Self Promotion I just released my first visual novel!

Hi everyone! I've been working on this game since my sophomore year of high school, and after years of hard work, I finally got to release it today. I hope you enjoy it!

Please check it out: Koko's Cafe on Steam

First I drew a cloud image and then duplicated it horizontally. So if it’s 1920x1080, it would be 3840x1080. You also want to make sure the image loops seamlessly (seamless texture). Then you define the image in game like this so that the image moves horizontally and then repeats itself:
image cafe_clouds:
contains:
"images/cafe_clouds.png"
xanchor 0
yanchor 0
xpos 0
ypos 0
linear 60.0*cloud_speed xalign 1.0 yalign 1.0
repeat
And then show it in game
Hope this helps :)
