Re: How much narration is too much narration?

Perhaps I'm the outlier and this is bad advice, but I personally almost never have my volume on while playing visual novels so I would be careful about relying on auditory cues to tell people what is going on. I actually wasn't even going to put audio in my game but now you've got me rethinking it i...

Simple imagebutton that changes a variable then disappears?

I'm trying to add hidden items to my VN that give you shortcuts or secrets if you spot and click them. Imagebutton seems to be the easiest way to do this but I can't get it to work. I don't want it to do anything fancy and my VN is just a VN, not a point and click adventure in any way other than the...

Re: Make a game 1440P?

It's possible, look into factorscale and/or im.resize But it's also pointless as renpy will scale itself to fill the screen anyway. You're only going to introduce artifacts (ringing, halos, noise, and other generation loss like artifacts) by upscaling your images,. If somebody has a smaller screen,...

Make a game 1440P?

Is it a good idea to make my game in 1440P or should I stick with 1080? Obviously I want the images to be as high quality as possible and the increased file size isn't a big deal but I'm worried about scaling if someone has a small laptop or something since it looks like the text will get relatively...

Re: How to make one variable x different from a previously defined one?

Eh... You can't use number as a starting character for variable names or include special characters in its name such as `@`. That very basic foundation is found in almost all of the programming languages, not just python. default a1 = 0 # always default your variables and don't put numbers on the v...

How to make one variable x different from a previously defined one?

As an example, trying to make one person's age 2 years older than a different person to give freedom but prevent the user from making other dialogue not make any sense. $ 1_age = renpy.input("I am __ years old. (enter your age.)(default = 19)") if 1_age == "": $ 1_age = "19&...
