Let me explain. All of my character sprite images are the same size. For quite a while now, I've been handling showing a change of emotion by just showing a small speech bubble with an exclamation mark in it over their heads. However, I think an easier way to do this would be to have a flashing whit...

Suppose you had a line of code with a really long bit of dialogue that said: sean "Once upon a time, a novice programmer stumbled upon a tool that would lead to his first ever game creation. It was the visual novel production tool known as Ren'py. Using it, our novice programmer created the bes...

Oh sure by all means if you just want to release it on this forum then that's okay. I'd only suggest that you, out of curiosity, would be explicit and upfront about how intense the scenes get.

okay then.... Anyway, it all depends on what your distribution mediums will be. If you are just releasing this game on a private website or in a private forum, then there should not be any problem. If you are going to distribute it on Steam... Then, you may have some trouble, but from what I know th...

good idea. Is there a way to add character objects to a Python list?

Lemme elaborate more. So, in a redesign I have been... considering... I want to make it so that the only character portrait that shows on screen is that of the currently speaking character. Now there are 2 positions the character can be on. The left side (usually the one the player character is in),...

To make a long story short; I need to place Ren'py images in a list so that the say screen can evaluate whether or not that image is in that list. image sean happy = .... My goal is to place this inside a list. However............... $ lefty = [sean happy] $ lefty = ["sean happy"] Neither ...

Is there any framework for creating a textbox (of a singular, non-gradient color) that is of a consistent width, but will automatically expand its own height to accomodate longer strings without having to change the font? And more specifically, is there a way to give the textbox a maximum height? Th...

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#call-screen It's explicitly stated here that you can provide a "with [transition]" when using a call screen. So for instance, call screen items with dissolve should work. But when I do the call screen supplying with, it does not work. And it's no...

The way I am writing my visual novel, there are 12 different positions a character's image is supposed to be at on-screen. There are two ways for each side (left/right) known as "left", "right", "farleft" and "farright". These are to be used when 1-2 images ar...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Personally, as someone who is making an amateur project (and isn't interested in shelling out any $ for the large amount of characters/backgrounds I have), I would find art the hardest part because I'd have to do it on my own were I not using stock assets.

Tutorial doesn't have any good examples. Any good code snippets showing how you can make that kind of screen?

I want to improve my game's UI and menu, and currently my "How to Play" and "Info" sections are just told through the VN system (where you click to advance text). Is there anyway to make an on-screen, vertical text box that the user can scroll down to view (and click a button to ...
