Yay! Care to give the ISBN number?

Now, if I could win the hearts of at least 300 people, then that's when I consider my game an ultimate success. (Btw 300 is the average number of torrent downloads for the most obscure fansubs you'll see).

1-595328-08-X

(Gotta love that the ISBN algorithm requires a base 11 checksum--- hence the X.)

It would seem likely that any game would reach 300 downloads after a short time. The games on download.com all have thousands of downloads.

Gasp, does this mark the rise of Ren'py like Onscripter?

I am so going to try and get my hand on this book.

I tried to order it on amazon, but it was very expensive

I figured it's more fun to play along, at least for a while. There are no plans for a Ren'Py book as of yet, and to be honest I'd need a hell of a ghostwriter to pull one off.

The ISBN is from Mahoromatic Volume 8, which I had lying around near my computer... with the checksum digit changed from 4 to X.

My evil knows tightly constrained bounds.

Some people here didn't watch GTO. lol

But it had me fooled for awhile.

There is actually a Dummies book generator.

I made a few bogus book for products we sell at work and everyone got a laugh.

What I really want is the O'Reilly book generator. The website hosting it was shutdown. You can pick various pictures of animals and such. We can have "Ren'Py in a Nutshell", "Learning Ren'Py", and "Advanced Visual Novel Programming".

Hurry up and use it before the Dummies lawyers shut it down!

I could pretend I was just acting like I believed it - but I really did

Whoops @_@
