Allowing the player to choose from pre-set customized looks for the character

#1 Post by Jumatsuga » Wed May 26, 2021 6:38 pm

Hello! I am a beginner Ren'Py / Python coder, and I cannot find an answer to this question online, so I'm asking it here.

In my VN the main character is supposed be customizable, and is supposed to appear both as a sprite and in a scene where they kiss their date.

Is it possible create a code to allow the player of your VN to choose from pre-set customized looks ( male/female body, skin color, eye color etc.), and how would one do so?

Any advice or insight? Is it too complicated, or too ambitious for a noob?

As long as you understand how to code python + understand what class is, I think you should be fine. I found someone who has implemented a similar one:

Edit: Oh there's also a guide in Ren'Py Cookbook.viewtopic.php?f=51&t=30878#p360602
better search there for other guides :)
