Well, I am just adding in my two-cents here. I, as a artist and a programmer, go through phases of consumption and creation. Often the two are opposing phases. When I get artist-block, I stop and unwind, then begin consuming information and ideas again, looking for a spark. It's quite easy to get lo...

Mostly, I assist with VN creation. I do not have a "full release", of my own creation, to date. When I write, I first determine the content, then the subjects of the content. (Characters) Then I have a basic idea of what the "best ending" will be, before trying to figure out wher...

I use "3D Renderings" in my VN work. Most of the best 3D rendered objects look real, because they are made from photographs of real items, imposed onto 3D objects. So, in a sense, yes... I use photographs of real things in my VN creation. (As well as, obvious photographs in picture-frames....

Will you be keeping RenPy 7.x around for a while, along side of RenPy 8.x? I know that you might not want to have two versions kept, side-by-side, forever. But I think that it should be kept, only for "fixing patches", while V8.x continues to get "features". Especially since many...

Big factors here, including the obvious which were stated, besides the "stink"... Yes, this is heavily a "developers forum". Also keeping in mind that the majority of developers here are also more into "hand drawn", and there is a slight stigma to "using rendered 3...

I had a similar effect, using simple layers and masks. (It was for a hide and seek hunt, using a magnifying glass.) The top layer would be the small font image, the bottom layer would be the 2x font image. The mask just pokes a hole through the top layer. (Maybe I did it reverse, so the mask was inv...

Noticed this when typing-out a function for a screen/button/action... The function "SetVariable", does not appear in the list as a possible function. So, it is either missing, or setup incorrectly somehow. All other variations of "SetVariable..." show in the pop-up list for auto-...

Can you update the "suggested ATOM editor", as it is throwing errors after updating many of the package files. The error suggests that users update to version 1.40.0 at least, but "we" can't. They are currently on version 1.58.0 now and RenPy is still stuck on version 1.34.0 from...

Most games I have seen have no actual real-world correlation to an actual structure. On rare occasions, someone will use a blue-print style 3D map so you can click on rooms, but the actual rooms inside defy reality. I make entire houses in 3D, so they can be rendered with local realism. test_gui2.jp...

I wonder if this started failing with the creation of these "new commands". (New to me, as I have never seen them before.) https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaying_images.html#image-functions The one that specifically looks for tags and attributes, which is now sending an error, instead o...

If execution came to this stage, that means that string was correctly parsed and broken into tag and attributes. Does mloc contains 'loc home poolyard 1' after assigning it? Does if works correctly if you replace mloc = "loc " + LOC.GROUPS[YOU.LOCATION][0] + " " + YOU.LOCATION +...

I think I figured-out MORE of what the issue is... (The "attribute" it is complaining about is the attribute in the AUTO IMAGE LIST.) It has something to do with the AUTO-LIST and INFERENCE for images. Previously, I could ask RenPy to display "house 1", and it would first look fo...

You need to make a "REPLACE" for "show text" also... as opposed to "say" The code only replaces text in the renpy.say command. You need one for renpy.show and somehow the sub-command "text". (renpy.show_text)??? What are you trying to do? You should be using v...

Yes, the images exist for each time of day. It is actually displayed as the current image. This check would just redisplay the same image again. I had not built in a check to see if the image was currently displayed. (But I imagine that would potentially reduce junk-collection demand.) The 1, 2, 3 a...

I am getting a strange "join" error. Apparently RenPy is looking at the string " 1" as an "attribute", for some reason, when trying to append it to a building string. This is inside an "init python", as part of a "function". mLoc is "My location...
