On the topic of keeping music in the "background," what exactly does that affect? Dynamics? Music movement? Instrumentation? Certainly not just instrumentation... a piano sounds very different when Erik Satie is playing it than when Jerry Lee Lewis is. ^_^ One thing I'd specifically note ...

Personally, I never consider length. I go for what fits the mood. If you're using someone else's already completed music, that's definitely the case; at that point, you're stuck with what you've been given. (Of course, you can always ask the creator if they could do a longer/shorter version; they m...

I can offer my opinion, but I assure you it's nothing more than that. My basis for saying this is the handful of ren'ai games I've played, but also my experience with music in non-ren'ai-game environments. There are three major conditions that greatly determine the answer to your question. [1] It de...

Roger. I'm on it, PyTom. I'll try to get this done ASAP.

(Also, see my subtle edit re: naming conventions.)

I'll volunteer to take screenshots. My only foreseeable limitation is that I only have a Windows machine (unless there are any Amiga-only ren'ai games ^_^), so if there are any games that are Mac-only, I couldn't do those. Just give me the specifications (desired dimensions of the screenshots; what ...

This... is just... amazing. Where else can you ask a noobesque question before going to bed and wake up to find two good answers... which agree with each other... and without any snide mockery or counternoobance? I'm so... happy! (brushes away tear of joy) Thank you so much, monele and PyTom! I'll m...

Questions on rollback

I've written my first paltry Ren'Py script, and I've gotten so excited that I'm ready to jump with both feet into writing a proof-of-concept game. But even though I'm still on my first sheet of scrap paper (and, boy, do I go through scrap paper!), I've already run into a couple of issues I'm uncerta...

Speaking of music... know anywhere good we (okay, more like I) can get music from? (Preferably someone who'd be cool to let us use their tracks for freeware games) I really don't. I assume you're specifically not looking for a site like VGMusic.com, where all the music has been used in someone else...

if you want my fiftieth of a dollar, go ahead and get used to ren'py. there isn't anything against practicing whatever programming\scripting language you plan on using (...) in the rules (...) No, there's no rule about practicing the language, thank goodness. If I had to learn Ren'Py and write a go...

In a move certain to signal that I'm utterly nuts, I'm signing up for NaNoRenO... even though I've never made a ren'ai game before. I told this to Rio, who somehow still convinced me that I could learn Ren'Py in a couple of months and I'd have a group of fellow creators to turn to for morale and sup...
