It appears I've misread your response. I've changed the default text speed in the options; that's what the Alpha release was about. People who played it before the Default T...

Re: Release build with Text Speed

UPDATE

New players get the character-by-character type, as normal. So it does indeed have something to do with the persistent data.

Re: Release build with Text Speed

UPDATE

It seems changing the text speed from their end removes the pauses entirely. As a result, changing text speed from the player's end is not a solution.

Is there any way to fix it by default?

I wouldn't want to hassle the players...

Release build with Text Speed

Hello, Zodai here. I've recently figured out how to edit text speed as opposed to it being instant. As a result of outstanding variables, I have a large base of alpha-testers. It seems that there is a bug where, despite the game working fine from my point - the text appears instantly when sent out; ...

Re: Using {p1} as shorthand for {w=0.5}?

There isn't an easy way to add your own text tags that function. (As opposed to updating style information.) What you can do is define a variable: define p1 = "{w=0.5}" and substitute it in: "This is a [p1]short pause." Which should give a similar effect, and be easier to type. ...

Using {p1} as shorthand for {w=0.5}?

As {w=0.5}, and additionally {w=0.25} are honestly quite tedious to write multiple times over in the making of a game - as a result, I have been trying to code in {p1} as shorthand equal to {w=0.5}, and {p2} as shorthand to {w=0.25}, but I have been unable to find anything on this subject. Could I g...

About music & sound files.

Hello, Zodai here. I know that Renpy supports the .ogg, .mp3, .mp2 and .wave formats for sounds. However; I do not know of any MIDI generators with these formats that I can use to generate music. Does anyone know of these? Also; where can I get the "Godawful-beeping-sound.ogg" listed in th...
