How to Make a Game with Texting?

#1 Post by dIgItayel » Tue Dec 26, 2017 12:31 am

I want part of my game to include messaging with the NPCs, texting style. If you want an example, you could look at the chatroom functions on Mystic Messenger. How could I emulate this on Ren'py?

Hey. I'm no expert or anything but maybe the 'NVL mode' might help you out? https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/tutorials/NVL-Mode
It makes dialogue appear below each other. So I can imagine if you tweak the appearance, add a side image to emulate those character profile pics, it almost resembles 'Texting' just like in Mystic messenger.

But maybe this thread will be useful as well: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=40245&p=427567#p427567
