Re: Do you think there is a market for non-anime visual novels?

I sometimes wonder if I should even market it as a visual novel, despite otherwise fitting the definition to a T. I'm even using Ren'Py to make the thing. What would you market it as otherwise? I had originally considered the same thing; putting in more point-and-click elements and going for a more...

Re: R. I. P. Tour [Thriller][Dramedy][Customizable Main Character][Demo available!]

My first bug fix: My voice blips weren't working.They were audible in the engine but not in the build, which I eventually corrected by just not archiving the blips in question. Possibly there's a better way of telling the packager how to read them after archival, but I don't care that much about hav...

Re: Do you think there is a market for non-anime visual novels?

For me, the strongest draw of Japanese VNs is the voice acting. I don't think it's the actors' fault, but I feel like there are often production/direction issues with English-based voice acting that end up with something that feels like an inferior product to what you get from Japanese VAs. I'm also...

Re: Using multiple names for one character?

Probably. I'd tried adding it to my current project. I'll keep debugging.

EDIT: You're totally right. No idea what I messed up before, but yeah it absolutely works.

Re: Using multiple names for one character?

As anonymouse says, you do not really need a function to adjust the name. I would though suggest using a dynamic character to adjust the name... default pc_name = _("Bob") ## the _() sets it for translation define pc = Character("[pc_name]") # use [] interpolation to make this character dynamic lab...

Re: R. I. P. Tour [Thriller][Dramedy][Customizable Main Character][Demo coming on Oct 31st]

Question for the thread I'm very nearly done with the demo, so I'll be able to ask for more direct criticism soon enough, but first I want to make sure I'm conveying the game well enough that people might want to download the demo in the first place. Does this post so far give you a good sense of w...
