Re: OmOnkeo milestone/progress - and Blender modeler needed

Most of the team is volunteers, but we can negotiate payment for this position.

"Show text is behind BGs

I'm using

Code: Select all

show text "text" with slowdissolve
    $ renpy.pause ()

but it is appearing under the BGs.

(It doesn't like zorder.)


I'd like for the text to appear on top of the BGs. :D

Any ideas?
THANKS!

Re: Overwhelmed with trying to organize all the tracks into where/when each should be used...

Restarting the process now and organizing by:

- Characters
- Passage of normal idle time
- Introduce premise
- Premise tension (feels bad but helpless / outcome is unknown / hubris)
- Fail (or)
- Succeed (Character?)

Overwhelmed with trying to organize all the tracks into where/when each should be used...

The area I'm weakest at is trying to organize the OST tracks into mood/motif and where/when each should be used... Some are obvious where they should go in the story, others are wildcards. At the moment I have them as - Character - Serious mood (universal) - Regular passage of idle time - Other the ...

Re: KotoriMWorks's Professional Video Editing Services (Updated on 3/21/22) [OPEN]

I haven't been active on the forms for A LONG time (no life whatsoever outside of working our game), but I have to take a moment to give a huge 600041245988880384.gif to KotoriMWorks. An idea popped in my head for an animation - more of a whim and not 100% sure we'd even use it. I pitched the idea t...

Re: HARK! What size, these Sprites???

Appreciate the feedback.
This will help!

The large size is just what the artist provided,
which is going to work out very well

as I'd like to give everyone on the team tshirts once we're done!

HARK! What size, these Sprites???

OK, maybe it only feels like a Shakespearean dilemma...

Hey everyone,
I have a bunch of Sprites that fill up 6000x4500 px canvases.
Obviously, that's too big.


What size are the sprites in your VN?


Thanks for the help.
:)

Re: Coders: question on Sprites...

If you're using layeredimage anyway, I would personally find it more useful to have completely separate images for each layer Ideally yes, but unfortunately some things got flattened. So with several sprites, we're limited in what we have available without completely recreating it. The way we're do...

Re: Coders: question on Sprites...

I've seen this method used a lot with mouths/eyes and occasionally arms but have to say that cutting in half completely is new to me. As Imperf3kt points out, it'd be great for saving space. The only downside I can think of is finagling code if you're new to it (as I believe you said in the first p...

My take as well.

I think the one point that they make is by doing whole sprites, you really focus on what is needed
and that can help give each character unique personalities.

Coders: question on Sprites...

Hi there, I'm lead dev of OmOneko . The 1st VN I discovered was DDLC. I don't know code, but I've done a lot of work for several DDLC Mods and indie VNs (BGs, sprite edits, script editing). DDLC chops up the sprites to save on total assets. Like this . So that's how I've always worked with them. For...
