Re: Best way to add patreon-only content to your game
Either way -and this may be considered as a technical Renpy question-, would there be any way to make some sort of redeem code without platforms like GOG with accounts being involved? A code that once used, no one else can use it? It seems impossible, since one build is the same for everyone and ca...

Re: Best way to add patreon-only content to your game
As to steam not allowing adult games on their platform, I don't know why this comment was mentioned or is even relevant, but it is incorrect. Steam also allows Adult games on their platform, however they do have more restrictions regarding obeying the various laws around banned content. It's releva...

Re: Best way to add patreon-only content to your game
I've never dealt with Patreon as a game dev, but I think most devs who do use it rely on trust. They trust that their patrons won't leak exclusive content. And if a leak does happen, their reaction is usually reactive, not proactive. I assume this "solution" won't satisfy your needs, so le...

Re: Ai writing VNs?
Although – this is Lemma Soft, a place on the internet where people are probably more reflected on average... I couldn't agree more. The mods do a great job of maintaining this community and keeping the toxicity out. They should be proud! Of course in all of these cases, the judgment depends on our...

Re: Ai writing VNs?
Not so scary at all. Or at least as frightening as a typewriter must have seemed to calligraphers or a motorized loom to hand weavers. AI is just another tool. It will not replace talented people, only make them more productive. This is how I feel too. If you look into how modern AIs are made, you'...

Re: Creating CG and screen size resolution
CGs are usually the same size as the game's resolution, in your case 1920x1080. If you want your CGs to encompass the entire screen, including the area behind the text box, you're going to have to use all of your resolution. On the other hand, I've also seen VNs which have smaller "insert CGs&q...

Re: When the good ending isn't the longest/last ending
Ah, I guess I was more worried about the 'good ending being shorter than some of the bad endings' part than the flag part. Because all of the VNs I know about seem to have the best ending be the 'final' ending (like Steins;Gate), and when the game ends 'prematurely', it's always a bad ending (or at...

Re: When the good ending isn't the longest/last ending
In my opinion, this seems like a good idea on paper. I can't really say more than that, as kind of it depends on your execution. I know this is probably obvious, but as long as you don't make finding those flags a chore, I think you should be fine. I say this because the only VN I can think of that ...

Re: How is it called the one who helps you with SFX and Voice Actors?
It sounds like you're describing two different jobs: a voice director and an audio editor. Voice directors are rather specialized, so you probably won't find anyone with that skillset here. I suggest recruiting someone off of Casting Call Club . I've never used the site to find directors, but I know...

Re: Regarding VN game flow
I'll start with the question: would you, as a player, like to have a way to do everything right in a single playthrough, with good choices and a bit of luck? Or would you be okay with multiple playthroughs to see everything? When a visual novel has multiple endings, I believe that multiple playthro...

Re: Question to those of you who have published on console!
I haven't published to consoles (or published anything at all yet :(), but I thought I would mention that Nintendo actually allows devs to publish their games to the Switch as private individuals. No company or publisher required! https://developer.nintendo.com/faq Xbox has a similar policy under th...

Re: connecting a webcam to an AI application with Ren'py (or python) , is it possible?
Probably not, see this post by PyTom. https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=48593&p=480369&hilit=Camera#p480369 (I seem to recall a more detailed post stating why it was technically infeasible, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly) At this point I think that the bette...

Re: Tsundere - heaven or hell?
Unlike many people, I've yet to encounter a character that I disliked simply for being a tsundere. So, I would personally err on the side of "kawaii", but I can certainly see why tsunderes are annoying to other people. If you go too far with their prickliness, your character will appear to...
