Re: New to Ren'Py? This might answer it! [troubleshooting]

Ooh, a commonly-asked questions thread is a good idea! Might be a nice thing to sticky as well. :) Several things that have helped me in the past: 1. The Ren'Py FAQ lists a lot of common questions and might be a good place to start looking if you have a specific issue. 2. For people completely new t...

Button selection issues with shared actions

Hi, guys! So I’ve been having this problem with buttons in Screen Language. Namely, if I have multiple buttons that share the same Screen Action (e.g. they play the same sound, set the same variable to 0, etc.), all the buttons appear as selected when I only click one button. I can’t figure out how ...

Re: WIP/Idea threads: What turns you on/off

Ah, it’s great that this topic popped up! I was just thinking about how to make my first WIP thread, so it’s good to see everyone’s thoughts. What I personally look for is: Visuals Opens with an eye-catching logo, title screen, or promo art. Art of some sort – sprites, GUI, backgrounds, maybe CGs. P...

Re: Planet EVN

Hi, PyTom! Would it be alright to get my game blog added to the feed as well? I'm a lurker of Planet EVN, so it would be really cool to see my blog there, too. :D http://variablexgames.blogspot.com/ By the way, someone mentioned in a previous post that editing Blogspot posts will cause them to reapp...

Re: Writing, Art, Or Coding...What Do You Find the Hardest?

My preference among writing, art, and coding tends to fluctuate depending on my mood. I'm not as conscientious about coding as the other two, though - as long as something works, I'm happy with it. Even if the actual code is very ugly and convoluted, at least no one will see it, right? In general, I...

Re: Summer Found Me [GxB][Slice of life]

Ah! I played this demo when it first came out, but never commented because I didn’t have an account at the time. So terrible, I know. So I’m glad I saw this thread again, because I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your game! The effort you put into the presentation really shows. I love the glas...

Re: Styling specific menu choices

apricotorange, you are awesome - I just tried your code, and it's exactly what I wanted! Thanks for replying so quickly, too! A note to anyone else using the python code - you might need to write "import re" right before "def split_choice_caption(caption)" (no quotes). Again, tha...

Styling specific menu choices

Hi all! I was wondering if there was a way to change the style (background image, color, etc.) of a specific menu choice based on a variable. Right now, I am duplicating each choice with different text tags based on my variable, e.g.: menu: "Choice is not colored." if variable == False: ju...

Re: Grayscaling a LiveComposite Image

I hope it's alright to bump this question, as it's something that I've also been wondering about. I've been under the impression that it is currently impossible to tint/grayscale entire LiveComposites, based on these threads: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7015 http://lemma...

Re: What was the first visual novel you played?

The first VN I ever played was actually a Lemmasoft game called Dream Savior Gakuen several years ago. I had never heard of VNs before and thought it was the coolest thing at the time. It really inspired me to try making my own VN. :D I used to stalk the forums for the sequel , too, but sadly it see...

Hello, everybody! My name is Arowana (after the cool fish ).
