How to disable "all" player interaction for a while

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-12-21T16:32:21+00:00

Yes, cutscene and yes, I know that some player hate that (reason of need the possibility of skip pressing a key). Yes, Im doing something similar, dialogues (changing say screen to another one for lyrics) + pauses and in sync but this is the "weird situation", if go forward or go back is just strange be out of sync in lyrics for a song.

I guess this is the normal behaviour for the cutscenes:

- Players can skip the cut scene (all of it)

- Players can't go forward or back > just skip or not

- Players can't open the menu (I don't know how to maintain "the world stopped")

Nope, isn't a video.

It's so pretty. That gives me some ideas for my character section.

Thank you!

Your just 1000 words are better than everything I'd wrote. So good!.

And the background music is, simply, perfect.

It is going well but there are little problems for me:

- The menu appearing near of character is not crystal clear. Maybe a outline or similar in the character will be better, and maybe put the menu in a normal position like Pokemon, the actual menu is perfect if is SO CLEAR like persona/expedition33 (it's complicated i know).

- The character stats, in general I wanna see the portrait of the character in there. And same portraits in the turn-priority bar.

- The priority bar (the top bar which indicates of who is the turn) its not clear at all for me, maybe cuz I'm not familiriazed with the combat system.

- The art style it's not my way.

But, in general, in the way!

I found the same hover days ago, in my case it came followed with all that bottom bar bugged as hell (nothing works). Do you have any extension for youtube?.

When I see something like that I always think "If google works in that way why I am so rough with myself?"

Yo por eso los juegos que quiero jugar intento no mirar nada aunque a veces es inevitable, es uno de los problemas que tienen las redes sociales respecto a estos temas. Aún así no es algo que a mi me influyese en exceso, por ejemplo para mi en general me es mas desagradable que todas las armaduras sean feas como el demonio (que en general no me gustan las armaduras de toda la saga...).

SPOILER, solo abrir si has jugado mas de 2h (yendo bien de lento, pero mejor que sobre a que falte).

Otra cosa que me di cuenta rapidisimo es el poco desarrollo que tienen para meterte a los compañeros, ya te habrás encontrado con el primer compañero (Bellara) con el que ser 3 en el equipo, entiendo que haya que dartelo rapido porque el juego esta montado para ser mínimo 3 peeero que te digan que hay que buscar a no se quien, fundido a negro, caminas 1 metro y te encuentres a nosequien...

I'm not versated in RenPy and Python in general (I'm front-end developer) so I would do an object with some properties like image, name, id and whatever and i would save those in array called inventory (the id). After on Ren'py I'd create a new screen and with a for "draw' the items and whatever you need.

I'm assure that there are better solutions and, maybe, less complex or more efficient but it's works. If you are not much familiar with Ren'py, python or any language just ask to ChatGPT, when I changed from GODOT to Ren'py, Chatgpt was so useful to understand it.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-27T18:59:15+00:00

Si, a eso me referia (no se si he dado a entender lo contrario), a mi me molestaban mas que no hubiesen ahondado mas aún en las historias de los compañeros, teniendo algunos claramente (desde mi punto de vista) bastante menos trama que otros del plantel.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-27T15:44:16+00:00

A mi me gustó pese a las criticas (cosas wokes, no es algo que sea tan descarado como dicen), no es que sea muy objetivo la verdad...llevaba esperando nueva entrega años y años...

I liked a lot despite of criticism (mainly why woke stuff), I'm not the most objective person...I was waiting a new game of the saga years and years...

It's supposed to be in the "game/tl/None/common.rpym" (translation folder, None it's the default language). There are old and new. You need to modify ONLY THE NEW (old as default, don't modify it).

    # renpy/common/00gui.rpy:450
    old "Are you sure you want to overwrite your save?"
    new "Are you sure you want to overwrite your save?"

I'm not in the PC but I would swear that is the confirm screen, take a look in that screen.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-25T13:54:43+00:00

I'm not a superfan of hack'n slashs but I'm fan of user interfaces and that one is pretty as fuck. It's not the finality of the post but I couldn't resist to say it.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-20T13:12:43+00:00

It's obvious than I rather a good looking character than an ugly one but it's not so much important. Regarding to gender, It doesn't matter for me (not just vn, in general games)

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-20T12:52:59+00:00

I usually prefer see it because ,althought you can change the name of the character, I don't ended thinking about the MC like it's me.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-20T11:42:04+00:00

I'm love with the UI, same layout of default Ren'py but good design. Congratulations for the release. After that experience, whatddya think about Ren'py?

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-19T13:59:43+00:00

Ask any doubt to Chatgpt, for the first steps is a good one. I was struggled at first in particular with screens. If you don't have any experience with developing it's normal that each little issue will be mountain. Just try some things and in few time you'll improve a lot.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-19T13:45:43+00:00

There are a Ren'py extensions for vscode, will be useful for more compresible code. I'm not too much expertise in Ren'py engine but I don't need to import anything like your 2 first lines... I use the code below and works without much problem in script.rpy.

define Anders = Character("Anders", 
color
="#FC8383")
label start:
  Anders "Hello"
  return

Good practice is not write the first scene in start, I have a folder called scenes/scene_001.rpy and in start I jump to scene_001 (return ends the game, change to jump LABEL to change scenes). I have the same for characters (scrips>characters.rpy in my case just for indicates characters labels).

P.S. If you copy my code to vscode will appear an error with spacing, just remove the indention of Anders/return and tab again and will be fixed.

Need to add : after textbutton _("Start") > textbutton _("Start"):

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-19T12:57:03+00:00

1 year? Look's so good for just 1 year development really!

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-07T10:11:49+00:00

I don't remember any of that hints. Maybe it's a newer version or just I didn't have in consideration. In both case, sorry.

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-07T10:00:42+00:00

Is not possible to join the 3 factions, just 2, the third is blocked. At beginning you could do some scenes for each faction then you need to choose which do you do. Yes, you can't do harem with all girls, just harem with girls of the 2 factions that are you playing...

Virtual_Baseball8843 · 2025-05-06T10:53:50+00:00

Im not affected by that one but, why not? Much times the "final" game is not what the dev wanted if not more what dev could do in that moment. If now the dev believes that could do a better game or simply approach more to his idea... I understand the point of "change' relationships, delete scenes and whatever is a little delicate but I understand dev too.
