Thanks for these explanations, and for the Grisaia hint. I have heard about it, but not read it. Will do so now. It seems like my guess about exaggerations was correct. That leads me to the question: if I model my NPCs like normal people, are they able to serve the drama qualities neccessary for plo...

Hi all, I am working on a VN where all the NPCs should get a relatively complex personality. For the moment I am using some of the typical western approaches like the "big five" character traits (OCEAN-model), or the archetypes by C.G. Jung. Established in the anime-world are the -dere-types (Yander...

I think I read somewhere in the manual that Ren´Py crops all image areas without information before processing (but can´t find it right now, sorry). That sounds good, because for me it would be very convenient to work with big image formats for sprites, which contain only about 10 - 20% content. The...

Hey, thanks for these insights, very interesting. My (maybe naive) perspective is that time isn´t that important for a VN, so the process time for the shaders shouldn´t be critical. On the other hand I am working on a system where every screenview is constructed by 30 - 100 sprites, so this may get ...

Can I get this part of the original image to HDD as a separate file, i.e. not within a savegame? Thanks in ...

Maybe I have to explain my question more in detail. Here are two screenshots taken from a running testgame, showing the same background image files. The first one shows a February night at cloudy weather, the second one noon in July, in bright sunlight. The difference is created only with the shader...

Hello everybody, at the moment I am exploring the im.MatrixColor-manipulators. It seems to be quite easy to construct a kind of lighting system which reflects the hour of the day, the month and also the weather situation graphically. So I need only one .png for each image (plus a handful for the cor...
