Re: Does anyone use the RPG frame?

Have you tried doing a Search and checking to see what everyone else is asking about the RPG frame? I've seen tons of topics in this area (Game-Makers' Corner) and the Ren'Py area about battle mechanics and related RPG topics.

Re: How DEEP do you research for your VN's?

You have to be careful when doing online research though and make sure that the source is actually a valid place to get your information.

So far, I haven't had to research anything much... except for some obscure clothing for Foxtaile (thanks Taleweaver).

*cross-disciplines (no need for separate writer, coder, sprite artist, BG artist, CG artist, musician, etc with calls to fill more roles than is really necessary) I disagree to a certain point. It's good to have cross-disciplines but if you're on a tight schedule and want to save time, it may be be...

Re: Too much focus towards Japan?

I don't really see what the big deal is. If they want to set it in Japan, let them set it in Japan. Next thing you know, someone will complain that we're using too many anime-style drawings!

Customizing Size of Screenshot (Using the S Button)

I would like to know if you can customize the screenshot that results when you press the "S" button. Is there anywhere I can change it so it will only capture a certain part of the screen kind of like when you use renpy.take_screenshot(size of screen area) for the save files?

Re: Hexagreat and Metasequoia video tutorials (free3D progra

Wow, that HexaGreat is pretty neat. It looks so time consuming though - like doing lineart with the Pen Tool on Photoshop! XD
Don't know if I'll ever use it but... :downloads:
Thanks Ren!

Are Random Clothes Using Composites Possible?

If I wanted to dress up a character with random clothing, and basically creating a random button in the process, that's possible with composites correct? If it is, how would I go about doing that? (I have a general idea of how I may go about it but I just need confirmation... plus I haven't worked w...

Re: A man married to a pillow

Damaging the image of his/her character? It's a bit hard to claim defamation when the character in question is fictional. From what I hear, it's already hard to win defamation suits in the first place. To have a suit for a fictional character...? Your case will get dismissed before it even reaches ...

Re: Signatures

Fair enough. But I stand by my statement that the inconvenience x 30 is excessive. Companies that make their game piracy-free through DRM will find they've made their game unplayable for even the people who bought it legally. Just something to think about. Inconvenience via not having signatures is...

Re: Signatures

I didn't say it was the only way. That would be ridiculous. But your forum does prove the point that they had to resort to a different medium to express themselves (the Location spot). And I didn't say that you said it was the only way. I'm just stating that people can live without signatures just ...

Re: A man married to a pillow

There's also the guy who married a Love Plus character.

I doubt the creator can sue. What damages are there exactly for him to sue over?

Re: Signatures

A signature is a way to establish an identity and community. If you remove the signature, might as well strip an avatar as well. I disagree. I've actually run my MangaTutorials forum without giving members the ability to make signatures for years* and it didn't deter members from establishing an id...

Re: Is it me or is ATP's site gone?

I don't think it's server downtime... Usually there's a message that comes with server down times. He could be making a new site but it's rather odd that he should just take the pages down instead of just putting up the new pages when they're finished. Until we get word from mikey, there's not much ...

Re: A question on locking out events

Okay, I want to get it so that when you complete a certain set of events (like you go through all of Nene's arc in my game) it locks out all of the events for Ria and instead gives you a new path for her. From the sounds of this, you can do a conditional if-else statement. Start off your variables ...
