Feniks - Controller Support Expansion Released! @feniksdev.com · Nov 13
To start off my fresh account, I've compiled a few Ren'Py tips into a bite-sized format! I've been programming in Ren'Py since 2018 and spent a ton of time working with it for all sorts of projects. Here are some less-common bits of knowledge ✨

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out!

#vndev I'm enlisting your help - what do I name this tool? What will describe what it does + make you want to take a look? It can do falling particles of all kinds, and also smoke, fireflies, raindrop splashes, and more.

I'm having a little too much fun making examples 😂 You can specify "origin points" for particles, which makes effects like smoke and sparks coming from a campfire possible!

#MVNA preview - an unusual particle effect with bubbles! Particles can float in any direction, and acceleration helps them gain momentum as they move.

Another #mvna sneak peek - fireflies! This one takes advantage of fluttering motion + a specific particle lifetime instead of waiting for it to go offscreen.

made a 'tv noise' shader for renpy, has variables for b/w or color noise and scanline amount/intensity/toggle, and it uses the 'overlay' blending mode :]

made for @whodunnitvn.bsky.social but thought it'd be good to share it

I am mentorship-pilled and I am social practice-pilled. I think it should be the responsibility of any artist who has “made it” in their respective fields/scenes to provide some sort of window into what makes them tick for the sake of benefitting those that are eager to learn.

While updating my earlier #Ren'Py tools, why not add in compatibility options? Coming soon: an update to the Color Picker tool which adds a few QoL additions, a new example, + a special controller-friendly version (requires my free Controller Support Expansion)!

i’m just going to boost this again instead of 🤦 at how ignorant people are. any website that hosts your games FOR FREE, that doesn’t sell your data, or force exorbitant amounts off ads, is a public service & operates at a loss.
you are hurting the wrong people by setting revenue to them to 0.

on the payment processor situation from someone with experience in fintech…
voidfox.com/blog/payment...
“I guess I'm asking for some understanding, both of Itch's position, and the entire landscape, before declaring them at complete fault and dumping them in the sewer with all the other bad actors.”
“You can buy something on Itch and give Itch itself $0. Many people do. Many more people are doing so now as some form of boycott or protest. There are many anecdotes that say that Leafo runs Itch completely on their own, even going so far as to hand-process payouts and do their own social media and PR. I'd call that overworked, but that isn't the point either. Recently a journalist (I don't want to even draw attention to the thread) reported Itch "knew for two years this was coming" (dubious), and did nothing about it mostly due to a lack of resources. They recommended boycotting Itch to punish them for this. My take here is this: there was never a reality on the table where pressure would force Itch to somehow find a solution faster, or a better solution. They lack the resources and can't absorb the fees of high risk processing. The reality here is this pressure is more likely to kill Itch than improve the situation. In my opinion, what they need is support coupled with the pressure to use that support to find a better solution. That may involve a surcharge on adult content and piping those transactions through a high risk MSP. That may involve saying "We have to institute a minimum share on purchases" and using those funds to expand staff and develop a better option. To do so at this particular moment though would be the PR nail in the coffin. But regardless, if they didn't "do better" because of resources, denying them resources won't fix it!”

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment.

If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business.

Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Completed, fully functional, 41 songs to unlock, thriving, nourished, and re-mixed because I realized I mixed the in game audio too quietly oops #renpy #gamedev #otomegame #indiedev
a much nicer looking music room with songs in various states of unlock

reminder that the "credit card companies denying the sale of anything that could be considered pornographic" fact and the "platforms/government trying to define anything remotely queer as pornography" fact should get filed in the same section of your brain
