Re: Question about stock photos.

That's a grey area I believe, like ... can you even call it "art" if you traced it? You know, that kind of grey area. I would suggest crediting the piece if in doubt. By no means try to sell it without contacting the photographer first. Because in court, I'm sure it's considered a collabor...

Re: Voice Solutions?

This is most definitely not apples to oranges, and I'm quite insulted by the suggestion. Believe me when I say 10 people are a managable cast list. I've organized and completed full length projects (much larger and more complex than your project's scale) with cast lists of over 35 members. I would b...

Re: Voice Solutions?

Well, the "folks who have microphones" option proved to be as big a bust as I was afraid it would. On the first week, I only had one person late. On the second week, I had three people late. On the third week I had half the folks late. By the fourth week almost everyone was late, and I ne...

Re: (i found him) By The Lake

Thank you. Yes, it turns out otome games are rare, which is odd, because romance novels are very popular here in America. Maybe that's the problem. Otome games would go over great in America ... maybe not so much in Japan it seems. ^^ (Girls spend too much time actually getting boys than pretending ...

Re: (i found him) By The Lake

The characters and background will be 2D (see the main post for concepts of characters), the artwork above is just something special.
Yes, they are the main characters. ^^

Re: (i found him) By The Lake

Character concept art is up! Colors may change. Again, the art is done by Sage . Also, a fully CG'd piece of artwork has been completed by erebusnight , but please note that actual in-game character art will be cell-shaded and done by Sage. http://lake.aleema.com/imgs/bradleydice_art.gif Cover art, ...

Re: Stopping advancement at custom menus

Look at the bottom of "day_planner.rpy" again. A large portion of the script seems to be dedicated to this -- it's rather hard to miss, actually.

Does "Guestbook" really need a whole forum? Why not a stickied thread in General Discussion?

Re: Help with displayables and menus please

DSE is a framework found here . And the RPG menus are actually found in the demo game included with Ren'Py. Do you remember seeing it there? Basically, you'll have to learn the UI functions, I believe. "ui.vbox", nested in a "ui.window" or "ui.frame" might do the trick....

Re: Help with displayables and menus please

^_^ Well, I've haven't seen a "1.5" pixel coordinate, but the decimal points in positioning items are under the assumption that the full width of the screen is equal to 1, so positioning something at 0.5 would be like positioning something at 50% the designated screen width (aka centering ...

Re: Admin Action 2008-06-14

I'm not sure how much critical feedback you'd get even if there were a dedicated board, because art is secondary to the original purpose of the forums and many posters may not have the skills to provide detailed critique. Somewhat more, probably, simply because it would be easier to organise and pi...

Re: indentation/block error? Beginner question, no doubt

"Jump" can be on the same indentation as the dialogue above it. It's expecting some other classifier that would house the "jump" command. But you just want it to happen after the text is said, right? Just leave it on the same indentation. Adding the colon (btw, don't) makes Ren'P...

Re: dynamic image or background possible?

Cool! I'm doing something like this in my game, too. However, I think I toned it down and made it a bunch of if/else statements -- but I had one simple variable that kept track of time. But that's temporary for the moment, so it's nice to see another version of it. From what little I know, I believe...
