Re: How do I adjust the name box?

I think I figured it out... It's weird though. Am I supposed to keep the edges like on a textbox or am I supposed to crop it all the way down?

How do I adjust the name box?

I've been fiddling around with it for a few hours and I'm so confused... If anyone has a link to something, that would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, I have it exactly where I want it on the image file. How do I make it show up there on the screen? Right now, it's just showing up way above the text...

Re: Differences between actual Python and Ren'Py coding

Although Python has its similarities, I don't think it can be used in Ren'Py unless you use a python or init python block. If you're also legitimately finding you want to use Python coding in your game, it may be worthwhile to take a look at Pygame and how it can be used with Ren'Py (if it is still...

Re: What do you guys think of language learning games?

The Geothe Institute produced a fun language learning game Das Geheimnis Der Gimmelsscheibe which I enjoyed quite a lot and think would make a great model for other language games. http://fluentlanguage.co.uk/blog/mysterious-art-theft-in-germany-game-review That looks interesting! Thanks so much fo...

Re: Does voice acting have to be consistent?

Where will you be looking for actors? We literally have millions of Chinese-speaking people in North America. Well, I was thinking some of my mom's friends, but they're mostly immigrants so they don't have the best English. Then my mom's friends' children, but ya know, speaking isn't the same as ac...

Does voice acting have to be consistent?

Like, I feel like it would take way to much effort to find people fluent in both English and Chinese. Do you think it would be necessary for me to voice the English parts as well since it's a Chinese learning game? Or should I just use two separate sets of actors? I feel like maybe I should just lea...

Help aligning text box?

I'm trying to put these textboxes into my game and I'm a little confused. I have separate ones for the characters and the narrator, but they're not lining up. How do I realign the text box for the narrator? I think I read somewhere that it automatically takes the settings from the other text box? So...

Can I set different fonts for different languages?

Hi, I'm trying to do a thing where I have both Chinese and English text. Is there any way to set it so that the Chinese will display in one language and the English in another? Also, is there any way to add "font" to the settings menu? Thanks a lot!

Re: What do you guys think of language learning games?

I think learning material should be incorporated into a story, so that you'll need to know something to progress with it. If it's just pop-up dictionaries and added information it'll just be skipped and learning it won't be different from just opening the dictionary and learning stuff straight from...

What do you guys think of language learning games?

I was thinking that the visual novel platform would be really cool for language learning, like, with pop-up dictionaries and translations and voice over with a limited vocabulary for beginners. Would people be interested in something like this? Would it be really hard to make? Also, should the langu...
