I'm talking as a player. I rarely play demos, but I've bought a game more than once because I liked the demo. Usually, I expect the game as an appetizer of what I'm going to experience in the full game. This involves narrative, general style and mood, and gameplay mechanics (depending on the genre, ...

Nice idea, I'm always interested in what other developers are doing ATM. My link is in my signature.

Plagarism is both a risky topic and a confusing one. Deciding if a song is plagiarism or not is a complex matter. There are song that have very similar melodies and chord progressions and yet aren't considered plagiarism. To be honest I would avoid such risks. Unless it is very different from the or...

Aw crap, thanks a lot for this! Exactly what I needed!

This is a lovely list of resources! Thank you for the effort you put in it! I have been looking for a tool like draw.io for way too long. I knew it existed somewhere but had no idea where to find it. I would add Inkscape to the graphics section. It is a vector drawing tool, like Adobe Illustrator, b...

By "animated over time", do you mean that it will slide from its old value to its new value (like a decreasing HP bar)? Yep exactly. Sorry, I'm horrible at explaining myself. I knew that AnimatedValue does exactly that. Problem is, I don't know how to change it once it is set. For example, say a ch...

Thank you for the detailed answer mjshi! I found your tutorial very useful in understand how bars work :D Assuming you're using a bar in screen language , shouldn't simply changing the value of the variable to 0 work? Not really because I need the value to be animated over time. Since posting this I...

This is hopefully a simple question :) I have a bar that shows progress over time with an AnimatedValue. I want that value to reset to 0 when the player clicks a button, but I'm oblivious on how this could be done, since I don't know how to access the value of a bar and how to influence it... Any he...

Didn't feel inspired at all today. So instead of writing like I should I worked on the logo :D http://i.imgur.com/KNY7lKa.png Still not definitive but I'm happy with it for now. * I'm still torn between making a kinetic novel or a visual novel. What do you prefer the most and what do you think would...

Nice. I was waiting for this :D I'm going to partecipate, it's not my first gamejam but it's my first NaNoRenO so I'm really excited. I've never developed a complete VN (only a few kinetic novels in other game jams) so I'm curios about how the actual development will go. It will be a great time to p...

From your post I get the feel that you don't understand the basic concepts of perspective. I can understand that, since it is something I've had trouble with for the longest time. The answer here is to just study the basic math behind perspective and projection. If you get confused over the basic th...

Fear rises from our unconscious, thus it can't (and it doesn't need) to be explained logically. It's like love, you can't talk someone into falling in love with you. It just happens. You feel it. And in the same way, you just feel fear. But for this to happen, you have to touch on some painful spots...

Hey don't be so hard on yourself - I can relate with what you are saying. The drive to make something worthwhile is what makes us human, it's normal to feel frustrated if you have a block. This may sound weird from a programmer, but I believe a game developer should focus on things that matter, and ...

This is just a curiosity of mine - why would you start a work from scratch and ignore years of active development that would save you a huge amount of time? Ren'Py is highly extensible and your work could be of immense help to a lot of people, while your engine will hardly be used by anyone except y...
