what about adding sound, like a typewriter, to dialog? I see it so much but CAN'T find a simple tutorial! I'm new to this... Halp?

you're awesome man omg!! idk what id do without your tutorials :,)

I got a question regarding drag function. Can I use it to allow the user to only move the object in one axis? Let's say its x axis. I intended to use it for a minigame where you simply move an object in fixed time interval.

Do you need to have image editor or can it be done with vanilla renpy? Thank you

The early hook thing is generally good, but exceptions are genre-subversion titles, like Doki Doki, where the "hook" takes like an hour to appear, I believe, or Madoka (though it's not a VN), where the "hook" fully appears first in episode 3. Regarding Rance: Didn't it have a normal control scheme? I don't remember. It's still a hugely successful visual novel, so well yeah.

I have a question, more than an idea(🤣): let’s say we are making a gardening scene and we want our players to move their hands + pick a vase with topsoil in it + drag it around a tree (and, the moment they pick it, the image of the vertical vase changes to a horizontal one with topsoil falling to the ground + they can only drag it following a pre-established perfect circular shape. How do we do all of that?

GL and Yuri are like comparing Ero and P*rn, first is centered around an idea, and the other - around n*dity. Same goes for BL and Yaoi.

in 1.14 how can I change the menu's fonts like this (about, start, load, etc and also the text on the top left of the screen) I was trying to figure it but couldn't find how to change the text on the top left of the screen

The fact that I was already doing this shocked me, but also caused me to start over my VN because of how unengaging the choices and consequences were. I currently working on scripting my VN so this mistake doesn't happen again. By the way, your content is engaging and really helpful. I'm glad I found this channel since it has made me think differently about choices and consequences in VN's. Thank you so much for making this video!

now we just need to learn the codes to do all of this😂😂💓

thank you so much for all of your videos, truly!! I appreciate you so much😭😭💓

thank you so much for sharing!! <3

I'm making a new VN and I've been having a hard time researching out to the press. Is there any lists for press that cover VNs or anything like that?

When I first saw the thumbnail I got confused and thought it was advertising a Kickstarter for a VN about math teachers or a math club or something and I both got really excited and was like "wait what how would that work" (Gonna watch the VoD eventually but I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment)

Also, as far as the numbers are concerned, they are more suitable for a hobby project. I would have liked to see examples of a more professional project in the small to medium size range, so that you can compare them to the VNs currently on the market.

Thank you for all that information in this and the previous videos! Now i was wondering, how you should decide, which kind of plattforms you should use for crowdfounding? How will people take it, when you do crowdfoundings at 2-3 different plattforms? There might be some "taste" to it?

thanks for the tutorial! very useful and helpful and easy to understand - but it's so difficult to pay attention when i keep getting distracted by how goddamn handsome u are 😂

Very often, it also demonstrates a lack of understanding of the medium or genre theyre disparaging.

Keep it up man nice videos. I think my view to Ren'py as a game engine changed a lot and it seems more practical and rewarding for me to start "coding" with . I hope I can progress further into the fundementals and furthermore make something visually appealing. So I will be watching your tutorials a lot from now on and am thanking beforehand ❤

Atom is dead Visual Studio Code is King

i have a problem all my vn whit a rollback option auto rollback how can stop it?

Hi Vimi! I got the phone working and showing up just fine. However, I am having the same trouble that some of the others here have had. I have defined all my characters (both normal and NVL), but no matter what I do to the code, it doesn't recognize the MC as a sender. I get the received frame and alignment (the icons work fine). I even copy/pasted the original PhoneTexting.rpy file into my game as is just to test it, and it still doesn't recognize the MC as the sender (I realize the syntax should cause an error, but mysteriously it doesn't). Other than the color and alignment of the main character's frame, the phone works great in my VN. Any suggestions?

Hold on a sec: 1. “Don’t bury the lead” and 2. “Build your atmosphere” This does seem like good advice, Yet DDLC seemingly breaks both of these rules. I mean It does build up an atmosphere for pretty much most of the playthrough, yet it isn’t for like a solid 30ish minutes before anything actually happens, and even then, all cards still aren’t on the table. Can anyone explain how and why this exactly works?

Your tutorial is very good but there is something that I couldn't understand. For the wavy bouncy text, when I enter the things that you said it always give error. So can someone make this quote wavy please. I'm searching for the ways for hours and I need help. QUOTE: OnDO-SEnsEI, pWEAse tEll uS hOW dId YoU gET tHAt bRAt!

casually stealing this info and throwing it at my twine project instead of an actual visual novel

Thank you for the info and lore 🙏

I think one of the most important things to consider when promoting a visual novel is human relations. How much we can empathize with other characters outside of the story is very important.

Can you please make an updated version of drag and drop?

CDs? Who even has a CD-drive these days..? Seems better to just do paper and QR codes.

Thanks a lot, buddy. Your videos are fantastic and I'm happy every time I see content from you :)

Thank you, this was informative!

If I were to publish a visual novel, would I have to remove the action editor files before I release it?

Super interesting stuff! Thanks!

Thanks for making these videos, very helpful

define emojis = [(renpy.TEXT_TAG, "image=mod_assets/emoji/oczy.png")]

Holy cow. I'm mainly familiar with the Furry VN scene, where big mechanics like walking or even simple stuff like moving the textbox from the bottom center of the screen are just absent. A lot of those things seem very daunting to implement.

Hi awesome tutorial! 👍 I'm not very practical but I would like to know how I can do it if, for example, my project is 1280x720 and I would like to proportion the phone to more suitable measurements👍🙏😅

As if all of that didn't look hard enough, Live2D doesn't even turn the head for you?! You have to manually squash all of the individual pieces to simulate the head turning?! That's a lot of work!

Good interview, learnt some stuff. I wish the volume was higher, but tech difficulties happen. I missed this interview but hopefully I can attend a future one.

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm wondering how can I have multiple "phones" like this with separate conversations and backgrounds.. any idea where to start?

closed captions to the rescue. this is a great series, thanks!

I love this! Can't wait for more 😮 also perfect timing as I just planned out when I'll be making my game and want to launch it so this information helps a lot already preparing for the marketing later on

In my RPG (which is being made in game maker) there’s a huge elements/effects system I’ve implemented. For starters, you have your basic element stuff which does what you expect them to do. Using spells can guarantee effects based on the element of its user. Then you have the weirder side of it which is the hardcode functions. If I want a certain enemy to have a constant damage multiplier against everyone, then they will get this hardcode functionality, which ignores all element checks. Then I check for if both the enemy and attacker are elemental, if the attacker is and the enemy isn’t, if the enemy is and the attacker isn’t, or if both aren’t elemental. That check gets run 4 separate times, each changing the damage value by a percentage. For case 1, (both elemental) damage is reduced by 5%, for case 2, damage is increased by 5%, for case 3, damage is reduced by 5%, and for the final case there is no change. This check gets run on the base elements of the attacker and the enemy, then on the weapon’s element and the enemy, then on the weapons element and the enemy’s armor. Also weapons with elements can stack onto effects during spells so if you have say fire on an electric elemental, you do “charge” as the effect. All of this is to say I put a lot of thought into my elements system because the whole premise of the game is elements. Everything gets taken into account. (Also magic defense will decrease damage taken significantly more than basic armor points. 1 magic point is 0.3 reduction and 1 armor point is 0.142856… reduction.)

I loved the video, it helped me a lot to comprehend live2d and renpy, the animations are life changing in my game. but...i have a question and I don't know if i am making some mistake. when I start the game, everything works fine, the animation (let's say a sad face) runs fine, but then it returns to the model default that have a little smile and the arm to far away from the sad pose. In the video the punk girl jut does the pose, don't return to the default model so I wanted to know how to fix this. I am a beginner so I'm really lost and i have tried almost everything, I would appreciate the help.

this is so helpful! i'm mainly a comic artist but i've been looking into possibly doing a kickstarter soon 👀 also idk if it is possible but it would have been cool to see the live chat replay as well

I’m new to game making and still learning Godot. But man being that GDScript is very similar to python I can now understand how to implement those things. Thank you so much!
