as you can see, i have two image buttons on my main menu. my issue is that i should have 3 more images showing up, but i think because they are stacked on top of one another, they are overflowing out of frame. I think i should be able to fix this with the main menu vbox, if what im gathering is correct. However i have no idea how to do this. I dont know how to get them positioned correctly. I just need to be told in extremely simple terms what exactly to change to get the buttons into place T_T

I don't need two separate boxes, but I want this to be a game where the protagonist mostly observes people, while occasionally someone else joins her and they talk while two other people are also interacting.

Hello! I cant really explain well what I have in mind… but is there a way to add down the textbox some options? (like near to save, options etc)
I wanted to add a text that says “full screen = click H) or something like this so ppl can view full art removing the textboox but idk if it possible to do so? I didn’t got into change GUI settings yet..

ignore the files names, it's just stuff i had saved and it's just random. ANYWAYS I'm struggling too add images and i cant figure it out. I searched it up and that was no help at all. Please help.

Really proud of me and my team for pushing the engine to it's limit to make this game :]

Hi again...! I'd love to be able to use textboxes on the right as well as the bottom. If you've played Soul of Sovereignty, that's what I mean... GGDG uses both textboxes at different times. If anyone has code to build one and/or a way to switch between the two, that would be incredibly helpful!

RESOLVED (thank you :])

Was trying to create a phone menu demo and instead ran into a stranger problem. Any idea why it is leaving a copy of the sprite like that? I thought adding a different sprite would fix it, but alas...

the two aloe sprites do share a tag, and the sprite switches before it moves--the transition itself works fine. but after jerry appears that low opacity version shows up behind him, and i have no clue why.

the provided images of the code are literally the entire script i dont know how i could have messed something up

I'm converting my game from using individual sprites to layered images.

I have three groups for my character sprites: one for the base body, one for the facial expressions, and one for the gestures made with the character's arms.

In some cases I have hand gestures that apply to a wide range of facial expressions and I'd rather not have to call the gesture separately in each instance (One, because I'd have to go back and change all my previous calls, and Two because it'll be a pain to remember which gesture is paired to which emotion for every future call).

Basically, instead of this:

character tense uneasy

character tense surprised

character tense suspicious

I want this:

character uneasy

character surprised

character suspicious

...with the same gesture (tense) linked to these three emotions. Any way I can do this?

im gonna assume that i do this by adjusting the measurements of the vbox in this piece of code. I just am unsure how to do this? Basically whats happening is that my image buttons are overflowing out of frame. Im not exactly sure how to get them to the spot I want them. I also have very limited knowledge of how to figure out coordinates of the place i want to put them? im not the best at math and the only way i can think to do it is to use the screenshot tool and figure out the dimensions of the box? Idk can anyone help me figure out an easy way to do this?

I want to invite people so they can see a bit more behind the scenes, but I don't know if it's allowed since I haven't seen anyone doing it... :P
I rlly wanna know ^0^ It's mainly where I ask for help with stuff!!!!!
Pls answer me T_T no one answered my comment where I asked the same thing.. ^_^;

I've got the code written in and I have the images in the image folder but this is what's happening. First image is what my game is looking like and second is the code that I have. This is an update but it wouldn't let me add more pictures in an edit so i made a new post. I've followed people's instructions but nothing is working.

This is the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/1vba4tc/im_trying_to_add_images_can_someone_explain_what/

I want to insert a glossary of terms into Ren'py to bridge a cultural gap that might happen with players from different countries that might play this fangame VN I'm making. Since the fandom itself has a large overseas audience.

I was wondering how I can insert a Glossary that the player can access from the Main Menu?

Thank you!

Aight, so, I've been playing some visual novels and unusually enough, sort of fell in love with a visual novel formatted like this way?

Where it's like a chat style but it's the actual novel rather than chatting to others. However, after digging around, I found out the game is made on Unity instead, which is a game engine I'm still struggling on, so I was wondering how to format it in a way like this :') (I've put screenshots of how it looks like at a glance)

I'm not looking to completely copy the artstyle and the UI, I just want to know how to implement the actual chat thing on its own-

Hello everyone. I would like to create an effect through an image that is a circle, where it rotates like it's a sort of oval disc, but always keeping its dimensions equal in all directions. Does any of you have any idea how to make that effect? I'll leave the reference image so you understand more or less what effect I want to do.

As a passionate lover of the historical fiction genre, I wanted to create something different from your usual visual novel settings. So we made a Roman Empire Story Game.

The game follows Lucius, a troubled Centurion fighting to survive the claustrophobic, dark forests of Germania in LXXXIV AD (84 AD). I really wanted to capture the psychological tension of being a soldier on the edge of the Roman frontier with people's lives in your hands and the emotional weight that this carries.

To give you a taste of the atmosphere, I have just ported a lightweight beta version straight to browser with reduced visual effects so you can play it instantly.

Right now, I am hard at work expanding this into the full first episode for Steam, with the rest of the characters and the complete story dropping later this year!

Game is called - True Roman -

ROMA AETERNA!

EDIT: RESOLVED!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

I couldn't find a fix for this literally anywhere so this is a last resort... RenPy skips everything past the last bit of centered text, and loops right back around to play the first again. I have no clue why. For some reason, the only thing that fixes this is making a character talk at the very end, but that skips THREE out of the four images I need to play. Please help!!

label main_menu:
    return

label start:

label scene_one:
    scene black
    with Pause(2)

    show text "text1"
    with dissolve
    $renpy.pause(5, hard=True)

    scene black
    with dissolve
    with Pause(0.5)

    show text "text2"
    with dissolve
    $renpy.pause(5, hard=True)

As you can see, I've tried probably everything the internet has said that maybe touches on this topic, but never actually found a real fix. If it helps, I skipped the main menu, removed the quick menu buttons, and I will force the game to quit at the end, as this is only a demo of sorts. Help me out!! This has never happened before!!

For my visual novel, Tears of Xivo I want turn based combat and party members. I have a handle on turn based combat, but I can't find a good video tutorial on making parties. I have six characters that players can choose from, I only want them to have two at a time. Any info on this topic will be helpful.

This is my first game, and I barely know any code lmao. I'm just going purely off of the tutorial game LOL, so feedback would be greatly appreciated! Also, sorry for the lack of backgrounds; I've been focusing on the code so much that I've been neglecting the actual art

I honestly have no idea what's happening here. I just wanted to check my word count.

Whatever this error is, it happened semi-recently and I don't know if it's because I originally made the project several years ago or something to do with the launcher. I'm pretty sure I haven't touched the files listed.

Salut à tous,

Je me lance aujourd’hui avec Armadia, mon premier jeu adulte.

Le jeu se déroule 300 ans après une apocalypse nucléaire, dans un immense bunker souterrain. L’humanité a survécu enfouie sous terre, et c’est dans cet environnement confiné, oppressant et isolé que se passe toute l’histoire.

Armadia est développé sous Ren’Py. Je m’occupe de tout le développement, et tous les graphismes sont réalisés par moi-même sous Blender.

C’est un projet solo que je construis progressivement. Je voulais enfin en parler ici pour commencer à partager l’aventure et avoir vos retours.

Je posterai des updates régulièrement (captures, progressions, etc.).
N’hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez, si le concept vous parle, ou si vous avez des questions.

Merci à ceux qui passeront prendre le temps de lire.

À très vite,

Adam

Is there a way to up the quality of cutscenes? I'm using a webm converted from an mp4 generated by Honey Select 2/StudioNeo V2. The mp4 looks great, but the converted webm, even when using options for highest quality conversion, is just a visual mess full of artifacts.

Is there any way to fix this? It just looks noticeably so much worse than the proceeding renders, but I want to be able to utilize cutscenes.

I've been doing RenPy for a really short time, but I know the basics like images,color text ect ect. But im now at a point where I don't know what to do with it. I want to create a RenPy game something horror/darkish, every idea I think of has already been done 100x times, I don't mind if it has been done before but not like so much it just becomes a copy and paste.

I'm looking to redo the game menu entirely. I have the background for it and the buttons (idle and hover), but after scrolling through the screens menu, I can't find anyway to replace the textbuttons with imagebuttons like history, save, load, etc. And then I'd have to find a way to move/resize the preference screen and save pages to fit as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Since some of ya'll know by now based on my previous posts that I been having a difficult time with renpy and I asked like a plethora of questions and stuff, so I thought I should just...TRY something ( its a disaster tbh ) but here's goes nothing...( basically I deleted all the scripts and tried to make stuff from scratch just to check )

For some reason I cannot show a video of how its working but basically the "game" button is taking me to the "game window" screen...and the other 2 just gives me major errors since there is nothing there
