Re: Save my HD!

Hm, Murphy's law is likely to strike if you make only one backup. A backup medium can become unreadable anytime, and then you're in trouble should your source get corrupted. The backup frequency should depend on the impact of a possible loss, IMO. Once a month is not enough if you're working full-ti...

Re: Save my HD!

Great news! And immediately when you get your PC back you will make one backup to a USB stick, then one to another USB stick, one to an external HD, one to a CD/DVD, and one to an online backup service. Oh yeah, and copy it to your mobile phone, too. (What do you mean, "too much?" That's w...

Re: If I Did It

Looking at papillon's experience with commercial releases and quality standards, I like the idea and am curious to see its results. As far as my own projects are concerned though, I'll be working at my own pace without looking at contests. When a VN is completed, I will release it, be there a contes...

Re: About menu placement

Sure, just download my re-release of "GO! Magical Boy" , which uses the tweaked NVL menu. Script source is included. Your settings will vary depending on what you want to achieve. In this case, to the player the menu looks exactly like the dialogue text box. I had to set the following vari...

Re: GO! Magical Boy

Hello everyone, After two and a half years, G!MB has now been upgraded from Ren'Py 5.4.4. to 6.8.0. (quite a jump). Thus the present release 006 *should* be compatible with Windows Vista, and at last proper Linux and MacOS versions exist, too. http://www.kolumbus.fi/sapora/RSC/G!MB-6.0-linux-x86.tar...

Re: About menu placement

Wow, thanks a lot for your help! I've experimented around a bit, but noticed it would take too much time, especially since the functionality is already existing in NVL mode. It took me a few days until I realized that tweaking the NVL menu is the least time-consuming way to do it. I've now moved the...

Re: About menu placement

I seem to have the same issue - neither uncommenting layout.button_menu() in options.rpy nor setting button_menu = False works. Running Ren'Py 6.7.1. downloaded today. Edit: To clarify, I attempted to recover the "old school" menu choices, i.e. displayed as text in the dialogue box, like i...

Re: Terminology Thread

We have the terms Kinetic Novel for completely linear story, Visual Novel for story + menus without looping, and various types of Sim games. To me, the term "Visual Novel" does not imply interactivity. Paper novels usually aren't interactive (although they can be). Therefore I've always a...

Re: Website Update (2008-10-09)

That's a good point. My plan was to update G!MB to the latest Ren'Py version and to include its sources at the same time. Actually I wanted to finish my current project first, but then again maybe I should rethink the priorities...
