Firstly, what is the difference between the following two definitions. Don't they both create displayables? But only the second one can be used in an ATL expression statement? image something = "some_image.png" $ something = im.Image("some_image.png") Secondly, is there any way t...

Well, the only thing about writing in your home language is that not many people will be able to enjoy it. If your main aim is for others to enjoy your game... it is a shame though. English is such a b*ized language, it's got words taken from everywhere, and don't let me get started on American Engl...

You can take this as an indication of the health of Visual Novels. As soon as a genre or medium becomes popular, you get more and more generic copies of the same old thing being churned out. It is the same in the manga industry in Japan. There are so many plain, completely formulaic (and often bad) ...

Update: Basics Python version that does (pretty much) what the octave version did is operational. I don't have any pics to show yet. That's because of a quirk in the differences between the way Octave and svg coordinates work. In other words, the output I get at the moment is correct, but it's upsid...

Over here (http://wiki.renai.us/wiki/Character_Art) are some free character sprites - it may help to have a look at how they're built up.

backansi: Ah, I misinterpreted what you said ^^;
That is a possibility, but I gave the ATL code because (besides not knowing that function) it is the way of the future. And as far as I'm concerned, even though it tends to spread over more lines, ATL is a bit clearer to read.

Looks good so far. Recommendation is to make the component selection a bit easier. Possibly a slider to select, or a tree view? Also, images are quite small.

n should be a number determined by (width of the screen/window)/(width of the background image) That means 'n is a ratio'. Of course it's a ratio. I didn't use the term on purpose. Hanyu, you can paste the text of your code rather than take a picture in future. Alright, how to calculate that n: You...

Ren'Py script is structured i such a way that there are special blocks of code called init blocks where definitions and init ializations are done. From the Reference : The init statement is used to execute blocks of Ren'Py statements before the script executes. Init blocks are used to define images ...

What specifically? Can you post the error and the code that you used?

I would really recommend that you don't do this. Sizing up a picture can (will) make it look bad. An alternative to doing it in Ren'Py is to manually resize in your image editor instead and then blur, but I don't know that I would really recommend that either, depending on the backgrounds. Anyway, t...

In order to run jEdit you need Java. Go to http://www.java.com/getjava/ and it should automatically detect your os so that you get the right version. The other alternative is to use another editor. On the Ren'Py site, if you click on editors on the side it will give you the option to download the ot...

I think I may have totally misunderstood >_< I also didn't necessarily mean that you would necessarily have Ren'Py handle svg as a built in feature or something - I was just supposing that once it had OpenGL support it would be possible to set that up. I did a google search when the subject first ca...

It would make it possible, but that isn't necessarily generally true. If you used the OpenGL and had vector graphics, you could easily resize them to whatever screen size you wanted. But in the case of bitmap images, that advantage doesn't exist. You would have to resize the images anyway, or have s...

Looks good. One thing I do note is that the art looks a bit too "clean" and not "gritty" enough. What I mean is really that there's not enough texture to the surfaces. Possible solutions include more varied line widths (not lines of different widths so much as varying widths in a...
