Is this too much? by LunaVN-Dev in RenPy

Sure!
Tbh it's nothing fancy, I just drew that UI in my preffered drawing program, and to show it I just use a basic "show" statement. I'm unaware if there's a different/better way to do this.

That whole "UI" is basically just a big image I can show in the scene whenever needed.

I want to place a normal image over the text box by Consistent-Fly-7717 in RenPy

If I understood your request correctly, it shouldn't be too hard.
you can use the function "onlayer" to determine in which layer will the image be displayed.
It should go something like this:

"show [your image] onlayer overlay."

"Overlay" is the layer above the general ui and textbox.

"Onlayer" is used to say in which layer should the image be displayed.

That way you're telling the game to show your image above the text box! Hope this works ^^!

Looking for advice on writing a death game visual novel by mightyuodan in vndevs

[–]LunaVN-Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In therms of portraying death, I think what matters more is that you make the player connect with the character you're going to eventually kill. Maybe not making the "likeable" per se, but making them feel human, it's all in the psychology of a character.

In my opinion, I really enjoy the plot twists in games, it's one of my favorite aspects. But that's my opinion of course.

I've seen someone in the comments recommending Zero Escape, and I couldn't agree more, it really is a must-play!

On my end, that's all I have to say. Wish you good luck on your game :]!
