Looking to convert a horror Graphic Novel to a VN

Hello all. I'm looking for a individual or team to take our graphic novel and build a great Visual Novel (PC, Mac, Mobile). It's our property and we have layered high quality visual assets as well as the text AND animated cut scenes. Yes, I've done a Ren'Py game (which is why I'm on this forum) but ...

Anyone does an iOS in-app purchase

I'd love to know how it worked for you. Been at this for some time. The debugger shows the item existing, but I don't get the price and I don't get the purchase dialog to come up.

Thanks.

The Climate Trail is close to a first release.

See:



There's been some changes based on suggestions (good ones) since.

If I can figure out how to get this onto itch.io, that could happen this week.

It will be totally free.

Any code examples of using bars for setting values of variables?

I'd like to use bars for users to set variables. Think of buying items, you would have a bar for each item. Each item would have a cost. You would only have a specific amount of cash. The user might spend half of their funds on one item, leaving them less for others. Can I adjust a bar based on thes...

Re: Doing a "Oregon Trail" type of game in Ren'Py?

I think you could easily do a game like this with Ren'Py. It wouldn't take too many advanced tricks or stretch the engine to do everything you wanted to do to match the gameplay of the original and do it with your own concepts and story elements. I love the idea. I played a lot of Oregon Trail on t...

[SOLVED] How best to implement a game loop and still have buttons etc.

So I need to have a game loop. In this case, the game is about traveling so the loop would be cover a journey over several days.
