I just spent the last 3 evenings playing through this absolutely excellent game. The writing is superb, bringing this bunch of very likable characters to life, whilst simultaneously sowing subtle seeds for what is to come when everything goes a bit off-kilter... Once the horror kicks in, I found mys...

Not sure if anyone else has already done this, but I like my text editors to have a 'dark' look to them, because after staring at a white screen for hours on end, I get pretty bad eye sore. Editra has a few nice dark themes built in, but they don't have the same coloring as Ren'Py's, so with a few s...

I've just learned how to do something similar so maybe it will help you. I think you should look into DynamicImages. You can assign a variable to your portrait, and after the player chooses an avatar, assign a number to it. First of all, say you have 3 different avatars to choose from, name them som...

Thank you Remix. I have implemented your suggestion of DynamicImage now and it works perfectly! It's exactly what I was trying to do in the first place. So now I have 2 images for my two distinct ship's backgrounds, named like so: "bg ship1.jpg" "bg ship2.jpg" Then I have this ne...

Thanks for the reply Errilhl. I changed the shipchoice variable to be a string as you suggested, so like this: $ shipchoice = "ship1" $ shipchoice = "ship2" And when I load the BG with this: scene bg shipchoice I don't get an error any more, but the background does not load, its ...

Hey all, Fairly new to Ren'py but loving it so far. Just ran into something complicated that I can't seem to figure out. I want to load a background based on a choice the player has made previously. Example, at some point, the player chooses between 2 options like so: menu: "Choose the Right Sh...
