Re: Changing fonts only in specific areas

This is my first VN, and I'm getting the hang of things pretty quickly, but a detail I'd really like to include is having the characters names presented each with a different font. The rest of it can stay as one single font but I want the names of the characters to feel like their 'signature' you k...

Re: Where's waldo/Hidden object minigame

So in my vn I'd like to have a segment similar to the Where's waldo or hidden object game, but in my vn you have to find the right item on the screen. So what I want to happen is there'd be items scattered all over the background. They'll be an imagebutton which you could highlight while hovering o...

Re: X-ray effect around cursor?

Is there any possible way to create an X-ray effect around the cursor, i.e. when the cursor hovers over an image, part of the image is made transparent revealing a different image underneath? But only for a radius around the cursor. I can't seem to find any info about this online and don't know if ...

Re: Failed to insert pygame minigame!

help me! I don't think you can run a pygame game directly in a ren'py game. They work differently. Possibly you could open a pygame game from within a ren'py game and have the pygame run in a separate window as a pygame window. I think that to include a game made in pygame you need to rewrite the c...

Re: Window() is not displayed when text value includes Unicode - seeking solution or workaround

I am using Long Live the Queen -style "bubbles" in my game to show stat changes and other information. The bubbles are small screens that move up the screen and fade away, and they work just fine. I wanted to add up (↑) and down (↓) arrows on either side of the bubble text when a stat has...

Re: Selectable side image?

Hello! This is something I want to try out for a game in the future, but I have no idea how to do it. I like to have side images for my MCs, but I'd like the side image to be determined by choosing male or female version of the MC. So if male, you see the male sprite, if female, you see the female ...

Thanks for the replies! I changed "$currentPage = passedPage," but I'm still having the exact same problem: the "Return" button works but doesn't highlight when hovered, whereas the "Next" button highlights but does nothing when clicked. I'm not concerned over how to m...

Re: Need a second set of eyes on my code. Trying to make buttons that switch screens.

For my own education in Ren'Py, I'm coding a prototype that's supposed to advance one at a time through pages of images. (Currently, the images are represented by a placeholder called "squarey.png.") Like a gallery, but all the gallery tutorials I've seen use a list of different pages you...

Re: Beginner Trying to Change Fonts

I'm trying to change the font for the game but can't get it to work. I've put the .ttf file in the game directory and changed the gui code accordingly, but the default font is being used instead. I know I'm missing something and have read through the documentation a couple times now and am clueless...

Hi all. I've started using Ren'Py recently and am making a little text based game at the moment, just to learn a bit about how things work. I'm not a coder, so I apologise if I'm missing something obvious. The game has some open world parts where I want to stop clicks from progressing the game, wit...
