All right, I can see robust and flexible.

Good luck with your project.

Beware, untested code. Have you tried something like this?: $ mypos1 = Position(xpos=0.1, xanchor=0.1, ypos=0.1, yanchor=0.1) $ mypos2 = Position(xpos=0.2, xanchor=0.2, ypos=0.2, yanchor=0.2) python: def textat(text, pos): ui.at(pos) ui.text(text) $ textat("Hello", mypos1) $ textat("W...

TBH that doesn't sound like it requires college-level programming experience. The prices you quoted are probably about right, though.

I think I would use "behind" when showing the second character, so that when it comes time to slide the first, the layering is right.

Do you think it would be less controversial to have a public rating system like the IF community has at the IFDB (which looks terrifically difficult to implement)? I think that's probably the best of all possible approaches. If the IFDB people can't be persuaded to share their server code, I would ...

Where are you looking for a download icon?

In addition to Mediafire &c., you can upload your game here to have it listed on renai.us and/or games.renpy.org. You may also wish to consider using an open bittorrent tracker to host your game in the swarm.

I think you want 'K_SPACE'.

I don't know if the main menu is a special case (though my gut instinct is that you don't want an imagemap, because there are separate tools for customizing the interactive parts of the main menu), but I've had some luck with full-screen-sized imagemaps that are transparent in the areas where I don'...

I wonder if this is acceptable in lemma's standards. I mean it is a management SIM... I... hmm. It isn't made in Ren'Py, and it doesn't obviously belong to the visual novel / dating sim supergenre. Is there a major romantic subplot? Is it in canon with a Ren'Py or ren'ai game (e.g., sharing charact...

I have a question about the keymap too. I want to make it so that clicking on an imagemap hotspot responds on mousedown_1 rather than mouseup_1. ( Because I'm crazy, I'm trying to use Ren'Py to create a Myst-style point-and-click adventure game. The conventions of that genre dictate that clicking sh...

Unlike a simple imagemap , which only requires a "ground" image and a "hover" image, a preferences imagemap takes five images to toggle between. In order of appearance, the five images are: nonhotspot or disabled hotspot, unselected unhovered, unselected hovered, selected unhover...

I don't know about the background and right-click screen. As for saving during the splashscreen, the splashscreen is what the player sees when the program first starts up -- that is, before they get to the main menu . Saving involves the use of the right-click screen, which contains a "go to ma...

Yeah, I see. Putting it all together, I think you want: label start: scene school $ player_name = renpy.input("What is my name, already?") $ player_name = player_name.strip() $ p = Character(player_name, color="#FFFFFF") " Ah, yeah, I remembered now, my name's %(player_name)...

Just take out the line:I put that in there because I didn't feel like writing code to get the player's name... :/

I assume you do have code already that gets the player's name? Or are you asking how to do it?

The name string in dialogue is interpreted literally; you can't put substitutions into it directly. The following seems to do what I think you want: label start: $ player_name = "tester" $ p = Character(player_name, color="#FFFFFF") k1 "Geez, %(player_name)s answer me !"...
