Random settings or semi-random character encounters, can this be done with Ren'Py?

Still a noob, still trying to figure out the best directions to proceed..

Printed media is often behind and incorrect since renpy is in active development. While the fundamentals will remain the same, the more advanced stuff is undergoing constant change and may break compatibility of some things, so having a written book about Renpy isn't particularly useful. You could ...

Would be nice to have some reading material for when I'm not at the PC. I checked amazon, but all I could find was one:

Any others?

You need to save your images in a format that supports a transparent channel. GIF used to be the go-to format and could still be used. PNG is an even better option. I would recommend that. I don't know what you can do with MS paint these days. Probably more than when I last used it. :) Even if you ...

Hi! Im creating a Visual Novel In renpy, and i like what one of the characters, have, in a moment of the story Artificial Inteligence. For example: I want command to can -Auto save the game -Call you for your PC Username -Turn Of your PC -Know the Day Date (Checking the Calendar) -Delate Files You ...

So I'm trying to nudge myself back towards writing after a few weeks off and curious on other opinions on how much world building is too much or too little. As a general answer to your question, it depends how much it matters to the plot/game. If I can get through the game without knowing anything ...

Classroom pack for all to use! I've made a couple of classroom backgrounds: 5 different camera angle shots, each with a color variation. You can use them for both personal and commercial projects!

This is pretty cool. Thank you. For suggestions/requests. A teacher. A more masculine male (Riyu is kinda on the frail side). And a couple generic classmates with glazed over eyes to represent NPCs that don't have personalities. Still getting the hang of Ren'Py. These, plus that free classroom ( htt...

This is awesome. thank you.

I don't consider myself a great writer in the slightest or even a good one, but it's starting to dawn on me that the "original" stuff I try to conquer in first person ends up sounding a lot like me or has alarming similarities. It's quite uncomfortable lol. How do you end up writing characters that...

I'm really primitive with my art at this stage. There's like a checkboard "transparent" thing that some images have in their background, so the computer doesn't display their background. How do you put that into art?

Like I'm using MS paint....Do I just need another program?

So that's something I've been dealing with again lately. Does anyone have any advice that might help with these problems? Not really a programming solution, but I'd look into ways to manipulate the story that would allow the optimal number of characters for your medium (Ren'Py) to be conversing at ...
