Hi all,
I'm a beginner of Renpy, but i want to create my own incest game, i have 2 questions needed your help:

1. How can i show the big image and there are the options (or button) displayed as the image, i can click it to navigate to corresponding screens, like this below sample (ex: i can click Hospital image to navigate to hospital screens):
upload_2018-1-25_18-56-13.png

2. I know how to define the variable in Renpy, but i don't know how to display the value of that variable in the screen like this:
upload_2018-1-25_18-59-19.png

I am very appriciate if you can show me some sample code, it helps me to easier to figure out.

About me: im from Vietnam and i'm not the professional developer (sorry for my bad English), so it's really the big problem when i try to develop my own game.

About my game: It's about incest and i love mom-son incest, but instead of too focusing on the story line, i prefer MC can freely do what he want to corrupt the mother and the mother will act based on the corruption point.
Btw, i am the BIG fan of game Corruption.

I'm not that skilled myself, but you could see about extracting the scripts from the games you're looking to mimic. Some might even have them still in rpy format so that you don't even have to extract. Good luck, have fun.

You have the sample code right in the game you used for the screenshots. Use to extract the files, then look at the source code.
If I remember correctly, it use for the map. And, this I'm sure, the other thing is a simple .
For the "text" it's simple:
Code:
    text "[NAME_OF_THE_VARIABLE]"
is what you need to display the content of the variable.

For the "imagemap" it's a little more complicated. You need to define two images, one standard, and one with all the "sensitive zones" highlighted. Then you use to define the said "sensitive zones".

I seriously considered tagging you in my post so you could answer but it looks like you were on it already.

Thanks all, that's great, but i have small question:

Is it legit if i use the code and the image of other games (or the image of celebrities) to develop my own game?

I am afraid that i spend too much time and effort developing the game but it will be removed due to legit issue

Thanks all again

Don't use other peoples assets. There seem to be games that get away with using porn stills in their games, but I assume they aren't making money. If art isn't your thing find an artist. I'm developing a game myself with no artistic skill. You just gotta put yourself out there.

I'll be a little less strict than @darthseduction in my answer.

It's true that using other games content is a really bad idea. Editors and creators love they property and don't really want you to use it, especially if it's for porn. But there's what can be seen as more or less an exception, Illusion. Mostly they don't really care what's done outside of Japan, and anyway do they still really make games, or are they just high level 3D studios ? It seem for me that, as long as your game don't become a mega hit raising millions, you can use their product without real risk.
I explained it one time here, in a discussion regarding copyright, or Illusion itself, I don't remember, it's not in their interest to go after small games. An international action in justice cost a lot of money, for a potential gain which would be really small. And in the same times, like I implied, all their games come with "[something] studio". If they start chasing people reusing their production, they'll scare the people who buy them especially for the said studio. According to the number of blogs displaying scenes made with their product, it's probably a big part of their market, and they can't afford to loose them.
