Re: [CC by-NC] Fantasy backgrounds

These backgrounds are so pretty! Would you mind sharing how you manipulated the original photos? I love the textures and sharpness and whatnot. Thank you! ^_^

Re: Ren'Py newbie guide

Thanks a bunch! I just love how you've arranged all of this so it's really simple to follow! If you need any help with this handbook, just send me a PM (because I have nothing better to do than scrounge the internet for Ren'py code). :wink: You're very welcome! I tried my best to organize everythin...

Ren'Py newbie guide

Hello, everyone! :) I have been working on a big project recently, for Ren'Py newbies like myself. I have been going through the cookbook and questions/announcements forums, looking for helpful posts for beginners. I have compiled tons of links, and have organized them categorically! I went through ...

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

@chocoberrie: I can do a tutorial for some of those things that you can't but there's a few on that list that I don't know how to do either. A tutorial would be wonderful, yes please! :) I don't want to get too far in the planning without knowing for certain that we've got what we need to put it al...

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

Hmm, concrete points. Well, choices that do minor things like change a single line of text, choices that do major things like splitting the story's path, changes in story path that happen both immediately after the choice and further down the line, divergent paths in wording or plot based on points...

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

We need someone willing to write the story and either the same person or someone else to write the actual tutorial. I'm a decent writer but I'm much too slow at it to be much use. I could possibly write the tutorial section or at least help with either aspect of the writing. I don't mind doing the ...

Re: Button sound off/on on main menu ?

I don't know how to put a on/off button on the main menu, but here's a code you can use to fade out the main menu music when you click the "start game" button on the main menu: $ renpy.music.stop(fadeout 1.0) This code goes right after "label start:" in script.rpy. By changing the number "1.0" to an...

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

Is this project still happening, or have people given up on it? I'm an absolute beginner as well, and although I looked through the tutorial provided in the Ren'Py Launcher, I must admit that a lot of it was over my head. More examples would be great, and detailed explanations of what code to use an...

"End of line expected" error in script.rpy

Hello! :) I am working on a short game so that I can learn the Ren'Py coding language. It's going great so far, and I'm having fun with it! At least, until I got these errors: "end of line expected" and "expected ':' not found." I checked the forums, and I can't find information about why the error ...

Re: Visuals-based VN engines

Thanks for all the help, everybody!

I'll look into trying out Novelty, and take a crack at learning the coding needed for Ren'Py. Wish me luck! ^_^

Visuals-based VN engines

Hello! :) Does anyone know of a VN engine that doesn't require knowledge or experience in coding? One that is visuals-based, where you can click and choose things for a game? (Ren'py looks intimidating, and I think the learning curve for that one is too high for me.) I came across Novelty, but is th...

Useful technique to develop characters

Hello again! I came across yet another book while at my local library called "Shut up & Write" by Judy Bridges. Although it's meant for writing fiction rather than visual or kinetic novels, I found the chapter about character development to be particularly helpful. (There's also a great chapter for ...
