Re: Our Personal Space [Romance] [Drama] [Sci-fi] [Life Sim]

The alpha is completed, and we are currently working on the beta. Our completion date depends a lot on our artist, but I'm projecting that we will probably be done early 2015. The beta may be finished earlier than that, so I will be sure and post here when it is finished to get feedback from all of ...

Error in Style Properties Documentation

There is an error in the Style Properties documentation in the example code. There should be no "=" sign between the property and the value: # The button text is yellow when selected, and white # otherwise. style button_text: color = "#fff" selected_color = "#ff0" Also,...

Re: Taarradhin [GxB, GxG] [NaNoRenO 2014]

Beautiful characters and backgrounds - the details in the scenes and characters tell volumes just in themselves. And I love how the GUI is so simple, but fits the setting so well. I liked how it was a sort of Egypt-style world without being exactly Egypt. The writing was very tight, giving us just e...

Re: Stained with Magic: Chasing Whispers

I'm really interested in this project! I like the philosophical angle and world-building you've done here. Also, your Youtube video is pretty awesome!

Re: Personal Space [Romance] [Drama] [Sci-fi] [Life Sim]

UPDATE: Redid the description, added a logo, etc. Hey, thanks for the feedback Daarkess! You inspired me to redo the description on the first page; hopefully it's better now. :-) One of the reasons I chose to go with photo backgrounds is that I can do them myself for free, and also we have a lot of ...

Re: Basiliska [Fantasy][KN]

Beautiful GUI, and the sprites were very expressive. I love how Cecily's expression of hiding something or annoyance is to smoke her pipe. :-D I was hoping for the story to go at a little quicker pace (some of the dialogue seemed to go around in circles over and over), and I am curious to know how t...

Re: Wedding Vows - a Kinetic Short Story Anthology

As I'm working on a VN about a newly married couple, I thought I'd play yours and see what your take on that idea was. :) I loved how you followed the couple all through the years. Too many stories only tell about the falling-in-love part. And, yeah, even though a lot of parts felt a little sugary a...

Re: Personal Space [Romance] [Drama] [Sci-fi] [Life Sim]

Time for a new update! My kids are now all in school, so I have more time to devote to finishing up this project! I am currently: * running through feedback from the last alpha tester * rewriting portions of the Dating Sim Engine to support screen language * making the GUI look as professional as po...

Re: DSE redone with screen language?

OK, I will at least be updating it to use screen language, and then will see about the stats portion. Glad to hear people may find it useful!

DSE redone with screen language?

Hey everyone! I am using the DSE (Dating Sim Engine) heavily in my visual novel, and now find it necessary to update it to use the new(ish) screen language. Before I begin, however, I wanted to ask if anyone else is already doing this, and if anyone else would be interested in it. It doesn't seem li...

Re: Screen Elements Being Put Outside the Window

Thank you! I had no idea you had to use "has" - that wasn't really explained anywhere in the screen language documentation. That's exactly what I needed to know. :-) But... shouldn't an hbox with 3 vboxes be the same as a grid 3 1 ? It seems to be the same with simpler examples, so I don't...

Re: Loading up Renpy VS Typing up a document

I outline in Google Docs, and then write the code directly. I need the feedback of being able to try what I've written right away! Although, like Mad Harlequin said, you don't have to load up Ren'Py to edit your .rpy files - you can just open them with any text editor (notepad, editra, jedit, vi, em...

Screen Elements Being Put Outside the Window

Hey everyone! I'm trying to learn screen language to make a custom monthly menu for my game; so far it seems pretty straightforward, but Ren'Py is not putting the elements where I would have thought it should. I want to have three columns, with different sections in each column going down. But it is...

Re: Using real life cultures/locations is appropriation?

I figured it might be better off if I make a fictional world with it's own rules that has the feel of Hong Kong. The tricky part is figuring out how the fantastical elements effect the social everyday lives in people and how they effect generations. Yes, exactly. What sort of fantastical elements a...
