Re: The Secrets We Keep [Demo Available!][BxB][Romance, Slice of Life, Single Parenthood, Angst]

None of the sprites are placeholders. My artist HELLA struggles with men and has had issues with trying to make them work together on-screen. But Emily is really only in the game because I didn't want her sprite to go to waste (she's leftovers from the game's original concept). She only makes short...

Re: The Secrets We Keep [Demo Available!][BxB][Romance, Slice of Life, Single Parenthood, Angst]

Oh, this looks really interesting. Did a quick play through the demo. Here are nit-picky thoughts in no real order. 1) The font is a little hard to read. It looks nice, but the kerning makes it unideal for a massive block of text. 2) It's not necessarily obvious, at the beginning, who is who because...

Re: How to show a screen with arguments via hyperlinks?

Oh, awesome. I was hoping there was a more straightforward way to do it, but this looks like it'll work great. Thanks! Edit: In this case, since it's for a single purpose, I guess I could also define a handler for something like showitem and instead do "{a=showitem:myitemid}View description{/a}" whi...

[SOLVED] How to show a screen with arguments via hyperlinks?

As of Renpy 6.99.13, it looks like it's possible to have hyperlinks show screens instead of just loading webpages. I have a screen that takes an argument: screen itemdesc(itemid): And I want to be able to show this screen via a link in text. This doesn't work, obviously, because there's no item ID: ...

Re: Yearning: A Gay Story [BxB][School/Slice of Life][18+]

What I mean is, I just thought I'd play it for a sec before bed in a really not committed way but found myself immersed so quickly. It was so natural and I attribute it to the effortless writing(style) you seem to have. (although there were a few spelling errors here and there, I'm certain you'll t...

Re: Bear School, Which is for Bears [BxB] [Romance/Comedy]

Um. This looks amazing. It reminds me of the garlic bread dating sim that reddit is currently obsessed with, but more... realistic? (Also I totally recognize those backgrounds and used some of those myself :D Hurrah for free VN backgrounds.) Will definitely give this a try. Do I need to download bot...

Re: Straight!? [BxB, College, Slice of Life] [NSFW, 18+]

So, in short, you're suggesting that my vision for the game is pretty damn advanced for a newb. You're stating that I should essentially rewrite the game to make it more linear and just focus on the dialogue and events rather than trying to do a million different things and juggle all the coding ni...

Re: Straight!? [BxB, College, Slice of Life] [NSFW, 18+]

I have considered listing stat requirements on some of the choices to help give the player more guidance on where to go. Do you think that would make a difference? Some players have actually noted enjoyment over blind grinding to figure out ways to unlock events. I definately see your point though ...

Re: Straight!? [BxB, College, Slice of Life] [NSFW, 18+]

At first glance, this looks really similar to the game I'm currently working on, which is awesome. The world needs more BxB games, and college is an experience that many people can easily relate to. :) I'm not usually a fan of 3d rendered graphics, but it kind of works here? Strictly personal prefer...

Re: Yearning: A Gay Story [BxB][School/Slice of Life][18+]

Thanks for the feedback! :D I do still feel that the Elliot/Robert issue can come out of nowhere if the player doesn't visit the frat enough; for something that ends up dominating the end of the story, it feels as though it should have been set up more on the non-frat routes. That's fair. I can thro...

Re: Yearning: A Gay Story [BxB][School/Slice of Life][18+]

So... it's been a while. Sprites ran into more delays than I would have liked, and took a bit longer than I would have liked, but the first two are complete, and the game is really starting to come together as a result. The latest build of the game with the latest art assets (sprites and backgrounds...

Re: Yearning: A Gay Story [BxB][School/Slice of Life][18+]

Sorry for the lack of updates. I was hoping to post a large update here when I received the final sprite for Adam but, long story short, sprites have run into a bunch of delays, so the first sprite is not done yet. But I do have some things to show! First of all, I have the first three backgrounds f...

Re: Fate of the Squire [BxB][Fantasy][Adult]

I've been following your progress on tumblr, and I'm always impressed both with the fact that you're doing every part of the game yourself, and also with how good this game is looking, visually. The game itself sounds good, as well (but that's harder to evaluate from screenshots :) ). Looking forwar...

Re: As We Know It [GxB][GXG][VN][Romance|Drama|Apocalypse]

Those backgrounds are gorgeous! It would be interesting to hear more about what's happened above ground, as well. What do the other people that don't get spots in underground cities do? (Presumably your character had to bide her time somehow while waiting.) How is law and order maintained above grou...

Re: Dream Savior Gakuen - ReDraw [BxB, GxB, Drama, School, WIP]

Oo, this looks fun. I haven't played the original, but I like the direction the new art is going. I'm always a fan of realistic-looking-but-obviously-drawn backgrounds. The animated people look promising, and Keeves is cute and Polar is hot. So that's good. - Which character are you drawn to most an...
