Spooktober Mode! Tokidoki Tactical Squad.



(I haven't forgotten about Starlight.)
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.

This is me quickly dropping Photo Mode into the #renpy 'The Question' demo.

I'm going to have to eventually name all these songs...

(and also replace the music room programmer art with an actual UI)

Let me just casually produce some of the most impressive cinematics you'll ever see in a visual novel in the span of a month.

We're escaping the PowerPoint allegations with this one!

Yeah, our Yuri Winter Jam visual novel is going to have a fully animated frame-by-frame sequence.

Why? Because it's important and @pumpkin-spike.itch.io was willing to hear me out 😅

Born to shitpost. Forced to lock-in visual novel dev.

I have funny numbers on itch.

There it records as well. Are you all happy now?

There is literally no more excuse not to use the Ren'Py 3D stage camera now.
November 15, 2024 at 10:32 AM
Done.

What's the point of a photo mode if there's nothing interesting to photograph? Not a problem 👍

• This one event CG has 20 layers drafted. A small price to pay for a visual novel with fully animated sprites and CGs.

• Thanks @yukimisoft.bsky.social 🙏

Imagine if you could save the game by taking your own photograph—

I'm cramming so many features into Starlight Meets the City Lights (a winter yuri visual novel) that I forgot to mention I've got a whole textbox preview working in the game menu.

Maybe I could port my Ren'Py Photo Mode add-on to UnderHolo (a horror game about vtubers) to give it a proper test.

I'm getting kinda jealous of the player. I should expand this for dev work so my camerawork is faster lol.

This Ren'Py Photo-Mode bit is getting out of hand. How far am I willing to take this?

This isn't even supposed to be a game mechanic 🤣

currently my quick menu is out of the way as possible, blending into the borders and only lighting up when you put your cursor over there
