Re: The Road to 6.13

I took note of the location of the quickbar. While there is a Ui theory for things that are flush to the side of the screen being easier to click, it may become hard for people that play in windowed mode since they may accidentally click outside of the window. Just an observation and a consideration...

Re: Floating Frame Director style in Ren'py?

The asymmetrical frames coming in 6.13 might be useful.

Re: Asymetrical Frames in Renpy?

Currently in frames, you have xborder and yborder. I want to specify leftborder and rightborder such that they are not equal. Same with topboarder and bottomboarder. In case it can't be done yet, I also want to be able to specify any of them as 0. I would like to have buttons that, let's say on hove...

Asymetrical Frames in Renpy?

Theoretically implementing asymetrical frames shouldn't be too hard to implement if you have frames as they are now. Can something like this be done?

Re: Blur effect?

Haha! I must commend Alex on the fast blur technique. This is how some older games without shaders used to do it. I implemented it in a shader. This totally won't work nearly as fast on software rendering mode. Use the pre-blur technique for that. Or use this technique to pre-blur on load so you don...

Re: 6.12.x: Translation Support

I never did any translation for my games so far, but if I was doing it I would: 1. dump all the game dialogue strings using dump_text.rpy you wrote a time ago (don't know if it's somewhere in Renpy website/cookbook but I still have it if needed), leaving an empty line after each say statement. This...

Are you self-taught or did you learn from a post-secondary education?

Re: Anime Expo Visual Novel Developer Meetup!

I am the person who suggested this on twitter. I was getting a lot of requests to meet up and I have a lot of things to take care of at AX. That is why I suggested this so we can all meet up with each other at once. I'll probably be making another thread posting my VN related schedule so that everyo...

Re: 6.12.x: Translation Support

Haha... programming some really funky C# with decorators and reflection gave me those ideas. Yeah... ids should definitely be optional. Another idea to give flexiblity for translators as they might need to insert new lines is to allow something like an "say id" block in the translation fil...

Re: 6.12.2: Hardware Survey

Hmm... that is an interesting issue. I guess my opinion is that if official support has long been discontinued, the non-power-users wouldn't be left with options if warranties expired and something goes wrong with their computer. Trying to fix it might be more expensive and require some power user k...

I think it would useful to have a decorator or "id" of identifying the next say statement. alex id scene20-23 "Itadakimasu is hard to translate to English" id scene20-23 voice "scene20-23.ogg" ryan "But Alex... we have to insert more lines into this localization!&q...

Re: Floating Frame Director style in Ren'py?

It's definitely possible. You'll just have to know the ATL language. In-script ATL is something you'll have to learn... not too hard for you to do yourself. Also you'll probably be abusing the reload shortcut key CTRL-R.

Re: 6.12.2: Hardware Survey

This sounds even more potentially-problematic, to me - how are you going to make the information available to the game-maker? Does it go to their server (most game-makers probably don't have or couldn't configure a server with software to receive the data)? Does it go to your server and you allow t...

Re: 6.12.2: Hardware Survey

I would say that asking on the quit screen is a very good idea. My suggestions earlier were made because I noticed that there are still new computers being sold that are mini-pc's/eepcs 1.5-2.0 GHz with the atom processors and no less than 1GB of memory. And some of those things looks like they only...
