Four romantic interests is a healthy amount, I think. That's not to say that you shouldn't do more or less, but it might be more appealing to both the player (in that they can choose from a variety of characters) and to you as well (in that you can easily set up dichotomies between the pairs and wri...

You shouldn't have to if you're just uploading a file for download. If you want to make your game playable online, you'd have to convert it to HTML or another language. I think that Alte has a lot of experience with converting Ren'Py VNs into HTML 5, so you might want to send a PM that way if you ha...

Just for clarification, would you be able to provide a short excerpt from your script or a more detailed elaboration on the darker themes you mentioned?

Wow, I've never seen a board game in Ren'Py before, so you've definitely got the corner on that market. :D There is a similar title (digital board game) on Steam called 7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat , but it seems to be the only indie game I've been able to find with the concept. Is there an ov...

Nathaniel, aka one of the biggest dorks to ever exist in fiction. I probably made him look cooler than he actually is. I would like to do a proper age chart (5,6,11,12,14 & 17) painted and everything, so these are some sketches on the way to doing that. I think my heart just broke out of my chest. ...

Nothing in real life can make me cry.. One might think that is a good thing, but no.. it actually really really sucks. Crying is a biological release of built up emotions and stress. The only way I can cry is if I watch a particularly sad movie/anime or if I go through certain VNs.. but even now I ...

There are a couple different analog clocks out there I did the one that is a CDD and that sumarises the other clocks that were out at the time that I built off of. Yes, that's the one. It was my first introduction to CDD in Ren'Py. I think it might have inspired my poorly conceived implementation o...

I always start out with a role in mind. "I need a friend for Protagonist X to tie the narrative closer to school" is a pretty standard example. Then, I think about what they'll do on screen, based on the tone and pace of the narrative. If they're only going to be on screen or in the story long enoug...

My analogue clock in the cookbook section is a CDD...and I tried to be very detailed about how I went about doing what I was doing. Ah, so you did the analogue clock? That was one of the first cookbook examples I went through when I first started out. If it makes you feel any better, I understood w...

Could you be more specific with what you'd like your potential team members to do? For example, you might want to detail what's expected of a programmer -- the basics (such as setting up flags, creating transitions, linking choices and scenes, etc.) or something that might require someone with more ...

I honestly have my difficulties with staying focused, which ironically kept me away from posting this for about an hour. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm incredibly busy in my public life as a college student and constantly juggling work, but I switch from project to project or eve...

To echo the excellent points that everyone's previously posted, you can make up whatever you want -- as long as it's consistent with everything else you've made up or (and this is an incredible challenge) you explain it away to an audience who trusts the narrative you've built. The only way you can ...

@ Arowana: I've always thought CDDs were awesome too, but they're really under utilized from what I've seen. Maybe I should slap a tutorial on that together too...

No problem. You're being incredibly kind and generous with both your time and your money. It's the least I could do.

I haven't seen a lot of projects make much use of customized keymaps, which I think is a pretty neat way to make your VN play more like a traditional game, provide additional options to those who use different keyboard/mouse setups, or even for possible quick time events. I'm currently working on a ...
