Developing a very large project like Ren'Py

Hi Pytom. As a fellow Python dev, I'm pretty interested in how you manage to code on such a large python codebase... without breaking everything every now and then due to it being a large Python codebase. What kind of dev practices do you follow that help to mitigate that kind of thing? From some ca...

Re: Advanced particle-based special effects?

Thanks for those replies - very useful information 8) - Soraminako - thanks, saved 8) . I have used image dissolves before, they're pretty cool (eg: combine dissolve with image dissolve for screen transitions). Though dynamic pixel warping or updating effects (heat wave, water ripples, fire effects,...

Advanced particle-based special effects?

I'd like to check this quickly. I know that Ren'Py has a particle system, but it's mainly for animating (lots of) regular Ren'Py sprites. But is it possible to get more advanced graphics-processing effects too, or a good approximation? For instance: - Animated fire effect (like you'd see in a lot of...

Re: Missing link on wiki

Thanks for that info. I'll forward the link along.

By the way, do you know if it's fine to re-host some of that stuff (that's useful to people besides Lemma), or to update the links on the wiki to point to the internet archive. Or whether Lemma prefers those things to stay (mostly) offline?

Re: Question: Will renpy ever have a GUI?

If PyTom wanted to commercialize Ren'Py a bit at some point (to let him spend more time on it), then features like a gui editor or a text editor plugin might be interesting additions to the non-free version. Or perhaps better integration with "professional" IDEs like visual studio, photosh...

Re: Working Towards 6.14

The next release sounds pretty interesting 8) In terms of a business plan, you might consider dual-licensing Ren'Py, or some Ren'Py-related services? The wiki article is over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-licensing eg: MIT for free/non-commercial use, but a fee for commercial use. Does Re...

Re: blind protagonist?

This topic reminds of this animated YouTube video about a girl going out for a walk through town, and having her bag stolen:

Software updater for Ren'Py games?

I'm not sure if other people have this problem: Sometimes a VN is a work in progress, but you're still releasing it to testers. Or perhaps it's chapter-based, and you release new content periodically. Or perhaps the game is being co-developed, and you want to share updates. Either way, you need to g...

Re: Do you visit lemmasoft everyday?

I probably only come here every few months, when I'm working on a VN fan project and get really frustrated with Ren'Py issues (after spending hours in the docs, renpy source code, searching google, experimenting, etc). I mainly come here as a last resort and vent a bit of my Ren'Py-related frustrati...

Re: ATL making other things obsolete?

I like ATL a lot too, and like to use it where I can. Thanks for those examples :-) My problem with ATL is that a lot of the time it doesn't seem to want to play nicely with non-ATL code, especially when I need to do more advanced things (eg: inside python code sections). Or if it's possible, it doe...

That artwork is really nice 8). I thought it was a high quality anime screencap at first.

Re: Guestbook

I've been around for a while, but I don't think I've introduced myself before. Normally I just post walls of text when I have a Ren'Py problem, or bother PyTom and some other regulars here. Thanks for being patient with me. So I think it's about time to introduce myself here, and possibly get a litt...
