Re: Stopping advancement at custom menus

Uh, sorry, guessed wrong. I'm pretty sure I said it before, but it may have been tl;dr (or maybe I shouldn't have said minor flaw in a manor that implies it's unrelated to teh initially stated problem. I dunno) Anyway, the problem is that I can click anywhere on the screen that's not a designated bu...

Re: Novelty progress update (VN maker)

Seeing this thing as it's come along, I'm impressed. Ren'Py is nice and customizable provided you're willing to learn the code, but Novelty takes the cake for ease of use. Probably for customizability too.

I wasn't trying to insult the writers of the manual and tutorials, merely point out that they share a problem common to every coding manual I've seen. Interestingly enough, the tutorials do a good job of explaining why the effects work as tehy do, but there aren't enough tutorials on higher end func...

Help with displayables and menus please

First, a rant: The extensive manual, tutorial, etc. provided with Ren'Py suffers from the same thing that every other coding manual suffers from; It's great at telling you what, ocassionally it tells you how, and it almost never tells you why. Why things work, especially the numbers stated (because ...
