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. #renpy #vndev cuteshadow.itch.io/photo-mode-i...

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.) cuteshadow.itch.io/photo-mode-i...

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 You can now stop using that outdated Cookbook example :) You only have to add this: menu(time=5, timeout="too_slow"): Includes a video tutorial as well: cuteshadow.itch.io/renpy-timed-...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:)

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!

I'm going to have to eventually name all these songs... (and also replace the music room programmer art with an actual UI)

From now until Saturday, November 30, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST, I will match contributions made to the Smart Barks pack, up to $800, out of pocket. If we reach the goal $1000(for a total of $1,800) we'll be able to afford a live speaker event in Summer 2025! makevisualnovels.itch.io/smart-barks

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!

Whoa! There's 977 downloads on the first VN I wrote for! So close to 1k, how awesome!! If anyone wants to try managing their own VTuber agency while making wholesome friendships, give it a whirl: cuteshadow.itch.io/underholo Careful though, things may be rigged…

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 😅

I'm working on an animated scene in @cuteshadow.itch.io 's Winter Jam project! It has been a fun learning experience and really pushing the limits of what I know how to do! 🌠🌃Look forward to Starlight Meets the City Lights in January 2025! #yuri #CutieSaturday #vndev #indiedev

Okay so Starlight Meets the City Lights (the winter yuri visual novel) officially has 6 Event CG artists working on it with one of them being a frame-by-frame animated sequence 😭

Repost your game's logline! 1. Protagonist 2. Their Goal 3. Inciting Incident 4. Central Conflict "When a wide-eyed alien crash-lands in New York City, she teams up with a reluctant orphan to repair her ship, exploring the city together while evading a cop intent on sending them to an orphanage."

Let me give a lore recap to all the newcomers! (1.) I am making a Winter Yuri Visual Novel (duh) about an alien's trip to NYC. (2.) Because I am too good at Ren'Py I keep adding extra QOL features. (3.) Somebody mentioned photo mode. (4.) I just did it,lol? (5.) It also records Transforms now

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.

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 🙏 #yurisky

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. #vndev

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. #renpy #vndev

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 🤣 #vndev

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 ✨ #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev #renpy
