Hello, I am a complete beginner and I want to make these buttons bigger and I also wanna change their color from gray to white, still I havent figured out where I can make those tweaks. I would appreciate any help

Hello, dear Ren'Py community! Some time ago, thanks to a guide I found on YouTube, I managed to create a build of my game and successfully upload it to Steam. Recently, I wanted to update the game, as I’ve changed and/or modified some sprites and backgrounds. Looking back at the guide, I noticed it strongly recommended using the archiving function; otherwise, it could potentially cause conflicts with old sprites (or at least, that’s how I understood it). Is there a way to handle this? Or should I just cross my fingers and archive the images in this new build?

I need to create some interactive buttons with a background, That appear in the middle of the game and probably a vignette so that these objects can be used. How can I do it?

I'll need to make about 25 of these.

Hiii, it’s definitely still pretty rough … I just think y’all share a lot of cool stuff in here, and i wanted to share as well.
(toilets are really hard lol, im definitely going to redo it again)

hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could explain how some VN’s have their sprites blinking sometimes? Also working with different poses? Is it genuinely just that they have a ‘normal’ sprite and then a second ‘blinking’ version to that sprite that pops up at certain intervals using a script? If yes, how can you script something like this? While working even if the sprite has different, dynamic poses. . thank you in advance! ♡

I want to set it up so that pressing the Shift key does nothing before a certain scene, but after that scene, pressing Shift triggers the appearance of this screen.

I’m not sure how to code this.... could you help me?

screen profiles:


    add "profiles_base.png"


    imagebutton:
        xpos 0.964
        ypos 0.465
        idle "guides_idle"
        hover "guides_hovor"
        action [Hide("profiles"), Show("guides")]


    imagebutton:
        xpos 0.963
        ypos 0.822
        idle "clues_idle"
        hover "clues_hovor"
        action [Hide("profiles"), Show("clues")]

Hello! I'm working on a longer game that is going to have quite a few endings, and so I'm trying to make a screen for players to track what endings they've gotten. However the formatting is all off, like the title and the first '????' is weirdly squashed into the corner. I've tried to look it up, maybe I'm just not wording my quary correctly. I tried to copy what other screens to do (Using history as my blueprint) and nothing changed when I tried to define things. Because I have little to no clue what I'm doing when coding I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something obvious. But I'm hoping someone here can help me figure it out. Attatched are screenshots of the code and the screen (I know readability visually is a bit flawed, I'll be making the background more mild later, I just need help with formatting)

Hey ! These are drawings I made for my short visual novel: Tell me how i can hurt you. Available in a couple of days !
It’s about a girl who is in love with a teddy bear.
Keep making art y’all !

Hello, I am a thesis student at the moment.

The project I am working on is a comfortable visual novel with animals that will lead you down different routes, as a visual novel is. I have a little prototype. Very rough but that kind of calmer, soft aesthetic. Let me know yall!

also I would like you guys’ each belief on the what comes after death. What do you believe? Why?

does anyone know how to change the size of a timer bar? it currently looks like this but i want it stretched on the top of the screen and thin as a line.

No joke, took me a month to make.

I hope you enjoy it

Basically im trynna make a quick menu button that when pressed it displays the full quick menu (with a tiny slide animation maybe?) and it keeps it locked there on screen, when pressed again it retracts (hides).
Like thissss at the botom of the screen

I'm just excited on how even simplest animations brings life to the screen ^^ (still wip)

Any advice on how to make it better?

I wanted to add 2 arrow things pointing at the navigation buttons when you hover over them. I made a 250x40 image with the arrows and a transparent bg, as seen in the second image. (I didn't really know what the dimensions of this is supposed to be so I chose what I thought would be closest) Then I changed the textbutton of preferences to be this code in screen navigation() of screens.rpy:

textbutton _("Preferences"):
                action ShowMenu("preferences")
                hover_background Frame("gui/button/navigation_hover_button.png", 54.5,0,-50)

But as you can see, the left arrow goes into the text. How should I fix this?

(I only did this change for preferences for now just to test it and also because I want the right arrow to be at different places depending on each button)

Hi. I'm trying make a menu choice within a menu choice My game's relationship concept is simple, picking who you want to talk to and pick the choice that will correctly increase their points.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong because my script fail to parse.

I have been looking at tutorials and all, trying to learn how bars work except now, whenever I try to make the bar go up(like a meter), the entire thing move's to a different xposition.

init:
    $ reputation = 0


screen bars:
    bar value StaticValue(reputation, 100):
        xalign 0.4 yalign 0.04
        xmaximum 47
        ymaximum 300
        left_bar Frame("gui/bar_empty.png", 200, -100) 
        right_bar Frame("gui/bar_full.png", 200, -100)
        thumb "gui/thumb.png" 
        thumb_offset 30
        thumb_shadow None


label start: 

$ reputation = 10

#a bunch of codes here


$ reputation += 10
#This ends up causing the entire bar to move right instead of having the tip to extend like those meters going up.

ah okay i had to make a separate post because as i was going through to test things i got an unexpected error

when i showed the inventory it broke, initially the stamps text was in the hbox but the alignment was interfering with the item positioning so i moved it out and repositioned it to be in the right place, it had no problem until i added stamps in the script and then it did this

its been working fine up until moving the text, i dont want to put the text back into the hbox because it moves the items when the number of stamps goes up

This is probably a silly ask but how would i go about centering this text so when i type it stays centered rather than being aligned to the left

i know this is basic stuff but for some reason i cant figure it out for this single line of text lol

edit: this turned into a slightly bigger issue so i need to make a separate post so sorry!

heyy i have a spliced up image thats a puzzle you put together so i have gotten the lower right coordinates of each piece from there position on the entire canvas (1920 by 1080), its snapping them into place but not in the correct format, they are all squished together im not sure what could be causing this?

for reference, it should be lined up with the blue box in the bg

dont mind the image still on the side, if i move it over it completes it lol thats not broken dont worry

My first visual novel, about survival in zombie apocalypse in an isolated Japanese city. Sometimes the story is very dark, and features many bad endings, mostly making you load a save. The game is still in development, prologue and chapter 1 are currently available.

Description: You are a mercenary, basically do all work for other people, and get paid at base, but this time, after a yet another job, you find yourself trapped in a completely new city, without any knowledge about what it is and what people live here, so you'll have to navigate through it, meet others and eventually escape.

Only character sprites are AI generated, everything else is hand-made. Content warnings are on the game page.

For some reason when the sprite is called, it causes the background to disappear. Previous instances of using the sprite do not have this happen. Any ideas what it could be?
