Ren'Py Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Nottravis]

It's not something I'd consider important spending an age on, so if you can achieve the same in a manner familiar to you, then go for it. I like using the PDA, so I have no issue with any extra options being located there.

Thinking about I think it's quicker for the player on the PDA too.

Click on PDA, click on slider as opposed to get to main menu, hit preferences, click on slider

 

[Nottravis]

Are you sure it's an effective idea to put the bad children together where they could... plot

You'd both be too busy arguing over whose crayon it was to plot

But Notty is a master plotter, do you really think that you or Ava could possibly out-plot her, even if you worked together?

Sounds good to me.

If we worked together, we could take over the world!

They could try to pull some twists

but I don't thing that would be enough.

 

[Nottravis]

Righties. Sounds a plan.

Tune in tomorrow for the court case tho where the defendant (that's me!) will be blowing holes in the prosecution's case (and we all know who that is). Oh! And Doctor evil agreed to be the judge

I'll also get around to responding to your comments from that bit of piffle at the same time. My apologies for the delay on that, but priorities etc. Remaster seemed more important.

Laters!

Oh! More oh!

Full remastered One with all the new bits should be ready next week if anyone wants to try it?

Yeppity!

Yes please! Put me on that list! *puts both hands up* Pick me! Pick Me!

I see no problem using the PDA to do what you want, just make sure you inform the player and that what you do isn't more complicated/harder for the player to get to the results they want. A bunch of players dislike when devs make it harder or odd to do things, some games make it so you can't access save/load with right click when that is kind of a staple in ren'py games, etc.

However being transparency it will probably be a 1 time change for most people, so it won't matter that much.

..the marines ... had a key skill set ... who were the violence machines ...

I sense some confusion, you need a wrench icon:

Apparently, I was too eager to respond to this... it wouldn't let me post straight away... is this your doing Huitieme with your plotting and plans?

Well, I did have a cunning plan!

Yeah, I really dislike when devs restrict basic ren'py functionality. Be it saving, rollbacks, skip options, etc...

As this is bit of an extra, putting in the PDA (that's where the extras are after all!) seems reasonable, especially if it's even more convenient to access.

However being transparency it will probably be a 1 time change for most people, so it won't matter that much.

If ever, I don't think I've ever had an issue with it in any VN's. But it's nice for whom it is more sensitive I guess.

It's really useful for people with poor eyesight, the contrast can help them see the text easier. (I did a six-month study on it for the RNIB )

Christ....the difference is just...urgh

I do like the new image of Annie, especially with how you moved her arm out of the way of her cleavage. The removal of the small table behind her, the texture of the floor/carpet? The lighting, a slightly more expressive face, the editing of the text to be red and show the emergency of the situation, the editing of the star map to show Ophion.

3 questions on it though. 1st: the console behind Annie just has a bunch of star systems everywhere, this seems like a really confusing design choice for a ship. 2nd: The door? I think it is a door, whatever is the blackish thing on the right of the image, it looks weird as if something is sitting in the players view rather than being part of the ship. 3rd: Is the far right of the image a stowing area or bunks? I thought crew quarters were a bit further back.

I think it would be a monumental undertaking (time-wise particularly) to replace all the stock panels that don't make sense. Details are nice, but better not go crazy with expectations.
