Lemma Soft Forums

i am making my first game on a renpy engine, i thought itd be simple, kind of, and some things confuse me
i can draw and write, but some of the more complex coding (complex for me, at least) has me a bit confused

my game is labeled as "cafe" or "creme cafe" but i may change it in the future

if you arent sure about my drawing or writing skills, im happy to provide a portfolio

im looking for someone to help me code or help teach me, ive spent days reading tutorial after tutorial, and im not really understanding things such as "customising the textbox" or "customising main and game menu"

the plot of my game is basically:
you are either a female or male player. one day you notice a strange little cafe on your way home from school.
you step in to take a peak when suddenly a girl in cat-maid cosplay tackles you, addressing you as "master". you are passive aggressively obliged to order from her. when she leaves to get your order, you notice a bunny-maid in the corner. when you go up to her, something unexpected happens. how on earth do you go back to the cafe after that?

these are not part of my game, they are just drawings (actually, theyre character bios from my manga and random sketches ive done) thatll work as a makeshift portfolio, i suppose:

most of those are scans or arent coloured yet or arent finished being coloured
and sorry they wouldnt embed and i dont feel like altering the sizes of them

if you need me to, im also happy to give you part of the actual script

I'd be happy to help.
Also, have you looked at the Ren'Py Handbook by chocoberrie? (She's on Lemmasoft, I encourage you to look her up)

could you link me? im so new to this site ^.^

It's being written for newbies like us by a super nice lady. OuOb

thanks soo much
yo, how would we co-code?
are there programmes to where we can see each other's screens or send the renpy files to each other?
should i *cracks knuckles* break out the old dusty email? :3

er... i dont exactly have money (or even a paypal) to actually HIRE someone.. yet

We could send files back and forth on Skype or through PMs, you could also send me bits that you don't understand through PMs.
90% of what I'm here for is to teach you what I can and code for you what I can't teach you.
the remaining 10% is just because I'm bored and would like to practice coding while I wait to learn how to finish my game interface. XD

I'm here 100% free. When you're starting out, I think it's good to have a buddy to help! OuOb

*tears up* youre gonna be my coding teacher/buddy OwO
my skype name is jasper beauclair ... jazz3713 ... idk how to add people xD

Sorry for the wait. Had to spend a day fending off people setting off explosives near my house all day (Not firewokrs :'I )
Skype request sent.
