Re: Western and Eastern Games

I've been looking forward to their exploration of this topic. I love that they included the fact that some of the companies started with VNs and how that probably informed the way they handle narrative. (J)RPGs and VNs are what have, time and again, brought me back to the dream of making games. The...

Re: Inventories - I need a walkthrough

I'm pretty new to Ren'py, but here's my interpretation of the code: init python: showitems = True # variable showitems is set here. This line must be before "if showitems:" line or there will be an error #missing init of items! add the next line: items = [] # this variable stores the item...

screen language help

Hi, Apparently i find that screen language is very nice to use (and i use it with imagemap function). But is there anyway to combine 2 imagemap in 1 screen? Like this example: I have this picture as an imagemap: http://sadpanda.us/images/860039-PQTHO8R.jpg And the second one only have a sword in bla...

patch game?

Hi there,

I just wonder if Renpy allow patching (You release a game, and then you offer a patch for others to install and improve their game so that they don't have to download a full game again)? This will help me a lot if i make any mistake in making my games.

Thank you very much

Re: Just my question about the market

Because most people here don't read or speak Japanese well enough to make a Japanese game, and because the Japanese Visual Novel market is already saturated. I.e. You don't go to a mountain spring to sell bottled water to people, you go to a desert. I understand your point. Actually i know most peo...

Re: Asking about the web hosting

Some companies host adult content. Some only accept it for specific, slightly pricier plans. Even those that accept adult content will have restrictions on what they will host. Getting a blog is probably a good idea. It is very simple to set up, and the format lends itself very well to constant upd...

Re: Asking about the web hosting

@ kenobihiro Using a Webhosting company means you cannot host any adult content on the site what so ever. You can try using a computer as your own server, but that gets a bit messy. On a side note, hey, I found another Laotian on LSF. Awesome. I'm Laotian by the way. Oh great then =D. Nice to meet ...

Re: Asking about the web hosting

First question: Where are you? If you live in the US, you have literally hundreds of options to choose. In Europe, there are handful of good companies. In other countries, a lot fewer. In some countries, your only viable option is Paypal. Second question: do you have an audience? If you don't, it m...

Re: Asking about the web hosting

I use a webhosting company named Inmotion Hosting. They are really reliable and I really recommend using them. If you need to host a website, I can host your website for you. (Probably @ $2.50 a month) On my hosting plan, I can host up to 6 websites, but I only have used two of them. I recommend OS...
