Re: NYC & metro area Renpy Devs Meetup?

I can't always make every monthly meetup I want to go to either :D But it would definitely be cool to see if enough people would be down to go. I've gotten some interesting feedback from people who played my prototype and said "Woah! I never played anything like that!" and part of me felt incredulou...

Conditionally setting menu choices visible and invisible?

I don't know if I'm using the correct terminology here or what-- but I'm trying to figure out how to make certain parts of menus invisible. Is a show/hide command the right way to do this? Let's take this menu: menu: "This is dialog choice number 1.": jump choice1 "This is dialog choice number 2.": ...

Re: Issues with Editra

Editra can be a serious PITA. I'm using it and will probably continue to do so for now, but while it lets me type things in what's totally annoying is I often have to kick it a few times to make it open my documents. Like I keep getting load errors and have to try it again. Once the script is open, ...

NYC & metro area Renpy Devs Meetup?

Since this is the spot for community-building, I figured this is the right place to put this-- I had an awesome time at the visual novel dev meetup at GDC, and was thinking about how some of the collectives we have in NYC like Playcrafting and our IGDA chapter are great resources but kinda "big tent...

Re: It's Different When It's Your Own [Comedy][Drama][Some GxB][Somewhat Serious But Rife with Swearing]

I think this is a great idea for a premise, because I don't see a lot of romance stories in general ever going to the 'so, kids?' part. I think the childfree lifestyle is absolutely a valid one so it'll be interesting to see this as a game. Will there be a bingo board? :wink: Thanks! :D While datin...

It's Different When It's Your Own [Comedy][Drama][Some GxB][Somewhat Serious But Rife with Swearing]

Hey! Sonic Toad Media here and I'm making a game called It's Different When It's Your Own: a choose-your-own adventure where you play out a timeframe in a childfree woman's life. Kate is a single tech professional in NYC who just celebrated her 35th birthday and seems to have an enviable life: good ...

Re: Adding a menu GUI to some screens

There might be something in the cookbook, ...maybe. You could do something like that, using a screen, or you could use different screens for buttons and text. The code below is a rough idea on how it could be done. The game screen is here supposed to be 640*480 I'm sure there would be some slicker ...

Adding a menu GUI to some screens

Maybe there's an old post about this or it's in the manual but I can't find it-- but in wanting to make my game less of a "pure" visual novel and add some adventure game elements, I wanted to add "Look" and "Pick Up" functions to certain screens that aren't being driven by character dialog alone. So...

Re: Android version of demo crashes at startup-- urgent for GDC

Didn't use an emulator-- put the build right on the Galaxy Tab-- but welp, no need for the Discord because whew, IT WORKS!!!!!!!! So it turns out that the build.classify rules are a problem if you're getting "Module _errorhandling could not be loaded." errors in Android builds. Found this old post t...

Re: Android version of demo crashes at startup-- urgent for GDC

Hey ! If you're in a hurry, I'd suggest to go ask on the forum's discord, they're usually very quick. https://discord.gg/6ckxWYm Concerning your issue, if it's possible, I'd suggest to try the apk on another device. If it works you will know it's probably a version incompatibility. Also I never had...

Android version of demo crashes at startup-- urgent for GDC

Hello, I'm having trouble with the Android version of my demo and am at a loss on how to fix it, and worse yet my GDC flight leaves early Friday morning so I hope I can fix this before Thursday night! I followed the Android directions in the documentation after I put my new Galaxy Tab A into develop...
