Fantasy Visual Novels that you recommend?

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well. So I've come here today to ask for some good recommendations on visual novels, as stated in the topic, of the fantasy genre. I have read Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night and Umineko no Naku koro Ni, and pretty much only those, which is really strange as I love t...

Re: How to make the first line of a menu dynamic?

You could try this: # A list with possible greetings for the bartender $ bman_texts = ["What's your poison?", "You thirsty?", "What would you like today?"] # pick one of them with renpy.random.choice and store it in a variable called t $ t = renpy.random.choice(bman_tex...

Re: How to randomly pick phrases, then change them

Try adding timer to the screen: screen loading(): timer 20 repeat True action SetScreenVariable('randomfact', renpy.random.randint(1,9)) As a suggestion, you could also rewrite that using a list of facts, and renpy.random.choice , that way you're not limited to 9 facts (you can add all you want) wit...

Re: expected menuitem

The code doesn't seem wrong, I suspect the error might be because identation, but it's hard to tell for sure since the code you posted is not formatted, it would be better that when you post code, you enclose it between code brackets, like this: [code] Your code here [/code] It will look like this: ...

Re: While Loop Causing Game To Freeze

As far as I can see, the while loop keeps going infinitely because you're not doing anything inside the loop to change the length of team_members, nor the value of x. When Python reaches a while loop, it stops there and executes the code inside over and over until the condition you provide it stops ...

Re: Learn Ren'py by using finished code. Bad Idea?

I usually try to divide my game into small parts, and list them in the order I want them to logically happen, and how would I represent that in the game. For example in a simple zero sum game like rock papers scissors, it would be something like: 1. Let the player choose their hand. (screen with som...

Re: A Conversation Simulator

I really like this concept, I actually had a similar idea for an Ace Attorney-like game not long ago, where the main character would interrogate people and dig out the truth out of them by observing their reactions to particular questions or pieces of evidence, but your conversation system actually ...

Re: Animation on Mouse Click and Position

I've been using something like this, for a different purpose, but with some adjustment it may be useful: image fire_bullet = "fire.png" #should be an ATL animation, I'm using a static image for testing screen test(): $ mouse_pos = renpy.get_mouse_pos() #set a screen variable to the mouse c...

Re: Weird question

There are no dumb questions, and yours is very valid, don't worry about it. Basically what you need to do is, open the Ren'Py Launcher, select the game you want to release, look at the right of the launcher window for a button named "Build Distributions", click it, some options will appear...

Re: Can I make the game always start up on a certain label?

Take a look here, you should be able to use one of the special labels described there, maybe after_load, or main_menu.

Re: Heart of the Party [BxG][Fantasy][Romance]

Very interesting, it's a nice take to focus on the slice of life parts of an rpg-like fantasy world while splashing out some action and adventuring. Characters seem really interesting and the art is excellent! Looking forward to this!

Re: Need help on improving my code with Players and Skills

Ok now that I figured out how this work I'm still in a second problem. Even if I have separated lists created this code will still decrease skill duration based on how many debuffs are in list no matter what player is affected. By this I mean if for example player1 and player2 get poison effect for...

Re: Need help on improving my code with Players and Skills

You expected a new [] empty list to be created for each Player, each time you called Player() , right? That does not happen in Python: the same and unique list is reused each time you create a new Player . Thank you for clarifying this, Rastagong, I had always assumed a new list was being created f...

Re: Need help on improving my code with Players and Skills

Ah, I think now I understand what you need better. I don't have renpy at hand at the moment so I can't give you a working implementation, but let me explain the logic a bit: Using the method I described earlier, apart from the skills themselves, you need to implement a way for their effects to be ap...
