Great, a game that's short enough for me to play and comment on. As with any critique, I think you should realize that my comments are my opinion, and you're under no obligation to follow them. First, I should say that I turned on the Auto-Forward option. :) The game flows very nicely, and I noticed...

So, what do you want to make unskippable exactly ? Some pause ? Some line of text ? Some sound ? And why do you want to make it unskippable ? Because the player is going to click around at that point of the story ? :/ Nothing, at the moment. I was just arguing from a hypothetical standpoint. DaFool...

You seem to be taking this as if we're planning to make the whole game "unclickable." I think that's far from the case. DaFool and I just wanted the bit of code for that one dramatic moment, or whatever. Personally, I never had any intention of disabling the player from being able to click...

I would argue filler text is not always a bad thing. You need to spend some time getting people to know and like your main characters, before throwing them through the wringer. But I would argue that at that point, it ceases being filler text because it's now serving a purpose: letting the player g...

Actually, PyTom pretty much understood what I was asking when he answered my question. I'm still not sure I agree with whether I should or shouldn't do it (it is a KN, after all) because there are people who might play it who won't be as familiar with Ren'Py. *shrug* But anyway, DaFool brings up an ...

Ok, another question. Is there a way to set the sliders at some sort of default (other than max) so that it'll run that way every time, and I don't have to tell players to fix it themselves?

Thanks, PyTom, I understand now, and I got it to work for me. I saw those sliders, but I guess I didn't recognize them for what they were.

Thanks for replying so quickly. I don't know what you're talking about. I tried hitting tab, and it just acts like Ctrl. There's no "start skipping" in my menu. :?

Edit: Ok, I looked again and found the button, but it's grayed out.

Auto-play feature?

I know Ren'Py has one, but I can't seem to figure out what the code for it is. Hopefully it's not too complicated to implement, as I'd love to put it in my KN.

Thanks.

If you'll allow me to be personal for a moment, I just want to say thanks for taking my comments so well. Usually when I try to help out, people just get defensive or ignore me completely, so this was a welcome change. As for the cliquish thing, I'll admit that you might be nicer than most. Even if ...

Well, I can give you the impressions of someone who's new to the program. I can't really tell you how to fix it, that's your job. First, the main site is very non-user-friendly. I realize that you're trying to redesign it, but I'm not sure that the redesign is all that great. I know you love your ro...

You know what they say about eyes, and the windows to the soul? I think that's what's going on here. Nice, appealing eyes and pretty colors, even though the quality isn't sound yet. You can see the potential there, you know what I mean? I'll have to agree :). "Potential" is definitely the...

Self-imposed deadlines aren't all that effective though, for obvious reasons. There is no one but you who you are answering to. I guess it depends on the individual - I've found self-imposed deadlines can be very effective. But that's definitely a can be rather than an are ... ;-) Well, I can tell ...

I tried it on my computer, but I couldn't make it crash. I'm a little disappointed. I was really hoping it would so that I could help. I did what you recommended, scrolling back, then skipping forward (over 100 times, I'm sure); skipping through the program over and over; restarting the program, the...

Here's a few of the most recent pieces of mine. Mostly I'm just sharing, and not really looking for C&C, because I already know what the problems are with these pictures, but I'd just like to hear your responses. First, they're in descending order from the date of completion. Also, I'm terrible ...
