Hiding two images at once?

This has probably an easy solution but could not find it anywhere. Basically I need to hide two images shown on the screen with a dissolve at the same time. But I don't know the sintax to do so. If I use the following: hide image1 with dissolve hide image2 with dissolve I get the images to disappear...

Imagebutton can't find defined image?

What the following code is trying to do (and failing) is creating an imagebutton so that, when hovered, a small animation in ATL starts playing. init -2: image startimage = "start0.png" image startimage_hover: "start0.png" pause 0.1 "start1.png" pause 0.1 "start2.png" pause 0.1 repeat transform menu...

Re: Do you think visual novels are growing or slowly dying?

I really feel they are growing. This comes from someone that six years ago didn't know anything about what a VN was, and now plays and develops them as an hobby. I definitely feel there is some expanding interest for them.

Re: Is learning Psychology necessary for basis of writing?

Psychology is great for understanding humans and getting a bigger viewpoint. But as a writer one must remember that you are talking about a very limited set of the human population, so those general principles usually depend a lot on the context of each character. This is what naturalists have faile...

Re: Thoughts on "Game Overs"

Game over screens are a fail in design. I know it is an extreme position, but that's my gut feeling. If the game is not competitive and you can get a game over screen, then it is broken. Visual novels, and all story based games like adventure games, should be especially careful, since it can be exce...

Returning from call with hyperlink

Hello :)

I know that I can use hyperlinks to jump to a specific label, but I wonder if it is possible to return from a called label by using an hyperlink the same way. I don't know if that is possible, and if it is, how.

Re: Huge scope for first project

Personally, the biggest problem I have with big first projects is that you will grow your skills quickly while you create it. As a consequence, your first decisions on the project will probably make the rest of it much more difficult to work with. Nothing wrong in that, it is how we learn. But since...

Re: How to come up with plot twists and interesting endings?

Plot is overrated. Readers are going to forgive you for a simple story if the character and setting makes up for it. Maybe your story won't have the same kick to it, but readers will enjoy it nonetheless. What you may need, more than a twist, is a conflict that the protagonist needs to fight. At lea...

Re: Writer's Cramp

The advice by trooper6 is sound. I would say that changing environement and writing gibberish are the two most important things. Sometimes words just get stuck somewhere and you need to get them flowing, like when a pen stops working. The most valuable skill I learned is to get in the habit of switc...

Re: Window size: Is 1280x720 too big?

I would say it's fine, since there is only a small percentage of people who can't play a game at that resolution. And performance wise should be fine, especially for a visual novel.
