Re: Parallax Camera and "Drunken" Blur

Hey! For some reason, the parallax effect doesn't seem to work for me? I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. There's no error or anything, the background's just completely still. I'm using Ren'Py 7.4.10 btw. One thing that might be causing this is that 7.4.6 and later introduced a camera statement a...

Re: Can I use renpy.variant('small') instead of renpy.variant('mobile'), touch, pc, web?

renpy.variant('mobile') or renpy.variant('touch') will return true for tablets but not TV consoles (and also the mobile check in that is redundant and should be removed, since I don't know of any mobile phone that isn't also a touchscreen device). renpy.variant('small') will return true for TV cons...

Programmer looking for projects [Closed]

Hi everyone! I've been programming for years and love storytelling in all forms, so I'd love to work with some of you on your VN projects! I know my way around Ren'Py (and have even made some small contributions to the source code) and Python, so I can handle games with less traditional formats or h...

Re: Voice bleeps, yay or nay?

As Tremarl said, you can always make it optional - maybe even a whole volume bar, so players can adjust the volume a bit if they don't want to mute it entirely. I'd also suggest considering people like me who play on instant text speed; I always go for instant text speed and the first time I played ...

Re: ADV-Dialogue on top of NVL?

Oh whoops, I forgot that I also removed the lines for i in items: textbutton i.caption: action i.action style "nvl_button" from the nvl screen, since I wasn't using the nvl screen for choices. You can also remove those lines if you also don't need them, otherwise I'd suggest changing the l...
