Re: Organizing Your Script and General Workflow

Thanks for the insight, guys!!!!

I'm going to try that tool tomorrow, OokamiKasumi.

I'm hoping I can also find a similar tool for my ipad/ipod so I can write while away from my computer.

Re: Backgrounds - some questions for a newb

There is OokamiKasumi's awesome tutorial: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=14215 Susan Thanks for the link, Susan! I gave this a try but it seemed like it wasn't going right for me...maybe because I was using GIMP instead of Photoshop. The concepts involved in the tutorial ...

Re: Obscura's Game

Updated one character, Cody, the player's best friend, as well as tried to change the look of my background u...

Re: Summer Found Me [GxB][Slice of life]

I'm in the middle of playing the demo right now...just want to say this looks beautiful. The game feels really polished and you paid attention to details! I like how the personalities are humorous and distinct from one another. Very impressed! Ok, just taking a moment to reply. Going back to your ga...

Organizing Your Script and General Workflow

Hey everyone! Do you have any advice about organizing your dialogue and in-game menu choices as you write? I'm writing my dialogue and plot straight in Ren'Py, but my menu choices are multiplying like crazy. It's like a tree with branches that keeps on multiplying... What is your process when you wr...

Re: Obscura's Game

How realistic will your setting and tone be? Even if you use non-realistic art, you can still tell a plausible, down-to-earth story. You can tell a more fantastic story with harem elements and unrealistic characters. And you can tell a story which is somewhere between those two extremes. Do you int...

Re: Obscura's Game

So your game is going to be cartoon-like but not cartoony?, your game looks intresting. I like to date male characters, i sometimes play games that have characters that are guys, who have the leading role in the games. Well, I don't want the characters to look photorealistic, but I don't want them ...

Hi everyone! I'm working on my first Ren Py visual novel and would love to hear any feedback! My game is tentatively called "Coming Out on Top". It's a dating sim(?) where you play the intrepid main character, 22 year old Mark. The game begins when you come out as gay to your best friends,...

Re: Ren'Py Gripes

This isn't a gripe--so far I am having a great time with the program...but is there anyway to get a Ren Py game into iOS so it could become a downloadable iphone or iPad app? What kind of resources would you need to design something that would port games in a standardized fashion? (in terms of time ...

Show and Hiding Shortcuts for a Dialogue?

Forgive me if I'm not using the proper terminology here...I'm working on my first Ren'Py game! Let's say I have a background and a conversation with 2 characters, A and B. Both of them are talking to the player. I want to switch between characters A and B's images each time they talk. So far it look...

Backgrounds - some questions for a newb

Hi all. I'm working on my first game and still learning as I go! Right now I have "placeholder" sketches for my characters and am just using some living room photos from google to use as backgrounds. A temporary substitute while I write out the game. I'm wondering if anybody has some good ...

Re: Tips for a Beginner Creating a Dating Sim?

Thanks much everyone! This forum is so supportive. I'm trying a little bit of everything right now, and am currently just writing straight into the program because I found it a little easier than I anticipated (though the quotation marks really throw me off.) This may change if the plot gets more co...
