This is truly a "fine, I'll do it myself" moment".

Here's an easy audio mixing guide for Ren'Py dummies (me).

It's so retro anime aesthetic that it makes life in a military base amid a zombie apocalypse look comfy.

I thought doing pixel art rotation for this UI was going to be hell but aseprite knows how to do it properly

I'm new to this so this is all news to me

So did you know you can just straight-up record ATL using Photo Mode in Ren'Py?

No, seriously it's that easy.

If you've ever wanted to use the camera but thought it was too complicated then now is your chance.

Let ME help YOU market YOUR #renpy #visualnovel.

Out of any other genre, don't you think visual novels (which are about 50% visual) should have a Photo Mode?!

Are you saying your game wouldn't be instantly better in every way by adding Photo Mode to it? (Do it.)

Hi #renpy peeps. I have made an updated timed choice menu. You can now stop using that outdated Cookbook example :)

You only have to add this:

menu(time=5, timeout="too_slow"):

Includes a video tutorial as well: cuteshadow.itch.io/renpy-timed-...

(Photo Mode coming soon:tm:)

Really impressed with the talk on the Ren'Py 3D Stage at visual;conference. (Especially the FPS-style camera control to demonstrate it - I'll need to add something like that to the engine.)
January 25, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Oh wow look I remembered my account's password 😅

Quick update: Our winter jam game is going to be delayed to 2025.

In the meantime I will be doing a Visual Novel Conference talk on Ren'Py's 3D stage so if that or any of the other talks sounds fun then get your tickets now!
@cuteshadow.itch.io will be talking about using the 3d stage and camera features that are in Ren'py, a feature many don't even realize exist. Complete with tutorial and examples
