Update 1 Minor update this time as the last two weeks hit my freetime in the face with a baseball bat. I did manage a [small musical loop for a friendly fat raben who you meet towards the end of the game. Soulshine will follow in the footsteps of other RPGs and giving each character their own uniqu...

Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot to me and is a great help! For Zelan, Does the premise interest you? What part grabs you the most?: It does! The war itself is what intrigues me the most; I'm curious about what started it? Yes, the war is exciting! It was put in motion when a group of monster...

A separate POV for the prologue is fine, and is often done in novels and movies. Same with epilogues. Just be careful about changing it later on. If you've done only one POV throughout and you suddenly switch it is jarring and breaks immersion. This is because you've established a pattern and have b...

You can try creating the screen you need and sticking it out of the viewing area. I had to do a similar thing to display an empty choice menu. screen choice(items): window: style "menu_window" if show_menu: # This is a variable you set elsewhere # normal menu code here # If we don't show t...

You can generate menus based off a tuple list with renpy.display_menu . Ninja Edit: The menu function you use does the same thing. For both you must give a list of tuples. The first value of the tuple is the text for the button. The second value is what the button returns when you select it. label n...

I've recently had some headaches with Ren'py overwriting functions when passing keywords to labels. For example, I have a JRPG-esque battle engine. I define a function to start a battle within Ren'py. # File: tern_functions.rpy # This functions are used only in the renpy script. init -19 python: def...

Huh, that's weird. Hopefully you solved it by now, but in case you haven't, do you have your game split up into multiple rpy files? I have my game split up into many rpy files. IIRC I had your same problem once because 1. Had the init priorities mixed up in file_1.rpy. 2. Ran the game and because of...

You can add a number after init to set the priority.
Here the init -2 block should run first, as the priority number is lower. If you don't put a priority number, then it is set to 0.

If you make your own versions of the notify screen you can have two at the same time. It's only the default notify that there must be only one of. How many different types of points are you going to have? If it is a few then my solution or trooper's would work fine. But if you will have many differe...

I only have time to glance at your code right now, but I believe you are having problems because there can be only one notify at a time. "Only one notification is displayed at a time. If a second notification is displayed, the first notification is replaced." - The documentation What my co...

Ren'py lets you to directly program in python and pygame. Considering you already have the shooting game, it should be easy to put it into renpy and then make the visual novel parts with renpy. (As long as you aren't using lots of unsupported libraries...) Honestly, renpy may be the best choice of e...

I'm not exactly sure what you were trying for in your code, but here is a quick way to do what you want with the default notify system. Explanation is commented in with the code. default fupk = FuckingPointKeeper() init python: class FuckingPointKeeper(object): # Init all points to be 0. def __init_...

The notify function does this. If you want to be extra fancy you can create a function to automatically add the points and notify. init python: # This class keeps all the points, # allowing the variables to be acessed # in functions. class PointKeeper(object): def __init__(self): self.np = 0 # Make ...

I'm been working a few months now on a text-based rpg, so perhaps I can give some insight. I'll need text scrolling in windows for a text rpg... If you mean text popping up one letter at a time like in traditional rpgs then Ren'py has a characters per second setting . (It might be hard to make chara...
