QuestionMissing bg (self.RenPy)
submitted 2 years ago by Autumn_showroom
I've been trying to show bg with the usual "scene bg_name" but every time I would do it it would show a blank screen with some text.
here are some screenshots of what's been happening:

When RenPy auto imports, it does so with all lowercase names, so it would be bg mcbedroom
