I'm writing a script at the moment and I'm literally writing scenes that are just full of actions/narration and monologue with little dialogue. Is this bad? Should visual novels have more dialogue than monologue and narrative? It's just, my main character doesn't talk much and neither do the people ...

Here's some advice from a guy who did start out on a huge project with no prior Ren'Py experience. Don't start out on a huge project with no prior Ren'Py experience. UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO. I've been working on this behemoth for 4 years now and frankly it's not going particularly well. It's horr...

The thing with Ren'py is that starting out you shouldn't really need to know how to code. You will need to know how to script, but that's different, and much easier. Customizing and jury-rigging the engine can come later, but your first priority should be simply getting the script right. Practicall...

Hey all! I'm really keen to start learning how to write and program my own visual novels using Ren'Py. I'm totally new to programming and Ren'Py. I've been writing as a hobby for a few years now. My question is, how should someone like me go about learning how to write and program a VN? Would you su...

Removing yalign=0.0 worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch for your help! ^w^

you can define more positions for your characters. use my midleft and midright code. $ midleft= Position(yalign=0.0,xalign=0.2) $ midright= Position(yalign=0.0,xalign=0.8) Hey, thanks for responding! I tried your code and it worked perfectly, except now my characters are floating. How do I make the...

Hey there, I'm new to Ren'py and I am struggling with how to move characters around the screen. I know how to use the "at left" and "at right" statements. But I don't know how to go about putting more than 3 characters on the screen without them over lapping each other. I've trie...

Thanks to everyone who responded! You all seem to have your own unique ways of getting the job done. That just goes to show that there is no "right" way to writing anything haha. I shall have to try some of the methods you guys suggested and see if they work for me. :3 Thanks a bunch and g...

Interestingly, I seem to have settled on a weird shorthand that is like half screenplay and half Ren'py code. It's not anything that I could like, have run straight out of the box, but it keeps me thinking about how I want things to appear on the screen. Here's the first scene with Nina (My Main Ch...

Hey all. I'm an amateur writer who is new to the Visual Novel medium. I'm currently trying to write my own VN project for the first time and I have a question. Should I go about writing a VN as I would a novel? Or should I write it like a screenplay? With choices of course! How do you guys go about ...
