Yeah I definitely noticed this too. It's inefficient, but I've just come to terms with the idea of redrawing my MC after doing all the other sprites. It's useful to have some sort of placeholder, and I may as well use the character that I'll be drawing most to help set the style.

This sounds cool so far! Also, I like the art style in the screenshot a lot, always nice to see something different haha

Since I'm doing some deep dives into customizing stuff (well, probably not that deep, it just feels that way since the documentation is at times a little light) I think I'll use this thread to walk through my thought process and code a bit so that if other people are looking for examples of stuff ma...

Generally on the second pass, I'm looking for scenes that don't feel like they work. If I'm not excited about a scene, I try to cut it and replace it with something that has the same purpose but I feel more of a connection to. Additionally, I start thinking about places I can drop foreshadowing. If ...

Oh, cool! I was using your previous version in my VN, so I'm excited to look over the new one

Probably a bit of a late reply, but I figured I'd leave this here in case you're still struggling with it :) Even though it's a bit of a leap if it's not something you're used to, I'd recommend downloading this to run git via command line if you haven't already. There's some GUIs that people have ma...

I don't have anything to test compile on right now, so forgive me if this is wrong. I think you should be just setting your clock in a Python statement on (for example) the first line of your start block, so like '$clock = Clock(1,1)' (including the dollar sign Python indicator) You need to be doing...

^ Was my first thought too ('time' is a name I'd be cautious to use because many languages have a preexisting 'time' thing), but in addition to that, I notice that when you're trying to call the class function you use 'action Function(time.adv_time)'. This has another issue, but also Python is case ...

Christine Love did a talk at Visual;Conference 2017 with a piece of advice that really stuck with me. Basically she suggested that the sprite should change with every single line of dialogue, sometimes more. Not necessarily big changes, but even subtle little adjustments can make the game seem a lot...

This may be a bit of a tangent from the specific question asked by the OP, but some of the replies to this thread strike me as being detrimental to people who may be putting together a resume. In my computer science capstone class we had to make a resume and talk about it with our professors. The ge...

It's only partially relevant I suppose, but have you seen the recent AI Dungeon 2 stuff? A very interesting parser based experiment haha I feel like people have already hit most of the notes for what would be required out of a type and play conversational game. I agree that keeping it short would be...

Oh hey, first of all, congrats on publishing (what looks to be) your first game! Everything was really cute and sweet, which seems fitting for the Yuri Game Jam haha. I just noticed you have a soundcloud, did you make the music yourself? If so, that's definitely something I think you should mention ...

Hey, congrats on getting a demo put together and sharing it with people! That's always a great first step to take as far as making a game goes, and it can be harder to put yourself out there than people would expect haha. Even without the art/music assets, I think there's still a lot you can get out...

First of all, it may be helpful to people reading the thread if you wrap big chunks of code in a code tag! Otherwise it can be a little hard to read. (For example, your error says it's on line 61, but without line numbers it's hard to tell at a glance where the issue is) Since I'm on my phone and ca...
