Finally, I think I've found an the ideal project to work on. A visual novel that has everything, BUT the coding done. I bet I can plow through this fast, since I have about a month of free time. I have a lot of experience with UI design and custom menus. I can usually make the UI look exactly like t...

This has been troubling me for a while now. Windows 8 is a sign that legacy applications are on their way out. The WinRT version of Windows 8 does not have the python interpreter ported to it, nor do I believe Microsoft will make it possible to develop applications using any languages other than C#,...

As someone who just got their first commercial renpy programming project last week. I'll tell you that charging by the hour isn't going to work. You need to charge a fixed amount and make sure your pay is proportional to the amount of work/time your going to invest in a particular project. You need ...

I'm working on an rpg and I need two health bars. The one on the left slides normally, but the one on the right needs to slide in the opposite direction. Is there a property of ui bars that does this that I'm not aware of. (I've read through the documentation, but I can't find anything that lets me ...

Okay, so I'ved worked on several non-commercial renpy projects before and have gained a lot of python & renpy scripting knowledge. I recently took on my first commercial project, but I am at a loss as to how much to charge for my work. The complexity of the work involves creating an RPG battle syste...

It seems like you could add a dictionary object to your protagonist class and associate it numbers with a string containing each status. Something like this: init -1 python: class protagonist(): def __init__(self): self.charm = 0 etc...... #dictionary object for heath status self.health_status = { 0...

I'll answer in reverse order.

You make a custom pause menu/screen that shows the player's current status.
As for the health system, I need more information on how it works. What causes it to change?

You _can_ use a movie as a background for the main menu: screen main_menu: # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced. tag menu add Movie(size=(800, 600)) on "show" action Play("movie", "shuttle.ogv") (Whether it's a good idea or not is another story.) I COULD KISS YOU!! ......but that w...

During battle: http://dl.c0var1ant.com/sc1.jpg Pause Menu: http://dl.c0var1ant.com/sc2.jpg Ooo, is that Monster Girl Quest that I see? I'm excited to know what this is all about. I'm working on a port of monster girl quest over to renpy, with an enchanted rpg engine. I go by the name c0var1ant and ...

Well, as luck would have it, I am working on a visual novel with an RPG engine in Renpy. During battle: http://dl.c0var1ant.com/sc1.jpg Pause Menu: http://dl.c0var1ant.com/sc2.jpg I'm almost done. The engine will have an item, equipment, skill, party, leveling, shop, exploration/(random mobs) system...

Thank you very much! Now I can move on with my story! *hugs* Thanks! A shucks...If you need help on how to implement a user interface for letting the user decide the beginning stats of the player before the story starts, don't hesitate to PM me. I have a lot Renpy & python programming wisdom to sha...

Yes that would be correct

This is easy to implement from scratch. If I was making this game I would start by creating a class with the properties containing the value of the stats. something like this: init -1 python: class protagonist(): def __init__(self): self.charm = 0 self.intelligence = 0 self.courage = 0 self.empathy ...

I was in the same boat as you were. I built a visual novel engine from scratch using Microsoft XNA studio 4.0. One of the things I was able to do was add a movie as a background in the menu. However, I can tell you with 1,000,000,000% certainty that you CAN NOT do that in Renpy. The best you can do ...

Thank you for your answer pytom. I hope that's a feature when ever you get to Renpy version 7.x. That would make Renpy the easiest, flexible and most powerful visual engine of all time.
