Cool text effects

#1 Post by Kinmoku »

Hi all. Is Ren'Py capable of more advanced text effects? I'd like to do a bit more than just size, bold and italic.

I've been playing a few narrative games recently where the text will jiggle, shake, expand, drop in etc. They can be cheesy if overused (just like in Powerpoint) but I think they can be effective when used correctly.

Someone suggested I could create the effect using images or movies, but that seems like a lot of work for how often I'd like to use it. Can ATL also work on text within a string?
