Re: Should choices be omitted when there are no POV characters?

Thank you for the very astute reply! From story telling perspective the choices are not at all essential in this case. They would just add more interactivity and (hopefully) feeling of involvement, which could make the story more interesting to the reader. I know it's hard to give a detailed answer ...

Should choices be omitted when there are no POV characters?

My current project is at a point where I need to decide whether it will be pure kinetic novel, or have some choices that affect some aspects of the story. There can't be many of them, and/or they can't be major simply to keep the scope manageable, but the reason I'm thinking it could be best to omit...

Re: AI generated VN – first experiences!

This is a very interesting topic, and I'd like to follow the news posts, but unfortunately the web site is currently unreadable. Text cropping does not work correctly (my guess would be this is due to overlong code example lines breaking the layout), and as a result the white text spreads out to the...

Somnium [Sci-fi, Mystery]

https://i.imgur.com/2XjiMVV.png BACKGROUND I've been working on two other "main" projects. With the first one I hired people to do different aspects; it was especially hard to find artists who would be committed to the project, and after a while I ran out of money. That project will be co...

Re: How to disable hover_sound of a textbutton on a specific screen?

Thank you for the answer! I'm not quite sure how to use it to solve my question, I probably just don't understand it. :oops: Nonetheless, I currently solved the problem like this: textbutton _([preferencestext]): activate_sound "audio/blip1.mp3" action ShowMenu("preferences") if ...

How to disable hover_sound of a textbutton on a specific screen?

I'm using the default Main and Game Menu Screens. I've added hover_sound and activate_sound to the textbuttons. That works otherwise nicely, but the hover_sound activates also in cases where the hover colour does not. For example, if the user is on Preferences page and hovers over the menu textbutto...

Re: Does renpy.random.randint not work inside options.rpy?

define executes in init phase. Rest of code you wrote executes during normal script execution. Your code is equivalent to: Place all your code inside init block if you want it to execute during init phase. Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately I don't know how to do that in practice. What should ...

[Solved] Does renpy.random.randint not work inside options.rpy?

I'm trying to have a randomly selected audio file play while the player is at the main menu. However, for some reason I can't get the random selection to work there. The last option is always selected. Is renpy.random.randint not supposed to work inside options.rpy , or am I just making some daft mi...

Re: Visual Novels and serious literature?

I always recommend Ever17 -The Out of Infinity-, it is one of the best sci-fi stories I've read in any medium. Unfortunately the studio behind it has long been defunct, so tricky to find. Lucy - The Eternity She Wished For - was the first visual novel I ever read, and it originally convinced me that...

I have currently two different sprite styles, and I'd need to pick only one or the other. The sprite styles are as follows: Old sprite style: https://i.imgur.com/0ow2Hh4.jpg New sprite style: https://i.imgur.com/SuhJH4y.jpg To me, both sets have pros and cons. Old set looks a bit more "crude&qu...

For example, choice buttons: I'd like to have my choice_idle_background.png to fade out and simultaneously choice_hover_background.png to fade in when user hovers over a choice button, and the gui.choice_button_text_idle_color to ...
