Ah, I didn't think about this, it's definitely something I'll have to keep in mind for later.

Re: The Way We All Go [BxG, Horror, Romance]

Well, Ive been playing this for about a month I'd say (not everyday, like maybe 2-4 days a week) and Im extremely impressed as well as in love with it! I hope to soon go back and give some money to this (if it's possible to go back, lol...) So far, Ive gotten the following endings: Liar, Proof, Bloo...

Re: Haven't Drawn In A While?

I have this issue a lot. I naturally love to draw, it's something I enjoy, but I really have to find something I want to draw, or a reason to. I got into visual novels because I love to draw (and write) and that was my motivation to do it every day... But a good way to get into drawing everyday is t...

Re: Uncaught Exception Occurred, I need Help!

Okay, it looks like you have two files in your game folder: "I don't know.rpy" and "script.rpy" Go to the top of Editra where the tabs are (NOT File, Edit etc, and not the little buttons. The tabs that are right above your code...) What tabs do you have open? I'm going to guess you made a new file a...

xalign, xpos, etc (position style properties) Not working

I've been having this issue with when I use xalign,ypos, xpos, yalign, yanchor, etc. Heres an example: Here, I defined a side image, as well as scaled it using im.FactorScale image side liltabi neutral=Image(im.FactorScale("sprites/liltabi/liltabi_neutral.png", 0.7,0.7)) Then, lower down, I tried to...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

School is starting back, and worst of all, Im going to a really huge highschool as a freshman and I am just /terrified/.
Not to mention that we may move right as school starts, so I'm just resigning from the possibility of making friends. orz

Re: Ellipses Use

It's easy to overuse ellipses and it makes the writing look amateurish. It's important to know when an ellipsis is unnecessary and remove it. For example, this: "I... um..." Would be better off as this: "I, um..." Or: "............Don't bother me." Would be better as this: "Hmph. Don't bother me." ...

Haha, yeah, I actually was inspired to make this thread by a review I saw on a VN saying the ellipses annoyed them x__x

Re: Ellipses Use

However, I find it distracting when there are more than three ellipsis points. ^^ ".......what......did you say?" is something that's okay for me at first but gets quite irritating after a while. :) But... yeah, I have nothing against ellipses. :D I definitely agree with this.

This is a very good point. Ive noticed that ellipses can become increasingly distracting when used too often.

show_two_window box -- Positioning the name? {Solved}

Alright, so I just finished up making my textbox/namebox and put it into my game... Here's how I positioned the namebox, which ended up fine... style.say_who_window.background = "gui/namebox.png" style.say_who_window.xpos = 0.2 style.say_who_window.ypos = 2.25 Then I added "show_two_window=True" to ...

Ellipses Use

How do you feel about the use of ellipses? Do you mind when it's overused? Do you think there is a time when ellipses overuse is acceptable? If so, when? Or do you not tolerate it at all? Does it annoy you? Does it represent a level of amateurism? I just want opinions on the use of them, but those a...

Re: NameError when trying to use point variables

Didn't you restored game from save made before you've added "harris_points" variable into script? Or didn't you modified the start button in main menu to make it start from the label other than "start"? Nope. I don't load from saves when testing my games for that exact reason. I haven't modified th...

NameError when trying to use point variables {SOLVED}

I'm simply trying to use point variables to add and subtract points, but I'm getting a NameError that's not making sense. Here's MY code: -Here, I define my variable after 'label start'... label start: # Variables $ harris_points = 0 Then later in the script I try to subtract three points... label r...

Ooooh, I love what you have uploaded to your soundcloud... The bass you have in your songs is a really unique, as I often don't hear it in VNs, but you incorporate it really well. ouo Although I would lower the bass in some songs a bit, as it makes it difficult to hear the music.
