At this point in time, it's quite easy to make something with HTML5. You can use regular images or with <canvas> you can use all sorts of bitmap techinques. SVG is also a very good option, since vector graphics look good at any resolution and they're really small. There is audio support, with handy ...

I first asked for it about 3 years ago. I still think it's a much more reasonable default setting. Those who want to, can still clear screen manually.

Doesn't seem to be very high on PyTom's issue list and not easily implemented by anyone else, though.

ArtRage Pro, although I am thinking of moving on to vector art for my projects.

I am an avid collector of drawing books. In addition to Loomis, I can heartily recommend a number of other authors. Jack Hamm, who has a very laconic style of teaching. Huge number of examples on relatively few pages. Great for reference. Betty Edwards, who teaches you to draw by tricking you. Excel...

I'm using tumblr at the moment - http://luminarious.tumblr.com - and I intend to finish the theme before the end of the month. At some point, investing in a domain would be a smart idea. I spent a lot of time looking at different portfolio sites but in the end decided they weren't worth it. Also, wi...

Maybe I sound a bit like Roscharch here but that's how I see it:
Being yourself is not behaving like you always have, it's never compromising your inner values. It helps if you accept that there are no ways to shield yourself. All you can do is strive for excellence, adapting if need be.

Amon Tobin - "Hey Mr. Tee"

I am in some serious like with his stuff right now.

I don't really understand what the big issue here is. A website can at any given moment find out what your IP, browser, operating system, screen resolution, preferred language, mobile device make, colour depth or last visited pages were. All without asking a single thing from you or telling you. How...

I'd suggest looking into Inno Setup, it's freeware and imho easier to use than NSIS.

I don't know what 3D program you're using, but it doesn't look too good. I photoshopped it for 10 minutes, and to my eyes it looks a bit better. Important thing is that now it looks less like a cheap rendering and more like artistic intent. Unfortunately, it also brings out the faulty composition: t...

Actually, the term for the person who's job is to fill in the base colours is 'flatter'. General good practise is to do it in photoshop or similar tool and put all the colours on a single layer. Important thing is to use the pencil tool or similarly aliased tool (no smoothing of the edges), so that ...

I'm designing a VN editor-creator-packager for use with Glint 3D engine. I can't code for the life of me, but I have a pretty good idea what kind of tools I want and how they should look like.

Are you coding from scratch or could we exchange ideas?

Trying to figure out the subsets of fonts to include probably isn't feasible - it's a complex task, and Ren'Py includes a ton of features that let you generate text. Trying to figure out all the text a game might make is likely an impossible problem. Also, I don't think the bitmat font exception is...

One approach would be to automatically convert all fonts at build time into bitmap fonts. Bit of work, sure, but game creators could then just copy to game folder all the fonts they intend to use and not worry about licences. Because the font files itself would never be bundled. I see this as the be...

I must also mention Glint 3D that I am currently learning. It's a Lua-based 2D/3D engine based on Irrlicht for the 3D part. Supports different sound environments, skyboxes, has the GUI framework in place.. not sure about video support yet. He released the 1.0 version a few months ago and afaik, hasn...
