I have set a beta release date for September 19. The beta will have the complete text of Chapter 1, and whatever graphics and placeholders I can create by then (help is very welcome!). Likely there will be no music yet, but hey, it's a beta, right? I am considering making alpha binary releases from ...

I've been on the road for two weeks, on the way to college. It took so long because Dad wanted to see the national parks along the way. I didn't realize until the last park that this was a good opportunity to get background photos for Yesoidos. Oh well. At least I have some forest pics now. I have a...

I found a nice font, but then discovered that Ren'py cut off the descenders of letters like j and y. I fixed it in Fontforge after some research turned up this article: http://osdir.com/ml/fonts.fontforge.user/2005-09/msg00018.html . Woohoo! I've mostly been editing and expanding chapter 1, refining...

I've just come back from Yeshiva, and I'm refining and writing more text. In between packing for college and various chores, I'll try to add more to the story. Later!

Ok, I got the web site back up and running. Here's a link: http://yesoidos.sf.net Some parts of the web site have been rewritten, and there is a system in place for organizing new content as I add it in. It makes sure the left navigation bar has links to all parts of the site, and makes it easier to...

Sourceforge has restructured its website, so work on reinstalling the web site is underway.

By the way, the reason the sourceforge.net website has not been changed recently is that I have been testing the new website about every other day on my laptop before uploading it. I mostly copied the web site appearance into a Drupal theme based on Zen, but then my text editor went wonky and cleare...

Progress continues on a new project website for Sourceforge. I've been converting it to use a content management system called Drupal, so that whenever I decide to release more information, it's easy. I won't have to copy/paste the navigation menu code and change it on all the pages, or modify all t...

These are the rough music samples I promised earlier. Both of these are played by the computer, so some artifacts are noticeable. A Klezmer melody for Sholom Aleichem, written in 2008. http://yesoidos.sourceforge.net/Sholom%20Aleichem.mp3 A Horn trio, depicting a prince chased from his castle. Proba...

Yahoo! The Yesoidos home page is up on Sourceforge!

The latest sources will be accessible via SVN, if you know how to use that. I will also periodically package my source files in a tarball so that you can run it using the Ren'Py Launcher.

I figured out why the transitions didn't work. Because I used the {fast} tag to display all the text at once, it disabled any following transitions. I decided to use a built-in ParameterizedText object called "text" instead. These objects are treated like images, so they appear all at once...

I have also decided to release the source code for Yesoidos. I plan on dividing my content into two main categories. Art I will retain all rights to any artistic material I produce, to maximum extent allowed by law. Code On the other hand, I will share my code structures and strategies freely, under...

After looking through some stuff I've composed over the years, I thought that it was on par with what most other VNs have. So, I decided to try using my own music with Yesoidos. There will be two main categories of music. One will be a selection of broad, melodic, orchestral music. The other will be...

Yes, I am still looking for artists. Do you do backgrounds, menus, character art? Or all of them?

I've done some more thinking about the novel. I decided that the first section of the first chapter wasn't dynamic enough, and needed to be played out more. As a result, I'm taking that material and rewriting it in a more expansive, "epic," form. The second section of the first chapter, Th...
