Re: How to place half sprite on bottom left

The side sprites are coded differently. First, when defining their image you want to define them with "image side" image side mc happy = "spritename.png" Naturally you'd change the filename and 'mc happy' to whatever is appropriate for you. When the character says something the "show" command is not...

Re: Music loops at the Main Menu

That looks like it's going in the right direction, I'll give it a try, thanks.

Re: Music loops at the Main Menu

I have, but only as part of code for a an actual game in progress, not at the main title screen.

Given that the menu music is defined by (as an example):

Code: Select all

config.main_menu_music = "music.ogg"
How would one setup a queue, if it's even possible?

Music loops at the Main Menu

Let's say you have a track that's been separated into two files. The intro and the actual loop itself. In-game this is easy enough to setup as a proper loop. Simply queue the looped section after the intro and set the intro to non-looping. Does Ren'Py currently support this kind of functionality for...

Re: Horror Story Protagonists?

I don't think there's really one "right" answer - especially not knowing more about your plot. merdeamour makes a good point in that a well-done predefined character can be just as immersive (if not more) than the blank slate. I think how you go about writing the story also makes a big difference. ...

Re: How can I sing with man's voice?

I'm not a trained singer nor do I teach others to sing. Have you been singing for long? Have you recieved any formal training in singing? Furthermore be a little more in-depth. When you say 'I'm trying to make my voice deeper at the same times I'm trying to make it higher' do you mean you're trying ...

Re: Music Showcase

I'm currently using the sibelius 7 software and the sound library that goes with it. I want to get a better one purely because some of the sounds for instruments I use quite a lot(brass section, woodwind section) are pretty rubbish and sound nothing like what it should be. I've been looking at garr...

Re: Music Showcase

Hey, another Australian composer! I had a listen to a few tracks. I enjoyed "Tears" -- good job. One thought I had while listening is that one tracks was probably too heavy for VN music. Though I guess that depends on the game really and where it's used. Maybe create a playlist organising stuff? Th...

Re: Music Showcase

What software do you use? I have possibly the worst sound libraries in the world at the moment and I really need to upgrade haha Unfortunately the software is only the half of it. The best sound libraries tend to be separate and they're never cheap. The stuff on my soundcloud was done in Logic Pro,...

Re: Horror Story Protagonists?

The latter option sounds more appealing to me than the first one. Skillfully-told stories enable me to immerse myself in the story, sometimes well enough to put me into the MC's shoes. For me, making a VN with a pre-defined character in mind won't alienate me as the reader, not if it's done in a ma...

Horror Story Protagonists?

I've had this idea for a short horror story running around my head for the past few days and keep stumbling over one little issue. What sort of protagonist would be the best to use in such a genre? An ambiguous, genderless nobody seems fitting as the reader will more readily place themselves in thei...

Re: Music Dump: Piano loops and possibly other stuff

Well, that's alot more like it. There's still a few predictable rhythmic elements abound, but frankly it can often be difficult to maintain a desired mood when messing with rhythmic elements too much. I honestly probably only care as I'm a ridiculously critical person by nature and furthermore liste...

Re: Music Showcase

Ah, thanks for catching that, I've fixed that now.

I appreciate the welcome. Looking forward to expanding my musical talents.

It's always interesting to compose for others over yourself and a good way to push your boundaries, I find :wink:

Appreciate the compliment, too :D

Cheers.
