Such "fantastic" responses I got for this game.
"Achievement unlocked" -> Get a thread taken down because of text based tag
--- Jokes aside, let's get real for a moment and explain a few things ----
Right so, many of you are probably wondering why is this in General Discussions?
Apparently (according to a handful of users) you are not allowed to create a text based game in Renpy, even if a 5 year old can use daz and/or honey select better than you (let's not even get to IRL drawings.. I suck even more there).
This was live in the games forum for about 10 minutes before the mods had to pull it down, move it away, clean it up, discuss the next steps, only to now open it up again here.
I guess the dev notes in the OP need to be bold with big letters in the middle of the screen, not behind spoilers so people will actually get the point of me posting this.
Dev Notes:
This is (for the moment anyways) only a text based
concept. This is more just me proving to myself that I can create a Renpy game and if some others might enjoy the story, I don't mind sharing it..... And we can probably all agree that I'm not the best writer
So thanks to these kind users, I'm going to double down and finish this story in Renpy, almost exclusively with text only. My new plan now is to:
- add a single image
- add a single sound file
- add a single movie clip with sound
- add a single movie clip without sound
Just to prove I can do those things. I'm not going to spend hours trying to learn to draw in any kind of program, simply because I've tried that in the past with no luck.
The only way this new plan gets altered is if someone, for some unknown reason, wants to create pictures for this, but I'm not going to actively look for one.
So, if you have any ideas about improving the story, things I need to test out or what not, lets hear some ideas.
