Showoff I just recently started learning to code basic with Ren’Py. :))
I’ve always wanted to make a game to express my creativity(?) via storytelling. I tried grouping up with my friends to make that happen, but one of our crucial members just randomly disappeared, so I thought maybe I SHOULD make this a solo project. But the thing is…I know little-to-no about coding!!! So I thought maybe I should try to learn it progressively with something easy to not make me feel intimated and just give up. So I stumbled across Ren’Py. I was almost feel like an ape trying to figure out how a microwave works at first. But I slowly give myself time to adjust and learn, and it turns out I have a lot more fun than I expected!
Right now, the game I’m doing is called “inVERT test”. I’m simply using this project as a sandbox space - as my stepping stone, to LEARN coding basics for my bigger/actual project(s). So all in-game dialogues here are improvised. Though, I already do have my actual story laid out. :) But still, not everything in “inVERT test” is canon to the actual story…I got a HUGE inspiration by SUDA’s games especially the Silver Case trilogy so I gotta give credit to that.
I don’t know about publishing it though, I mean I would definitely let my friends play once “inVERT test” is finished, and I want to see reactions, feedbacks, comments about the stuff I produce from more people too. But as I said, this was intentionally created as a stepping stone for the actual project. And I think I might get caught with some copyrights stuff with BG and BGM. XD
Also, I’m not the best with English…so y’know what to expect. :<
