As a developer, I understand the need for this tutorial. As a human being, I detest ads so much. Ads are truly vile. On mobile devices, they really aggravate users because they BREAK IMMERSION (something many have talked about) and are easily accidentally touched and it takes you out of your game ap...

If you think in a "meta" light, life itself has been done trillions of times. Human life has been done billions of times. Nothing is ever truly original, yet everything is unique in some way. Like snowflakes.

My goal is to catch up over the break. I would have been on schedule had the accident not happened, though I still had complications in my schedule due to rigorous education courses. I'll get back on track soon. On the bright side, I've just been offered a good position at a library so I'm very happ...

I wrecked my car this week only 3 blocks from my house ;( I'm ok, but the car is totaled. I feel horrible because it was scary and I keep seeing the crash in my head. And smelling that horrible radiator smoke. Airbags hurt. Anyway, my car was the newest at 16years and less than 85k miles on it (gift...

Sorry for no demo up yet, guys. School and life have thrown me stressful curve-balls... I was in a car accident. I'm ok, but my car is totaled and I'll have to pick up the job searching since my current job doesn't pay nearly enough to help replace this car... thankfully my parents are helping me, b...

Many thanks, I'm going to check that out!

One more question- is there an easy way to set specific on-screen location for sprites since I'll be cramming 8 of them onscreen? I know show left and show right won't be sufficient for this...

I would use calls if the conversation is long and complicated and has a bunch of menus, but no jumps in it.
Otherwise, hard code the conversations where you want them to the best of your ability and stack the menus reasonably like namastaii demonstrated.

To clarify, if I throw the sprites up themselves on screen, can I add code to make them clickable? For example, the question would be "Who do you want to help? (Is it feasible to squeeze 8 characters on the screen to do this?) Or would you recommend making a screen with the sprites arranged on ...

This sounds cute. I'll be keeping an eye on this game thread.

This should help

Quick Update: I have a teaching demonstration due this week and a paper AND now a horrendous coding homework assignment, with lots of methods, for java, using arrays...gulp! So, I'll still release the demo, but it will mainly feature the first four characters introductions; I'll release an updated d...

Here's Lily. Now all the characters are completely done and ready for the demo. :) I would love feedback on the characters and their profiles, please! http://static.wixstatic.com/media/cbb695_320f089bd0024680b7c0f435b41bd0d6.png_srz_p_267_346_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_png_srz A huge shoutout to ChozoGal ...

True. It should always be an option, not a requirement. I get that some people are very shy (or are very far away in foreign countries!) Still, there might be some who want to go there. (Uh-oh, I didn't get the blessing to keep speaking! )

I feel like there should be a subcategory for this possibly in the general discussion... or under the game jam information. Someone should maybe ask a mod about this? There are lots of meet ups and write-ins for NaNoWriMo, so during game jams people could do "Code-in's" at the library or a...

Actually, yes- there's the option to ignore romance and just chat with everyone. I'm going to have it trigger messages to the player where it's a choice of whom they could pursue, something like this: "I didn't expect to fall for someone on a short trip. It seems like wishful thinking to me... ...
