Sadly, I'm not able to make it work. Sensitive seems to be working for me. How did you declare allowInteraction variable? You should declare it with default statement and outside of a label. You can also try SensitiveIf() . Here's the code I used to test. default allowInteraction = 0 screen test: f...

This is something I've been considering myself. So far I'm all for releasing the complete game, even if it takes longer. The reason is pretty much what's been described above. There are certainly advantages to updating your game periodically or making multi-part games, but as a player I'm not often ...

Try using the sensitive property of button : imagebutton: xpos 202 ypos 750 idle "cauldron.png" hover "cauldronbright.png" sensitive allowInteraction == 1 action Jump("cauldronSelected") Or If() screen action: imagebutton: xpos 202 ypos 750 idle "cauldron.png"...

NameError: global name 'name' not defined means that somewhere in your code, before that if statement is called, there should exist a variable called name . The error message is pointing at an if statement that's trying to reference that variable's value but cannot find it. Are you sure that name i...

Sublime is very good, but I personally use Visual Studio Code.

It's free, lightweight (for me it takes much less time to load than Atom), supports version control and it has a free Ren'Py language extension, though it might not be updated as regularly as the officially supported IDEs.

Try wrapping everything inside a frame (or a fixed), and set the alignment on that frame. For example:

You can find the "about" screen in screens.rpy file in your project's folder. Search for: It's a normal screen, you just can edit the vbox there and add your credits inside with more text statements.

You should define the function in an init python block, outside of a label. The python block (without the init) is used to run python code from inside a label, but I'm not sure it allows for function definition.

There are no up-to-date and beginner-friendly navigation systems that I know of, the newest one dates to something like 2015-2017, but I think it might still work. I'm currently working on my own, I might release to the cookbook if I determine it is useful, but these are more complicated than it see...

I don't think having characters speaking off-screen is a bad thing. I agree that player's focus is more likely to be on the dialogue that in the camera and sprites. That's not to say you shouldn't care about the sprites and the camera, as it can be a nice touch to animate it as long as its consistan...

You're trying to run a say statement from an init python block. You need to use renpy.say(), the statement equivalent function instead for it to work in python.
Instead of: Use:

DISCLAIMER: I'm not 100% sure about this, as I haven't been able to find relevant documentation. I edited my first post a bit to clarify the wording, but in this case, a context is sort of like a mode, a particular state the program enters depending if you're calling a screen, invoking a pause or st...

I don't know the exact internal specifics for this, but as far as I understand it (hope I'm not wrong), an interaction occurs any time Ren'Py is waiting for input from the player. Clicking on a Menu button, advancing the dialogue text by clicking or pressing enter, anytime the player has to "in...

Is there a way to force the hyperlink to call the screen instead of show? If not, any other suggestions as to how to get the quick_menu to hide with a hyperlink? Try using showmenu instead of show for the hyperlink argument. "I have {a=showmenu:info}info{/a} for you." If it doesn't work, ...

This is an amazing game! Beautiful art, an intriguing and enganging story, unique characters, and great music. The first is episode one of the best demo episodes I've ever had the pleasure to play, really well written and structured. Great job so far, I'm really looking forward to future episodes!
