Re: Universal character

I have been thinking about the same thing, myself. Something like Tezuka's Star System would be really fun, but I wonder if some kind of vetting system wouldn't be needed.

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

Another reason why I'll never use Photoshop.

"There is a serious bug in Photoshop CS 5.5 and earlier versions, that lets a hacker pwn your computer with a malicious TIFF file. Do you want it fixed? Pay up and get CS 6." WTF

Re: windows file demo

Is there a file ending in .exe? Failing that, just upload the zip file, that works in Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Programmer for Hire

If you have an idea for a custom mini-game, I can code it for you. I have written mini-games for two commercial visual novels, Gamelicious! and Icebound, and would love to work with other creators. Prices and delivery times will vary greatly with complexity, with US $200 to $500 and one to four week...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

Well, as a girl, the most important thing about her is her looks. Personality? Skills? PFFT! Women have to be pretty (conventionally pretty, mind you; anything but what society says is attractive is Not Pretty), otherwise what are they good for or how will you judge what they're worth as a person w...

Re: lists and dicts question

Dicts and objects are more self-documenting. And your performance bottleneck is your graphics, the difference in memory consumption is minimal.
List or individual variables, it depends. If you have to work with them as a group, list. If they are unique, variable.

Re: Fighting in a renpy game:do you want that?

Between timers, keymaps, and basic animation, you could have a viable fighting game. Not exactly Street Fighter, but fun nonetheless. Or you can drop into Pygame for something more serious. It will take a lot of effort, and you have to make sure it isn't too hard for the average VN reader, but if it...

Re: Protagonists that you would appreciate

Okay, I have a confession to make: I like "dense" protagonists in romance. Done right they are so incredibly funny! Bonus points for characters that actually noticed the other person's feelings, put played dumb because they had to solve their own hang-ups first.

Re: How do I call a screen with an imagebutton?

it's the equivalent to "ground", the image to display when the button is disabled (it can be the same image as idle if you never disable that button)
