Re: The Beautiful Island [Adventure][Dystopian][Emotional]

The game is currently in the first play test phase (German language). After it ends, we will translate the game and then enter the second test phase with more test players. In the meanwhile, here are two screenshots from the game: https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2828660/ss_ef0b6a14ca7f...

Re: How to use a transform only for certain speakers?

Why not adding an if before frame id "window" at WindowEaseButtom? Then you can have one condition where the at-part is omitted.

SOLVED: Composite for hover

I want to use a composite image as hover image. I thought that would be easy, so I used this code: init: image red_hover2=Composite( (960*0.8,1080*0.8), (0,0),im.FactorScale("red.png",0.8), (100,300),Text(_("Some text")) ) call screen choose_scenario screen choose_scenario: hbox:...

Re: Weird interaction between screens

Thank you so much! It works like magic! I've spent a whole day trying to find a solution and then it is one word: animation . That was a life saver. You (and everyone here on this super helpful forum) deserve a mention in the credits for the game! :) Every transform that you not specifically mark as...

[Solved] Weird interaction between screens

Here's a strange phenomenon: In a cut scene, I have the following problem: I use three screens: - One is for displaying subtitles. - One is for calling the subtitle screen with a timer and the number of the line to be shown. - One is for the foreground of the graphics. The foreground has some animat...

Re: RollForward action

Did you try it? Return action is a misnomer, it does not have any relation to the return statement . It just ends current interaction and optionally sets the result of current interaction to some value. I did try it out and it didn't work, but ... given your reply I have tried again – and this time...

Re: RollForward action

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...

Re: Have an animation repeat and gradually slow down?

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...

Re: Have an animation repeat and gradually slow down?

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...

[Solved] RollForward action

Re: Is there any way to have the textbox follow the speaking character.

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