Re: [WIP] Dragon Story (Recruiting)

Of course, go right ahead if you're interested! It might always be that your personal style turns out to be exactly what I'm looking for, even if it is less technically polished than someone elses work.

Re: North Korean Ren'Py Game

Some interesting points about the plot, too:
Ahahaha! I love the extremely short sprite for Kim... Is it wrong that I now want someone to really make that game as some kind of comedy?

Re: Digital: A Love Story

Now that was both very different and very fun. Thanks a lot! One bug that I noticed: After recompiling Emilia, I just kept replying to her messages, and she suddenly went "Oh noes, what happened to Paris?" even though I didn't actually connect to the ARPA node in between. It kind of ruined...

Re: [WIP] Last Rites [sneak peek]

Awww... "Just" a straight up remake then? Not that it's a bad thing for you to make, but for a moment you had me hoping for something like a prequel... The story of the Nameless Ones previous party would make for excellent VN fodder. But maybe I'll have to do that myself if I want it... :m...

Re: The Importance of Exposition

Yeah, I think having a first person narrator who learns things (mostly) at the same time as the reader greatly helps ease people into your world. In fact, when you find that something might be confusing to the reader at some point you can just have the protagonist ask the same question of people aro...

Re: 2009 Year in Ren'Py

Sure, let me just throw away these 2 years of development time and start over. If the functionality's changing in an inconvenient way, I'd strongly consider just continuing to use the old version. I assume it would still work in most cases. I'm still writing my story on 6.6.3 (20 out of 23 chapters...

Re: Different Line Spacings in NVL mode

I always use some \n, combined with a nowait tag. "It was a dark and stormy night..." "\n\n\n{nw}" "...or so they would have you believe. The truth, however, is far more sinister." The advantage of this method is that it doesn't break paragraph indentation, if you use t...

Re: Ren'Py Roadmap

On another matter, it would be "helpful" if part of the character definition also allowed you to specify a text style. For myself, if I have a character speaking their "internal" dialogue, I indicate that using italics. Which gets to be a pain after a while. It would be nice if ...

Quick hack: Chapter word count for lint

If anyone else here is working with multiple source files, maybe this is useful for you: Since I was curious how large the different chapters of my story really were, I hacked up the lint script to give me a breakdown on word counts per file. The script is attached, for anyone interested. It's based...

Chaining transitions

Hi everyone! Is there a simple way to combine multiple transitions into one that I can then call by a single name? Example: When changing backgrounds, I prefer a fade, followed by a brief pause to give the player time to look at the background before it is covered by text again. (This is in NVL mode...

NVL mode and jump statements

It seems that NVL mode is a little sensitive when it comes to the position of jump statements. Using a jump only works when you are either in a menu or when the nvl buffer is empty. This works: label start: "Example text" nvl clear jump chapter_2 But this doesnt: label start: "Example...

thanks , but it can't recognize the tag nw, what do I need to make it to recognize that tag?
Download the 6.6.1 release. There was a bug with nw in the releases before that.
