I'm thinking of using a custom font that looks like alien letters for when James speaks it, but I'm not sure if Ren'Py is able to carry those fonts itself or if I'd have to somehow require everyone to download the font. I'm not too keen on using wingdings or keymash because well...it's wingdings and/or keymash.

Adding your own font is pretty easy~ You have to put the ttf/otf file in your game folder for Ren'Py to use it and then it'll be packaged with your game when you make distributions so everyone will be able to see it just fine.

Thanks! Sorry that a lot of my coding questions seem to be stuff covered in the cookbook. I dunno what it is, I'm really blonde and it's kinda hard for me to understand what's being said

Do you know if it's possible to change the colour of your text when you're inputting things? Because right now it looks like this: as you can see that yellow is...not good

Also, I'm looking all over the cookbook and FAQ, and I can't find a way to keep the text box showing when a character sprite fades in. I just find it rather jaunting when a character shows up.

If you;re not planning on using nvl then you can just use 'show window' at the beginning of the start label and it should work. If you do use nvl I think there was a thread about using ATL to create the fade.

Thank you!
Along those lines, is there any way I can make it so that clicking off the dialogue box would make it fade out so the player could see the whole screen? And then having it so clicking again would bring the text box back.

I'm not sure about clicking off the dialouge box(that might be annoying for some people as well), but you can use an action to hide the text screen. http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=13529&

Aand thank you again. Now that I think about it, you have a point about the clicking off being irritating.

First of all, it's actually "window show" not "show window". You can add a transition to it if you want to by doing "window show dissolve" or whatever, too. (the syntax is a bit different from your usual show statement) Regarding the input text, you'll be changing the style of it like this. What you want is probably something along the lines of:
With #ffffff being your chosen text color.

I vote for an ending with the cranky teacher. xD

Pppft!!
I suppose it's always a possibility, writings been slow and everything else in my life has bumped down the time I can put into this considerably, but if I can find a way to work it in in a later a version...

I am loving the art style.

This sounds like a cute concept, and I love the art, it's adorable.

I also want a cranky teacher ending! The cranky chars are always the best chars.

Aight, been sick this week so I've done some major overhauls to the design docs or whatever it's called when you change the basic format of the game

Good news is, though, it makes it much simpler to add in a cranky teacher ending!

I'm allocating every other wednesday to work on this, so speedy(er) production should resume now
