Re: How to make it so people can't see/alter the script.ryp?

:lol: I'll do just that. I thought you didn't want people to know about it with your size 1 text link in your signature (Where I found the link by the way).

Re: How to make it so people can't see/alter the script.ryp?

:o I see. Thanks for the info Aleema, it's basic Ren'py 101 stuff that makes me feel incompetent.

P.S. Love your tutorial on creating custom dialog boxes and ctc mini images, it was really helpful.

Re: Original Visual Novel Festival

Yeah~ this will be a nice motivation to get my rear cranking with the arts and programing.
The VN itself cannot be longer than 1 hour in playtime.
That's like 20,000 words in a kinetic novel right?

How to make it so people can't see/alter the script.ryp?

I've downloaded a lot of demo games and notice that their games can be altered through ren'py. Is there something we all missed? How do you make it so people can't see the files or edit the story script through ren'py? I did step 1, and step 2. But I can still see the script.ryp files. 1. set config...

Re: Could someone tell me how to add comands into commas?

Thanks for the replies, both responses are great!

@Aleema - almost forgot about replace all function, thanks for reminding me.

@PyTom - I'll give it a shot at configuring it.

How to add comand fuction into commas? (Solved)

I use the {w=.2} command in dialogs a lot after commas to control the flow of the dialogs.

Is there any way I can declare it under init in the beginning, so after every "," in dialogs it will automatically do a {w=.2} after each comma? Or should I stick with copy and pasting {w=.2}?

Re: Second hand material and game experience

I can't really say yes or no for sure, because some VN turned out really great using second hand images, those are the story driven and program driven types. The way I see it there are three types of VN out there. ~Story driven - ones with a soild storyline that can evoke strong feelings. ~Art drive...

Re: Some useful/interesting links

Bookmarked a lot of these (love the emotion one), thanks Deji. Although hard to find good ones, I try to find youtube videos tutorial for GIMP/Photoshop. That way I can pause, play, and minimize them in background as I try and replicate what they did step by step. One way to alter normal BG scene to...

Re: What style should I use?

I have to agree with YonYonYon, all four faces look similar enough that it can be seen as the same character. It seems you like unshaded eyes in #3 and #4, so go ahead and choose that, it will probably make coloring easier anyways. I do see that #1 "huh..." expression, #3 have the "oh...

Re: (for my next game) what would be a minimum wage salary?

As of Jul 24, 2009 - Minimum wage rate is $7.25 for adults. If you are under 20 you boss can pay you $4.25 an hour during the first 90 consecutive...

Re: Red Snow {Open Development}

It's great to see the character arts (very pretty like your other works) coming together in one VN. I haven't read the flow chart or spoilers on purpose, so I can be surprised. I hope you have fun during the process of making it! I'll be cheering you on.

Re: Happy to hear your comments for my work

He probably means .png file, a lot ren'py games images use that format. Here read this on different image files types. And this on .png vs .jpg I hope these links help, .jpg does compress files better so you'll see them often for people who needs to reduce file size. But repeated use does keep degra...

Re: Post your workspace / room

Yeah I spoiled myself in that aspect being a computer game nerd :lol:.

Now that I play less game, I think I'd swap my room with Auro-Cyanide, her room seems more zen-like to get the creative juice flowing.
