Best way to manage lots of pictures-only scenes

[DaFool]

Like the question asks, need 'professional' opinions on a meta scale.

A project I'm working on has more pictures than text, and I'm not sure if click-to-skip is the best option.

So far I've been inserting blank textboxes like

Code: Select all

    narrator "                                                                         "

which seems like a stupid idea, but the purpose is to temper clickthroughs so that the whole pause system doesn't take off like a locomotive without brakes.

Don't want to use movies since that will bloat the filesize.

Need suggestions, thanks.

I would have gone

Code: Select all

ui.pausebehavior(2.0)
ui.interact()

but it's not skippable ...

Try using renpy.pause() instead of with Pause. The pauses themselves are skippable, but the game will stop at every pause statement, instead of skipping through all the transitions.
