Hello! How Is Renpy? What Would The Lis Visual Novel Be About? (no Rush, Ofc!) ^^

hello! how is renpy? what would the lis visual novel be about? (no rush, ofc!) ^^

hey!! thank you for the question :) i haven't really been active on it at all recently - just school and everything got in the way. i did find out that i can use external text files in the code, so maybe with that i could figure out how to make save files! as for the visual novel, the app is still not installing properly on my computer </3 hopefully i'll figure it out soon, but i appreciate the question!! have a nice day ^^

Oooh!! You got to finally play love is strange!!! Did you enjoy it?? Thoughts on the routes???

i loved it!!! :) i really liked how they did the art particularly :D i also loved all the changes they made to the default GUI and the art in the journal... just as a sucker for chloe i loveddd the chloe route, but i also really enjoyed the kate one, it was super fun!! i still have yet to play the victoria and rachel route but i bet they'll be awesome too; which one did you like the best?

first or third person???????

hey guys!! im working on a game based on one of the ideas i posted earlier (i'll reveal more if i manage to finish the first chapter lol), but i was just wondering how i should format the narrative, since you'll be making choices as max - would first or third person look better?

example of first person:

You and Chloe have a sick dance break while the shopkeeper watches you in shock.

example of third person:

Max and Chloe have a sick dance break while the shopkeeper watches them in shock.

additionally, i was wondering about dialogue -- is it better just to keep it indirect like in the game i've posted previously, or just put direct quotes? indirect might make it seem kind of more detached, but for direct there's a risk that i would write chloe's dialogue in a way that doesn't really seem like something she would say (sorry for all the questions, it would just be super helpful to see what you guys think looks better!!!)

indirect example:

You decide to play the Gummy Bear song for the fiftieth time in the row. Chloe rolls her eyes, groaning about how stupid the song is.

direct example:

You decided to play the Gummy Bear song for the fiftieth time in the row. Chloe rolls her eyes.

"Dude, again? This song is so fucking dumb!"

if you guys have any thoughts about this, please let me know! it would be super helpful :-)

Hey how's the game coming along?

good question!! :) i haven't been working on it a lot recently because i've got some exams and stuff (also just a motivation issue), but chapter 1 is pretty much done.

i just need to finish a few things and then i could post it if people would like to play it- honestly, i didn't know if anyone would be interested, so thanks for asking! :)

big updates!!!!

hello everyone!!!

so i had a sudden burst of motivation today and added a lot of aspects to the life is strange text game as well as a tiny bit of plot too :)

here's what i added/changed:

removed dana (for now at least, sorry

added a 'bag' item - this is a big one! it's got sort of like two main cool bits:

the phone - here you can catch up on texts that are different depending on how you interact with the characters, sort of like in the original game :)

the other part is there are some items you can pick up that might affect the story/what you can do!

i also just added a bit more plot (finally) although i have yet to completely finish the cafeteria scene - some interactions still aren't totally done.

overall though this game isn't meant to be super dramatic or anything like that, it's just for fun! there's a dance at the end that you can choose to attend (or not) with specific characters so that's sort of where the plot is going.

also this new version is on a different file; it's not hidden or anything, but i might just wait until i finish a few things to share the link (otherwise it could show errors if you try to play while it's being edited)!

thanks again everyone :)

Life is Strange - After the Storm Chapter 1!!

replit

Life Is Strange - After The Storm (Chapter 1)

hello everyone!! there is some brief info and tips at the start of the game if you'd like to read that, but this is just the first chapter o

hello everyone!! sorry i haven't posted much recently, honestly i just wasn't working on much because i had exams and all that... but anyways! now i think i'm sort of finished with the first chapter of this game :)

it was really sweet how many people were interested - if you're not sure what this post is about, it's a python-based text game like the first one i posted on this account, based on what happens after Max and Chloe leave Arcadia Bay.

i don't really know how much to say here, i think it's sort of longish(??) but definitely shouldn't take super long to play! (just depends on how fast you read/type.)

i hope you guys let me know what you thought, and if you have any feedback/noticed any errors i'd be happy to hear it :)

in the meantime i do have a story planned out for the next chapter, but i might work on other things too for a while.

thanks for reading, hope you have a nice day!!! <3

side note: it was sort of a big chunk of code. so sorry if it takes a while to load!!
