Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

[Fire Lord Zuko]

I think it goes a bit further than this too sometimes. I wanted to do some very specific things and at least one spot in the game has different versions or Sel has done some modifications himself.

The rooftop I've tried lining up things to match a ingame screenshot once and saw the tiles are smaller. Whether this was a change the mapmaker did ages ago, or Sel did because he's a perfectionist and it annoyed him I'm not sure.

Then there's also how he does his starry nights. Has he modified the maps to use a specific texture for the starry nights or has he got green screen sky versions that he overlays the stars on in photoshop.

Some effects, I’ve been able to replicate using xukmi shaders. There’s a lot you can experiment with there. For example, if you wanted to add a red tint to the render (or whichever color), adjust the brightness and saturation, or add a blur to the edges for a better focus on the subject, you can do that.

As far as the starry nights… I have no idea. I’ve looked through countless skyboxes and can’t seem to figure it out. It seems too consistent to be photoshopped every time, though, so either I’ve overlooked something or he added his own custom skybox.

But for sure he uses Photoshop to put finishing touches on renders. Charastudio can only take you so far.

I’d love to know what lighting and shadow settings he uses. They just look so damn good every time.

Who you were responding to was the problem. Unless there was some annoying troll yesterday it legitimately could have been a post you've forgotten about.

I received the same message these days. I decided to ignore it thinking it was my fault.

Eh, it happens. Tends to be my fault when it happens to me in threads because I always follow tangents. Though I do hate when, of the entire tangent chain, only my posts get deleted, but again, it happens.

 

[Detective Dc345]

I think the deleted posts were from what followed my very accurate depicition of what was going on between Sara and Sana.

 

[Algorist]

I haven't played anything beyond the middle of 0.46... but I've been browsing backwards through the thread and apparently Sana has hurt Sara in a major way? I didn't want to start hating her... this makes things difficult. I do remember liking her less and less though, before putting LiL on hold (she was turning into an asshole). That does it, I'm afraid.

Sara > Sana.

Though older Sana is roughly as attractive as teen Sara so than changes things, slightly.

You should catch up now so you can get the next update on release. It'll resolve a bunch of plot lines for better or for worse, including what happened between Sana and Sara.

Then it'll be a random update (though 0.48 was supposedly a random update and that turned out to be major). And 0.52 is the beach which should reframe how we look at the chapter.
