Lemma Soft Forums

Recettear, Chantelise, and Fortune Summoners (released on Steam) all have loli characters and they were decently well received by non-japanese audiences. It's really all about execution.

This is like Difficulty levels for VNs. Maybe you can do what they did in the Devil May Cry series. If you die more than X times, you unlock "Easy Mode".

Archiving any kind of software binary executable and expecting future generations to even be able to run it is probably not likely. Even if you could preserve the bits of your renpy game and future archaelogists are able to transfer it to their digital media, it is unlikely they'll be running any OS...

I've never tried NetBeans, but maybe? Diehard emacs user here.

I'll parrot what I read on slashdot yesterday, there is nothing wrong with the concept of Java, just the execution. If the JRE wasn't apparently full of security holes and platform inconsistencies there would be far fewer people having this debate. That said, I personally hate Java because I hate Ec...

Would a random band of internet strangers be able to meet school deadlines? Seems like a risky proposition for you.

The VN would have to be specifically targeted for the android platform using RAPT. Presumably the creator would post an .apk file that users can download and install on their android device. You typically cannot run normal renpy games on Android.

I believe the release notes for RAPT specifically mention that this does not work.

I think default resolution is 800 by 600, so if all your characters were less than 600 pixels tall then they should fit onto the screen fine.

Generally you select a resolution and scale all your art to fit that resolution beforehand. That is THE simplest way. Supporting multiple resolutions is quite a bit of work.

You can also resize images in-game with the im module or by using Transforms and ATL statements.

Like what was said above, most renpy projects are for hobby purposes only, so their budgets would be extremely light to begin with. You wouldn't take on a paid renpy project if you were actually trying to make a living off of it. However, if the project has solid plans to go commercial you can alway...

They seem to be different ways to do the same thing. imagebuttons might be faster to code up if you only have a few buttons though.

I am nitpicking. No sane employer would pay per line of code. Usually software contracts are negotiated on a per job basis estimated on a hourly pay rate and assumed completion time.

You need to add a Show action to the button when you create it. The alert part could probably be done by inserting some conditionals in the message UI that changed it's appearance depending on whether messages are present.

You can always go with the old school method as well. init: $ left2 = Position(xpos=0.2, xanchor='left') ... show imageX at left2 Thank you so much! This works, and it is what I meant. Thank you too, Biomass, for helping me. Now what is next is moving both pictures with a transition at the same tim...
