Re: File Organization

Amazing. I could swear up and down I've tried that before to no avail, and yet it works now without issue. Thanks for the help. I'm going to go brain myself with a Unix manual now.

File Organization

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it yet, so I figure I'll ask it now. Is it possible to further organize files within the "game" folder? I know I could just create a new folder, but how would I tell Ren'Py to search for a file in a different location other than just ...

Re: Guestbook

Name's Gear. I'm working on a game called the Time Stones. I like mushrooms, and I'm wearing red briefs with mistletoe on the front.

...what?

Re: A "Professional" Game

"Professional" has nothing to do with the intrinsic quality of a game. It just means that someone who works for commercial profit made it. (ie. the game was made to turn a buck) There are a lot of professional games that suck compared to ones made by amateurs. I disagree. A game can be pr...

Re: A "Professional" Game

Hah! I meant that I understand that the story, sfx, and visuals are important, but all VN's have those. I'm talking about small nuances that make Capcom's different from a rookie's game. Stuff like how sprites are transitioned, or how text is displayed on the screen. Ultimately, what are some of the...

I'm sure I'm going to sound like a tard for asking this, but how does that code work, exactly?

Re: Does Many Endings Encourage or Discourage Players?

I like multiple endings...IF they're well done. Each needs to be distinct, be preceeded by long branches that differ from the alternates, and have endings that are true to the characters, storyline, and other factors throughout the game. I will go for them all IF the game was good. If the game leave...

A "Professional" Game

What do you feel makes a visual novel "professional"? Okay, let me try to explain in depth. We've all played the "hi-quality" or "professional" visual novels that the big guys publish like Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, and the others. We've also all p...

Re: Whats your opinion on bad endings?

I think that the Autosave feature in Ren'Py is helpful here... In dating Sims, I don't like to have bad endings as much, mostly because you really want the ending more than anything else in that game. In my case (not everyone's), in a dating sim, the beginning up through near the end of the game is ...

Re: ARTIST FOR FREE I can do characters, BG, colors...

I could use some help with backgrounds! My story primarily takes place on a plane that looks like Mars, but also has classroom elements, cities, ruined cities, and other locales. If you're interested, let me know. I can send you a link to a demo copy of my game so you can see what you'll be dealing ...

Re: Auto-Advancing Text

Oh. I thought it was in reference to the hard pause.

My problem with the hard pause is that I don't actually want the game to pause for seven seconds, I just want to disable clicking for seven seconds, while the text continues to run.

The NW tag worked like a charm, thank you, but I didn't see what you were pointing at in the page link.
