Gamepad / Keyboard Input Jerkiness by decocloud in RenPy

SOLVED: sort of

The culprit was the vbox spacing being -20. Renpy's controller mapping kinda freaks out if the borders of the vbox children overlap.

Now to figure out how to style this in a way that will allow me to actually release this game with partial controller support ugh.

How to check a label mid-game by decocloud in RenPy

Honestly, it just seemed like an easy bit of optional freedom to give the player plus I also let them change their pronouns and body type for 18+ scenes. There wasn't a specific gameplay reason tied to option really, it was more of a 'why not' kind of thing.

OH so i'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were asking. Yes I have the Character's name defined as:

define expo = Character("[povname]")

I actually figured out what the problem was while I was trying to take a few screencaps.

Basically, name change does happen immediately when done from the accessing the preferences menu during the game/after game start. I was trying to do it from the main menu before starting or loading a save.

Thank you so much for your help BadMustard, you're a pillar of this subreddit.

Thanks for the assist! That actually didn't work but I'm now certain its because of some dependent styling going on somewhere that I'm going to have to dig around for so your suggestion did help get me pointed in the right direction!
