Re: Fonts and Main Menu Music.

If you look in options.rpy you want to add/change these settings:

Code: Select all

style.mm_button_text.font = "font_file_name.ttf"

config.main_menu_music = "main_menu_theme.ogg"
Be sure you remove the comment tag "#" first.

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

Uniforms are also pretty common in private/Catholic schools in the US. But since the majority of people go to public schools, someone at a private school would have to be: - Rich enough to afford it. (Alternatively, a moderately wealthy family that sacrifices a bit to afford it.) - Smart enough to ...

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

I was a little confused that the characters were in uniforms, in what looked like a Japanese classroom, yet they had English names. I'm not sure I looked at that particular demo, but an awful lot of the classrooms in Japanese games look like generic classrooms to me. They could be from any number o...

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

Thanks for all the input. I think I came out of this with more pride in my own style than trying to be more anime/manga. I will probably shoot for a balance in the end. The same goes for the story/setting.

I used to only draw super-heroes from American comics. I eventually started to find my own style though. At least I think so.

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

It all goes to design solution. What kind of game do you want to make? How do you want people to perceive it as? What element you want people to enjoy the most from your game? As with Deji said, if you want to make sex-focused game, setting and plot will be secondary or nothing much important^^ I d...

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

@ Deji: I don't disagree with you. It makes sense, but if you're going to do your own regional setting etc, then why draw in the anime/manga style? You should do your own style, no?

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

A good point indeed. Not only that, but I have to choose a style. If you look at my little gallery you'll see I have 2 styles of sorts. The more "gerneric" style: http://nio.gogoangels.com/gallery/angels1_i.jpg and an obviously anime influenced style: http://nio.gogoangels.com/gallery/girl...

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

I'm not one that reads fan-fics. I like the original content, not someone's twisted take on it. That goes back to the purist thing. I actually started this thread after trying out Mikan's demo. I was a little confused that the characters were in uniforms, in what looked like a Japanese classroom, ye...

Re: To Japan or Not, that is the question.

Wow, quick replies. It still seems a little odd that we are then going half-way. Using the general style of gameplay and art but in our own western setting. I'm a purist so that's hard for me to wrap my head around. It is the cute school girls in their sailor uniforms that pulled my attention to ani...

To Japan or Not, that is the question.

So as I'm starting to pool together ideas for my H VN I began thinking about character names and setting and it got me thinking. Should I Japan or not? Personally my influences for these games come from the Japanese Date Sims. As a fan of this work it's only natural to want to imitate it. However, I...

Re: Customizing the text box and other features?

Just a quick question... Right now I have a custom mouse cursor with this bit of code. config.mouse = { } config.mouse['default'] = [ ("arrow.png", 5, 39) ] I noticed the ['default'] and was thinking if there were other states. The one I'm interested in is ctc so I could have the mouse cur...

Re: Trying again... New Ren'Py - Old code

Apparently the pref was not working due to this: config.image_buttons["Seen Messages"] = ( "menu/load_game_off.png", "menu/load_game.png", "menu/load_game_off.png", "menu/load_game.png", "menu/load_game_off.png") I delete that and it works ...
