The app autosaves itself if you close the app, minimise the app or turn your phone off. By default, it also saves state, so the app will resume exactly where a player left it if they leave, such as to answer a call, or google a walkthrough 😜 (in some games, this behaviour is unwanted, but luckily ca...

You do this via buttons, right?
You can add a Hide("screen name") to the action. Just put a comma between actions.

If you give your screen an action that returns a _Return, the scren will automatically close itself, which is why I mentioned it depends on your screen.

This is just something I've read in the documentation/forums. I haven't actually ecperimented with it myself, so am unable to guide you in it.

What do you expect to see behind the sprites?
Are you positive the black isn't in the images themselves?
Did you save your PNG file with an alpha channel? If not, do you have access to the original artwork files, or not? If not, you can probably still create an alpha mask.

show screen or call screen
I'd go with call screen personally, but it depends on how you made your screen

You might be able to use the 'audio' channel as it supports multiple audio files at once. Stopping the file will be troublesome though. The documentation has no link, but this is what it says about it: In addition to the normal channel, there is one special channel, audio. The audio channel supports...

What you're describing sounds like a kinetic novel. Very similar to a visual novel, and at the same time, not.

If you think you can make it, do it. There are many good KNs around.

use label after_load

Rethinking this, you can use the notify screen as a stock screen and modify as necessary.
I just remembered I did this in a project to display an "achievement unlocked" animation when necessary.
I'll find the code and paste it here soon (TM)

If done appropriately, I enjoy such things. I don't play visual novels because they're visual novel, I play them because they interest me. How they are played, is mostly irrelevant in my opinion. If I'm being completely honest, I'm actually tired of the click to read text, choose an option to influe...

I meant the if a not b thing.

The suggestion you're using now works fine until you try to load an old save file

label start: if persistent.sa: jump socialanxiety if persistent.se: jump selfesteem if persistent.s: jump stress if persistent.whatareyoudoinghere: jump whatareyoudoinghere if persistent.normal: jump normal The code now looks like this; it STILL will not jump to the new point in the script. Every t...

There is a gui customisation guide somewhere in the cookbook. Its for the old GUI, but most of it still applies, with minor changes.
It might help, but as far as I am aware, no guide exists and its not something I have done myself.

You can achieve that with imagebuttons inside a vpgrid (or regular grid)
Or you can place frames in and style them and add a button.

I'd go with the first option, it's easier, but does add a few MB to your game.
