Re: Resolution for VNs?

Yes, I understand that. And I agree that assets creations benefits from higher resolutions (I worked a lot of years as graphic designer). And all that technology to upscale stuff seems fascinating too. But that is not what the original question was. That was about how a VN should be now. And the ans...

Re: Resolution for VNs?

Also, at least think of future-proofing your own work. I don't plan on releasing a 4K visual novel anytime soon, but I make sure my assets can support that resolution. There is a game I was waiting to get translated and ported FOREVER, and when it arrived finally, it felt pretty bad - because it ha...

Re: Implementing Translations in Ren'Py [Updated Tutorial]

I can see some minor problems there. It would probably still work but there are some things that are not really needed or contradictory. First, there's no need to assign a default value to a persistent variable, by default they don't exist, so assign a None value to it it's superfluous. Second, the ...

Re: Test play Defenders of Adacan

Do you have a schedule for this? Right now I can't do it because I'm in the final stages of my own project and I'll be too busy, but in a week or two I think I could do it. Also, do you want to to be a normal playthrough, like one would normally play a game or do you want your testers to do nasty th...

Re: The Lost Smile [Mystery/Noir][Spanish/English][3D][Comic][Free]

Last update report: - Translation to english is finished - The Curse of The Lost Smile (™) keeps getting stronger: the first person who was going to check my translation fell ill, the second had to suddenly move to NY and is unavailable now. Still looking for someone (God have mercy on his/her soul).

Re: love meter event with more then one character.

If you want to happen when is exactly 0 then if charA >= 10 and charB == 0: There are several ways of coding ranges. Probably most of them a bit confusing at the stage you're now. The easiest way would be just combining several conditions. if (charA >= 10 and charA <=20) and (charB >= 0 and charB <=...

Re: love meter event with more then one character.

Just like you said

Code: Select all

if charA >= 10 and charB >= 10:
    # Here the event or a jump to it
If charB doesn't meet the requirement, it wouldn't execute de code below.

Re: Resolution for VNs?

I think this preference for larger sizes is getting a little out of hand. For most of the media used in VN's isn't really needed and can endure a reasonable scale up, even to full screen in larger screens. I have used 1088 x 612 and 1066 x 600 and I can see the assets just fine in my TV screen (larg...

Re: Changing fonts

So, I'm trying to change the fonts used in the dialog boxes among other things. I've seen screenshots of all these games that use bespoke fonts or other things that clearly aren't default GUI elements, but in defining a new font to use in the games, what happens if players don't have that font inst...

Re: Development Diary, Your Sushi bar (Romance,Simulation)

need to decide if I am going to go wither or not if I am going to use hand-drawn scenes and characters or traditional sprite and background set up. I am open to any suggestions. the reason I am contemplating hand drawn because I have noticed that many VNs the characters feel like they are separate ...

Re: Implementing Translations in Ren'Py [Updated Tutorial]

Thank you for this answer, it will be helpful ! I agreed, it's best to have the most polish version before translating, but I asked about modification because I need the sound designer to understand the text to add the music, and I can't find one in french so.... You can make a test project with a ...

Re: Implementing Translations in Ren'Py [Updated Tutorial]

I have a question, once the translation script are created, what happen if we modify the original one ? By adding music or image for example. Same, what happen if we want to add a new line of text ? I'm not sure what would happen if you add music or images, I guess nothing. But if you add some line...

Re: [solved] Audio "from" statement

It's not mandatory to include an end point, they're different things and can be used together or separatedly. I use this code in my project, which only includes a from point.

Code: Select all

play music "<from %d>%s" %(djtime, stripnf)
