Re: SUSTAINABLE, EPISODIC and RECYCLABLE SHORT GENERIC VN

This sounds very interesting, though it makes me sad that you're not going to go with the horror angle that this is so very much primed for.

Re: Characters in Games

I think the first and last questions really need the answers as the middle two I feel make very little difference to the end product. For me it's the writing that needs to stand up, if after a time with these characters, mainly the protagonists, I find myself not able to complexly image them I am un...

Re: Aratta Studios is recruiting for its VN!

This does look like a neat project, but I have to ask, what are you doing that you need quite so many software developers? Are you adding some type of game play feature that Ren'Py doesn't natively have? I mean 17 is a lot.

Player privacy question: is this a step too far?

Alright so I did a mockup of one of the ending of the game, but I do a small trick in it, after I went through it to make sure that my logic was correct. A thought occurred to me though. I may get some (in my mind) over the top reactions to it. I have the programme read the user name of the player a...

Re: The Queensville Aversion [Lovecraft]

Thanks for your support guys. Malevolent I've never really seen any reason that a Lovecraft story couldn't be placed in a modern era as many of the situations technology would very rarely have helped the protagonist, the biggest help would often be the fact that most people have a crappy flashlight ...

Re: A secret characer after achieving all good endings?

Quickest way that I can think of doing this would be to have a file that when the game is installed in has a token for each of the romancable characters set to false, and each time you successfully romance a character you change that character's state to true. When you start the game you have it che...

Re: How to deal with Languages

Have you considered using a simple cypher like Rot13 or an additive cypher? Both of these will hide what is actually being said, but a person could figure out what it is that they are saying.

Re: Any plans for a larger Ren'Py training VN?

I'm guessing I must have fallen into the programmer trap then, can you point me to those pages? PS- is there a probation or something for this wiki, as even with an account it's not letting me edit it, and if you ignore new accounts all the edits in the last 30 days appear to be by the same two or t...

Re: Dating Sim programing question

Depending on how different you want the two characters to be you have two options. If you are making a game where the two characters have largely the same dialog you can set a flag for which character is talking and the unique text for each is triggered via a check of the flag. The other way is to i...

Re: Any plans for a larger Ren'Py training VN?

I think if you lean to heavily on the former you'd come out with a game like Infinite Game Works which isn't a bad thing per-say but not really what we're talking about. I really do think that using Pygame to emulate real problems that a programmer may run into can work though. Further we can add on...

Re: Dating Sim programing question

The short answer to your question is yes, the longer answer would reflect on how you're using the phrase "selection of characters" do you mean something along the lines of generic arts guy who gets +5 to painting vs generic sports guy who gets +10 to soccer, or do you mean a choice between being Bob...

Re: Any plans for a larger Ren'Py training VN?

Am I wrong in reading this thread and coming out with the very meta image of making a Ren'Py game in a Ren'Py game? Where teh game will attempt to lead the player to creating code that would lead the player to making code that would do what the game asks the player to via some an ad hoc evaluation s...
