Your first post's example seems to be working for me on Ren'Py 7.4.2. Are you trying this on a newer version?

I would like to make one that is menu-based akin to what most Ren'Py-powered RPGs have done so far, albeit with stuff like DDR / Taiko no Tatsujin-like QTE system for dodging / using skills. Sounds like you want an RPG with rhythm game elements. In a broad sense, the more stuff you want happening a...

There is no one perfect way to do this, it really depends on how complex you want your battle system and gameplay loop to be. Ren'Py does allow for virtually any kind of system thanks to Python, but the more you stray away from the typical Visual Novel gameplay, which Ren'Py is highly specialized in...

The problem is likely what you're doing in this line: $ player = renpy.input("What is your name?", default="Traveler", length=15) It's assigning a new value to the already existing player variable, in this case the result of renpy.input() function. You're basically erasing the Character object store...

Thank you so much PyTom and the Ren'Py team for all of your hard work. Trying to run Ren'Py 8.0.0 on Windows 10, I'm getting this error when I try to set the projects folder. I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/project.rpy", line 629, in <module> File "...

I don't fully understand your question, but if you want to change the value of an object property, you can just assign the new value with an equal sign (=): init python: class Person(): def __init__(self): self.name = "Unknown" default john = Person() label start: "Default name: [john.name]" $ john....

Can't check the video right now, but what exactly are you trying to do here? You're using various pieces of code that shouldn't be where you have them right now. First is the init python block of code. This block is used to run pure python code, so it shouldn't be placed after label start, the code ...

I was wondering if it was possible to create self contained elements (Classes) with all the possible variables, and then let them unfold. So to solve the problem of 25 million things pointing to all sorts of labels and screen, - some of these issues are pretty janky to solve, at least for me - I wa...

That's a good start for your classes! I don't have access to Ren'Py at the moment to provide a working example but I'll try to explain (briefly) how the process goes and what you should look into. To make things interact with the player, in Ren'Py you need to use screens . These let you create an Us...

Short answer: yes, this is easily doable and objects and classes are a good way to go, if not the best. Though I say "easily", at first these concepts may be difficult to wrap your head around, but once you understand them it's quite straightforward. You'll want to learn about python objects, classe...

I really do want games with adult protagonists. Most of the cast in Zero Escape games are adults, with fleshed out backstories, actual jobs and knowledge that contributes to solve the puzzles and problems they face. As for my preferred type of game, I'd like to see more games like Shin Megami Tense...

This is simply awesome, I have no words.

Thank you so, so much for making and sharing this!

To add a bit of my two cents, I've also seen some VNs that are mainly told from the Main Character's perspective, but at some point change POV to another character, who then sees the MC, thus they appear as a sprite. It's not that unconventional, just not so widely used.

Sadly, I'm not able to make it work. Sensitive seems to be working for me. How did you declare allowInteraction variable? You should declare it with default statement and outside of a label. You can also try SensitiveIf() . Here's the code I used to test. default allowInteraction = 0 screen test: f...

This is something I've been considering myself. So far I'm all for releasing the complete game, even if it takes longer. The reason is pretty much what's been described above. There are certainly advantages to updating your game periodically or making multi-part games, but as a player I'm not often ...
