Re: Rewarding readers for obtaining bad ends?

If you can't write a good bad ending, then cut it. Don't let the player make the decisions that would lead to it. I agree with LateWhiteRabbit; every route should be an enjoyable story. If you removed all the other routes and turned it into a KN that led to your bad end, maybe the heart-warming stor...

Re: Problem with DSE: invalid syntax

You're welcome. The problem is in code like " and day % 30 = 0". One equals sign means variable assignment; for comparison you have to use two equal signs, like this: " and day % 30 == 0"

Confusing, I know. But you get used to it after a while.

Re: Problem with DSE: invalid syntax

The error is happening while evaluating those strings with the events' conditions. At least one of them contains invalid Python code. Can you post your full list of events?

Re: DSE Name Error not defined?

The problem is where the double quotes are. The correct is: $ event("unclean", "act == 'clean' and dirty >=10", event.only(), priority=210) Basically, Ren'Py takes this string and evaluates it several times during the game. With the variable "dirty" outside the string, ...

Looks great, but Windows-only. Give me Linux/Android and I'm all over it.

Re: Visual Novel/RPG hybrid game?

It is easier to add visual novel elements to RPG Maker than the other way around. Don't worry about making the game "heavier", your assets (art, music, sounds) will influence the game's download size and performance more than the engine you are using.

Re: how to make renpy.full_restart directed to customized sc

Strange, I tried it with the preferences screen before posting and it worked. Can you post the statement you are using to define your screen? A couple of lines should be enough.

Re: Most Well Written Game You've Ever Played?

Ever 17 *blew* *my* *mind* even though I managed to spoil myself going to the Wikipedia page.

$ event("weeklyevent", "act == 'eventname1' and day % 7 = 0", priority=200) $ event("biweeklyevent", "act == 'eventname2' and day % 15 = 0", priority=200) % is the module (division remainder) operator. You can use the same idea to show different choices in th...

$ renpy.full_restart(target="extra_screen")

Shouldn't there be a button there?

Code: Select all

screen inventory_scr:
    hbox:
        xalign 0.5 yalign 0.4
        imagebutton:
            insensitive "icon.png" 
            idle "icon.png" 
            hover "icon.png"
