Re: How do I Jump to a Label After a Set Time has Passed?

Add a timer to the screen where you want all it to happen. For example: screen wait_timer(wait_time, jump_target): timer wait_time action [Hide("wait_timer"), Jump(jump_target)] # . . . show screen wait_timer(15*60, "train_secret") "I waited at the train station..." hide screen wait_timer "Tired of...

How do I Jump to a Label After a Set Time has Passed?

Hi there, I'd like to be able to take the player to a secret path of the game if they linger on the main menu for a set amount of time. Similarly, I'd like to do the same thing if the player lingers in a certain scene of the game for a set amount of time. For example, if the player is in a train sta...

Re: What are some things you hate about romantic Visual Novels??

I don't get it - what's the point? It's so you can see the character's expression and read the text at the same time. Particularly in games that have a lot of facial expressions but not a lot of body poses, and/or games that have zoomed the sprites so far out (to show more of the body) that the hea...

Re: A Castle on an Island [BxG][Slice of Life][Romance]

Because I'm wanting this demo to essentially help kickstart my pursuit of making visual novels in a fairly professional capacity, it would probably be wise to put my best foot forward in all ways: writing quality, art quality, and music quality. In that spirit, I'm thinking about using this new outl...

Re: A Castle on an Island [BxG][Slice of Life][Romance]

Hi everyone. :) I've been looking around at a lot of OEVNs and a lot of them have really high standards for art. I like the art I've been doing but, especially as I'm wanting to pursue making visual novels more professionally, I'm going to aim for a higher quality of art myself. It'll be nice: I was...

Re: A Castle on an Island [BxG][Slice of Life][Romance]

Hey SelLi, I think you're off to a good start :-). I have a question for you though- why was Abi the head lady to start with? Was it because her parents were something like a king and queen, or perhaps she was elected? Thank you very much! Good question. It's not immediately clear to Ean what the s...

Re: Is the “it was all a dream” trope generally disliked?

Hi All, In writing is the “it was all a dream” rugpull a disliked trope? Can you show me some examples where you felt it was actually done well? I feel like if I were to do something like that I would then have the challenge of explaining to the reader that the events in the dream were important an...

Re: A Castle on an Island [BxG][Slice of Life][Romance]

Made a nice picture of Abi. I redesigned her and drew her with my new tablet. ^^ It's interesting to see what changes. :) https://i.postimg.cc/4dPmbSh3/Abi-2-500-px-tall.png https://i.postimg.cc/sf05kMvg/Abi-at-Shore.png Here's her old sprite for fun: https://i.postimg.cc/d39Gq862/Abi-600-px-tall.png

Re: Which sprite style would you prefer?

The new style seems to be an improvement in pretty much every way. The hair looks better, the proportions look better, the clothes look better, the characters look less stiff... as you said the new style also has more room for facial expressions and poses, too. It just seems like you have a better g...

Re: What are some things you hate about romantic Visual Novels??

To be honest I'm not super bothered by a lot of things in romantic visual novels but that could be because I don't play many VNs. But what does bug me is when a character is depicted by a side-image and a sprite in the same shot? I feel like side-images should be reserved for when a character's talk...

Hi everyone~ I had my birthday recently and got a tablet! For years I've been drawing with my finger and a touch screen and this tablet makes drawing much easier! :) Here are some more updates: I'm going to be working toward completing the first part of the game so I can release it as either a free ...
