Well here is the thing!
I'm writing an otome visual novel but I have a problem with all those codes and stuff! I can't remember where to write what and I seem to make a lot of mistakes. This way I can't really continue writing the dialogues and the story because it get's on my nerves that I can't make it and I'm getting depressed :P

If anyone would like to help me with the programming, for example.
I don't need someone to write who speaks when
but I definitely need someone who will write about the label start and the scenes, or the love points. And all this, you know how the choices you make will have differences in the story!

I want to make this a big project so I really need help with it! I'm eager to finish it, though I don't know how much time it might take!

It is an otome mystery (GxB) game, with at least 4 obtainable guys.
Well, the main character, a young girl suddenly woke up in a room, in some forgotten mansion, deep in the woods, to find in front of her four guys, and the only think she can remembers is her name, and somehow her age.
With some help from the guys she tries to find out more about herself, but instead she realizes that in front of her lies another mystery' who are these guys, where do they come from and why is she the ONLY girl in the house.
The thing is that the boys don't know the answers to these questions, or so they pretend to.

For more information about the story you can pm me
I have so much ideas for this project but... I really need help so please!!!!!

love points... heh, I remember struggling these with a long time ago. If you can't find people for that, all the info you need is in the renpy wiki and help documentation. oh and lint helps too since it can tell you which lines of the code don't work.

but here's a really simple love score mechanic:
label scene1:
$ name = 10 (you use the python statement to form a love point stat for the character)
"test"
$ name += 10 (give plusses or minuses at key points)
if name >= 20: (check the statement later, for starting the charas ending)
"forward!"
elif name >= 10: (or throwing you elsewhere...)
"meh"

I'm not the world's most flexible coder myself, which is why i'm not volunteering though.

Yeah I have read the renpy wiki and the faqs but still I am continuously doing everything (or almost everything) wrong :P
I think I've managed (somehow) to fix the love points but still I want to be sure :P

Thank you for your help though!!!! :D
Hehe well I'm not looking for the best programmer or something :P Just someone that at least knows better than me :p and would like to help that's all!
Since I can't pay or something!

The story sounds really interesting and promising XD

Well, if you already had the dialog, the scene and choice written out and only need a programmer to throw it together with Ren'py for you then I maybe able to offer you some of my help =w=)b

I've been playing around with Ren'py for a pretty long time already. Started so many project to get to know Ren'py but none of it ever finished.... ;u;

A-Anyway haha, winter break is coming and I found myself with nothing much to do. If you are okay with me, send me a pm about the detail of the story and we will work it out 8D

Ordinarily, I'd ask what you want exactly*, but there's a lot on my plate (and mind) right now. If you're not in any rush though, I might be able to help out.

*Layouts, displays, menus... more or less how things look.

Heh, Michiyo's location is almost identical to mine :P

@Squark: LOL... So we are at the same place eh? Are you beside me right now haha?

I really like your premise and thus in my opinion I suggest you to make an idea thread for me to easier keep track of what can I help you with ;D
