[Paid] Seeking video editor for Kickstarter promotional video

We're looking for a video editor to put together the promotional video for Complex Relations' Kickstarter launch. Although the game is 18+, the video itself will not feature any NSFW content. Ideally, we're looking for a candidate who's a capable communicator prepared to discuss and offer feedback o...

Re: How to make a master volume slider?

Sorry for the slow reply, I was having trouble implementing this myself, but a friend of mine was able to successfully troubleshoot it and get it working, so I can confirm that this did work.

Re: How to make a master volume slider?

If I'm understanding what you're suggesting, this would create a slider which would simultaneously adjust all the other sliders, but what I'm looking to implement is a slider which acts as a multiplier to all the other sliders, so it adjusts the volume of all the channels up and down in the same pro...

How to make a master volume slider? [SOLVED]

I've looked around for info on this, but haven't found anything applicable in the documentation, but I feel like it must be doable. Does anyone know how to create a working master volume slider in Ren'Py? One separate from the music, SFX and voice sliders, which adjusts the baseline for all the volu...

Re: How to hide custom UI quick menu during screen transitions?

Okay, I was able to get in touch with a friend elsewhere who was able to help me resolve this. For future reference, the code works when it's formatted as- screen say(who, what): style_prefix "say" window: id "window" if who is not None: window: id "namebox" style "...

Re: How to hide custom UI quick menu during screen transitions?

And I *really* don't like the design of the custom Ren'Py quickmenu to begin with, but I lack the skills to make and code a new one. :) I don't even know how manually disable the quickmenu for transitions, like you mention. So my 'solution' was to disable the whole thing altogether with this simple...

How to hide custom UI quick menu during screen transitions? [Solved]

So, the game I'm working on recently received a full UI overhaul, finally graduating from an extremely long period with completely uncustomized UI. I'm really happy with how everything looks, except , unlike before when the game was using Ren'Py's uncustomized UI, the quick menu doesn't automaticall...

Re: How do you write "complex" characters?

I think the idea that complexity is built on contradictions doesn't really lend itself to helpful, actionable writing advice. Actually, I think that if taken at face value, it makes for pretty bad advice. The first character that brings to mind for me is Ivy , of Soul Calibur, specifically because o...

Re: How to decide your prices?

A huge part of the variation between artists' prices comes from circumstances rather than skills. One of the most skilled, and fastest artists I've known was also one of the cheapest I've encountered, because art was his full time job, but also his hobby, and he lived in a country with low costs of ...

Re: Love Interest Mentioning Past Relationships

So, on the one hand, I think it's true that readers who make a fuss over this sort of thing are only a vocal minority within the overall population. On the other hand, they're a minority that Japanese romance games in particular have been catering to for decades, so the genre kind of filters for the...

The ad in question is old, but it's for the better that you didn't hear back. The original poster was actually a scam artist and serial fraudster who was caught in the process of trying to embezzle tens of thousands of dollars from their most recent game project.
