@vsitante @renpy Did you pick the correct update channel?

[–] Berin@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@cevn I'm happy that they could go all out with the CGI this time around but I didn't agree with the art direction and some of the characterization. Reinhard and Kircheis' designs I especially dislike, where are their luscious locks... they look like run-of-the-mill ikemen now :BlobhajSadReach: And since they decided to continue the plot with a movie series I kind of lost track of it

@literalgrill @anime

The last 100+ episodes anime I've watched must've been all of the original Legend of The Galactic Heroes! It's a classic :blobcatcoffee:

Apart from that, Hunter x Hunter and Naruto

@renpy I've been using the tasks in the Ren'Py VSCode template to do some of these things until now. This is interesting 👀

@ezlin @visualnovels yeah it was one of my first "proper" VNs as well :blobmiou:

[–] Berin@mastodon.social 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

@renpy You can also support the event by purchasing the Make Visual Novels RenPy Shader Pack or the Make Visual Novels RenPy Staging Enchancement Pack (which are also super useful Ren'Py tools btw) 👇

@renpy I went through them a few weeks ago to refresh my knowledge and learned that you can actually track variables on-screen via the console ;v; I've spent all this time repeatedly checking each variable...

@abs_solution It's a python-based game engine for visual novels ^^ It mostly uses its own set of script languages, though you can easily insert python code
