When you play the game, it constantly does little saves in certain points. You can then load those saves to restore game to some previous state. That what rollback does. [...] If your goal is to dismiss a say statement, you just need to end current interaction. Which can be done with Return() actio...

I don't want to keep being presumptuous, but even if you need the effect a lot, that does not mean that you will need a lot of different variants of it. So think about whether 1, 2 or maybe 3 well designed shake effects will be sufficient for your game. I would still be surprised if they are not. Th...

I see two possibilities: 1. The easy & ugly one: just do not use repeat, but copy-paste and adjust to your liking. 2. The maybe more elegant, but way more complicated one: define a variable shakiness that multiplies with rate, and change it over time while the screen is running, e.g., by using a...

I would like to add a screen with the RollForward action that basically allows to skip to the next say screen: screen manually_continue: textbutton "Continue!!!": action [RollForward()] However, if that part of the game has not been played yet, rolling forward is disabled. Is there any way...

In the newest version of Ren'Py there are speech bubbles! I haven't tried them out, but maybe you can use them?

Sorry, but that's not what I want: I want the player to roll back to the last pause, then have the option to roll back further or not. I do NOT want to prevent them from rolling back further!

I have a fairly long cut scene in my next game. It's based on commands like pause 20, and in between text is spoken and animations happen. It's possible to skip it. (I've added a screen for that.) When you want to go back, however, you can only roll back before the scene, since rollback goes back to...

Thank you!

Sweet Science – The Girls of Silversee Castle https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMjMxNjg2Ny8xMzcyNjcxMS5wbmc=/original/mKWkYG.png A beautiful visual novel that entails all what we love: quirky characters, hilarious slice of life, cool science fiction, nostalgic retro-vibes and cute romance with nerdy gi...

Leonardo da Vinci wrote that one way to get an idea for a painting is to take a sponge, soak it in paint and then throw it against the canvas. The spot it left would act as the starting point that ignited the creative process. Reminds me on how AI image generation starts with some random noise on t...

It's not exactly blindingly original. Anybody with a reasonable amount of experience with the tools and the genre could have made this in 15 minutes. Yes, of course, for everybody on this Forum this is trivial. But now imagine you have no coding experience whatsoever. Ren'Py makes it easy for you a...

Wow, it's interesting how positive the comments are on this! Comparing with how much backslash AI art usually gets, this surprises me. Although – this is Lemma Soft, a place on the internet where people are probably more reflected on average... I'm not sure about a lack of creativity of AI though. I...

Today, I've played around with ChatGPT and asked it to write the beginning of a (pretty generic) VN. Here's the reply: Certainly! Ren'Py is a popular visual novel engine, and I can help you get started with a simple scene using Ren'Py script. In this snippet, we'll set the stage for a high school ro...

Thank you, but unfortunately, this does not really work. The reason has been meanwhile pointed out by robcolton on reddit: Safari on iPad presents itself as a Mac by default, so the “touch” variant isn’t active. They added a fix for this in the next RenPy release by changing the detection algorithm....
