Re: Kivy module support on renpy 8

There is no chance this will happen. Kivy is great if you'd like to build multitouch apps, but it's basically an alternative for what Ren'Py is doing, with its own event loop and way of doing things. It's not something that one could include as part of Ren'Py. (We do use several of the tools they've...

Re: Developing a game on android

I have a duet. Ren'Py doesn't quite work on it yet, but I hope to be adding support in the next few days. (Knock on wood.) Assuming this is the arm/mediatek version like mine.

Re: Ren'Py 8.0.0 and 7.5.0 Preleased

I'm pretty sure we have fixes for the Video and Atom issues, but I'll check the cutscene. The minimum version for Ren'Py 7.4 was Windows Vista, and I believe it's Windows 7 for Ren'Py 8. XP support was dropped in Ren'Py 7.4: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelog.html#depreciations-and-removals No...

Re: Developing a game on android

Sorry, but Android is too restricted to really work well as a development platform. If you haven't bought a device yet, look at some of the chromebooks - many can run both Android apps and Linux programs.

Re: Plans for multiline input?

I don't have any plans for multi-line inputs at this time. Making a CDD would be a fine, but it's hard to see how this would be in the scope of Ren'Py.

Re: Ren'Py 8.0.0 and 7.5.0 Preleased

Honestly, my experience has been that that probably won't be necessary. I've been running many 7.x games unchanged in Ren'Py 8.x for the past 6 months or so, and haven't had many problems.

Re: Ren'Py 7.4.11 Released

The goal will be to keep 7.x around for a year or so, to let people with games in development have time to get them released. (This schedule may change in either direction depending on how hard it is to get 7.x working.)

Ren'Py 8.0.0 and 7.5.0 Prereleased

Ren'Py 8.0.0 and 7.5.0 are currently in prerelease. Please do not make releases with these versions until the release is final. I'd like to announce Ren'Py 8.0.0, the first release of Ren'Py based on Python 3. This release modernizes Ren'Py by embracing a decade of Python development, and brings th...

Re: Making Generators With Renpy

I think the question is - what do you plan on doing with the answers to the questions, beyond storing them in variables? Could you describe in plain-text how you want to go from the answers to questions to normal text?

Re: Creating a Topic for your Game

"Updates to Patreon-backed games may be posted once every 2 months." I am interpreting this as "only one paywall post every 2 months," because although I have a patreon, it is not a huge source of funds, and when I post here, the update is not behind a paywall. Correct? This rule is intended to all...

Re: TypeError: "NoneType" is not callable while trying to use Function()

You probably want to use Function(entry.hasread), rather than Function(entry.hasread()). The latter will call the method immediately (which is wrong), then return None, which causes the problem. The former gives Function the bound method, which should work.

Re: [BUG] Variables no longer defined after repeated reloading

Can you update Ren'Py. There as an issue that could plausibly have caused this that was fixed around then.

In general, topics on the forum should be VN-related. This isn't a generic art commission site.

Re: directx not available due to SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable

I don't think this is a bug in Ren'Py - SDL_VIDEODRIVER is a way people might plausibly want to control Ren'Py, and so it makes sense that Ren'Py respects it.
