How can I make the screen be vertical like that and work?

[Nanahs]

I want to make my game be in a vertical screen for Android.
But when I chose to put it like that the menu text got too small.
Something like that:


How can I make the menu text get bigger and in the center like that?


Also, which resolution would be best to a vertical game?

Thanks xx

Ren'Py is optimised for a 16:9 resolution. What you want is possible, but takes a large amount of customising and reworking. You'll require basic to intermediate knowledge of Ren'Py screen language. The documentation is a great (if at first, daunting) resource to get you started.

Personally, I prefer to go with 720x1280, but any 9:16 resolution should work up to 1080x1920


Start by editing the mobile variants section, found in screens.rpy at the bottom.
I suggest deleting it entirely, it will make things easier.

Next, you'll need to adjust the navigation and main menu screens and possibly also need to adjust some vaules in gui.rpy
shift + i is useful for determining what style is applied to what part of a screen or text.
