Re: Marek Domagała – Composer

I can definitely recommend this composer, his work is high quality and communication and know-how are excellent. He always responded super fast and checked in every day to show me progress on the tracks he was working on. He also made sure we're on the same page regarding what I want out of the trac...

Re: [OPEN][PAID]Competent Proofreader/Copyeditor/Writer

After I was happy with Wolo's feedback on my previous game, I decided to hire him for editing my new project. He did this reliably and he left a lot of comments explaining his reasonings for more extensive changes in the script. The communication over discord worked well and he also gave me good fee...

Re: Gender and personality of the protagonist bias

I don't care what gender the PoV character is, in my opinion it's the genre and the author that matter here. The following assumes we're not talking about a blank slate character - those are the most uninteresting to me. the Genre: In a romance-focused story, I've come to expect certain stereotypes....

Re: Academy of Heroines [Supernatural][Drama][Romance]

I have to admit, Rosaline is a very close runner-up, especially with her new profile now. :'D
Macros brought up a very good point actually, I am also curious about the MC. I also prefer MCs with personality, so I'd be interested to hear more about this one's.

Re: Will config.replace_text affect performance?

I see, thank you for the insight. So it seems harmless. I just wanted to mostly replace all the "--" in my script with em dashes and this seemed like an easy way to do it. Perhaps I can find another way though (MS Word or something), now that I have my script all compiled in a single docum...

Will config.replace_text affect performance?

Hi! I recently discovered the config.replace_text variable in the Ren'Py documentation: def replace_text(s): s = s.replace("'", u'\u2019') # apostrophe s = s.replace('--', u'\u2014') # em dash s = s.replace('...', u'\u2026') # ellipsis return s config.replace_text = replace_text I want to ...

Re: Academy of Heroines [Supernatural][Drama][Romance]

I got here from you linking this thread in the Ren'Py discord server. So I already told you this, but I figured I'd leave a comment too. You've got a fun project here by the looks of it, I'll be following the development. It looks very ambitious, so I hope you will find the motivation and time to st...

Re: HATE is a 4 Letter Word [18+] [Object Heads] [Commercial] [MxM, MxF]

Since I posted this thread, there's been some progress that I'd like to share. The majority of the script is now written. About 90% of the content of the routes and the first ending have been finished. It was sent off to an editor, who will check it for consistency, spelling/grammar, and the like. T...

Re: How do you write "complex" characters?

Writing a character is mostly intuition to me. They seem to develop naturally over time from my initial, barebones concepts. But I do sit down and think about my characters every now and then. I think what makes a character confusing is giving them many contradicting goals and emotions, and having t...
