Re: adjusting text and menus for a game window at 500x500

To show the text like that, would you not use NVL mode?

Different Type of text box?

Working with my VN, I've found that I'm not too good with character images (exception: Faces). This came to me as an idea, but I couldn't begin to figure out how to code it.

A text box, with an additional box to the left with the Name and Face Image.
I have a mock up attached.

Re: Script first or Resources first?

The way that I'm doing it (so that I won't lose interest) is to split up script and artwork. I do part of the script, and then do some of the artwork, and repeat the process. It might not be as fast as the others, but you'll be able to release demos/trials of it sooner, and it works if you can't aff...

Re: menu and imagemenu

It is possible, but I've not attempted it. There should be something in the reference manual about the buttons.

The best bet that I have would have to be config.main_menu.

This move should be good. From what I've seen, PHPBB3 definitely is better than 2. Although, I'd say something about getting a skin for the forum, perhaps something like a RenPy interface?

It shouldn't be an issue if you are using a OpenType font, or a TrueType font. Those collects seem to screw up.

And instead of MSGothic, go for something like Mikachan.

I've always found .ttc to glitchy. Whether it be the MS Gothic/Mincho, or Mikachan.

I suggest you locate an alternative font that is not in a truetype collection (.ttc).

I'm pretty much a left-handing in terms of pencils and writing. I use my right-hand for mouse (even on my labtop), cutting (hobby knife + scissors) and equipment (tennis, hockey...etc). I can use my right hand to type w/o the usage of the left-hand, and retain the same speed as if I used both. Right...

Well, I can say that all I'm doing is coding, and trying to draw.
A few anime episodes here and there, and then some writing for my project. Can't have a completely boring summer, XD

If I had the money, I'd fly back and stay with my relatives in asia, but I'm stuck in the USA.

RPG Maker : I used this for quite sometime. The battle system itself is customizable (RPGXP), and most everything else. My favorite VN-ish title is the Dating Sim Engine by Sailor Taurus. Ren'Py : So far, it's nice. I like the code and syntax, being a Python/Ruby/C# guy. Flash : Honestly, I've neve...

Outside of C# and Ruby, I know jack squat. I assume, however, that you could do such with the usage of many pictures? Say, like uses Ren'Py's character, or scene function to do such. As the massive-ness (sp?) of this code that would be requried to define the images a seperate scripts file (say, defi...

Indeed it is acheive-able, although you would need to know a moderate amount of python.

I'm not to good with reading the error messages, but it might be your script that holds the issue.
