VN Ren'Py What We Left Behind [v0.0.1] [Dreamscape Games]

[Jokr_]

so what's the verdict with this boys

 

[Canto Forte]

Well .. we are utterly lost in the weeds of so many perspective it is impossible to care or follow anyone for two long before the trail of story crumbs gets cold and another perspective takes over, seemingly wiping the past all clean off the face of existence.
Let us dip our toes in this game and see what emotions, if any, get startled in our hearts:

Nothing lewd to be seen.
To much distraction for me.
In here for the porn.

i just cant read this, pls add the option for arial or helvetic or something for the text when we have a choice to pick

the new game set up quite literally does have text box optioning to make it all easier to read

 

[I-Love-Adventure]

nice game thank you

 

[lurkin]

Lovely renders!
Found a small grammar glitch: "of ripped your dick off" - you mean "have".

 

[lurkin]

Also, I wonder why you can set the MC's name if all SMS keep calling him Kareem.

In most Renpy games, you can press Shift+A to get a menu where you can make a lot of changes to the display of text.

I regularly also replace the shaded text box with a transparent one, and I add a few lines of code to the gui.rpy file to create black text outlines:

define gui.dialogue_text_outlines = [ (4, "#000005", 0, 0) ]
define gui.dialogue_outline_scaling = "linear"
define gui.charaters_text_outlines = [ (4, "#000005", 0, 0) ]
define gui.characters_outline_scaling = "linear"
style say_label:
    outlines [ ( 4, "#000005", 0, 0) ]
    outline_scaling "linear"

Some games use black text instead of the default white, so fiddling with text color in the gui.rpy file is also needed sometimes.

And the gui.rpy file is also often hidden inside an rpa archive, so you need a tool like unrpa to extract it. And it sometimes needs to be decompiled as well.

Sometimes the Shift+A menu is actually disabled by the developer too.

White text with a black outline and an invisible text box is almost always the best option, but you usually need to do a few minutes of work first.

Would be nice if there was some marking of whom to text/call, and not to constantly jump to Tasks screen.
Why do the sandbox if its going to be REQUIRED to text all of them? i would understand if the optional stuff would be hidden in the free-roam, but some just want to enjoy the story and not a point n click bananza behind multiple menu's.
Just having the usual renpy options immediately presented whom to text/call now would make this palatable.
making the player go through the story a chore is rarely perceived well(by me atleast).
The cursive font is a bit an ass to read tbh.

Oof. Free roam and clicking through phone menus? And no point and click or sandbox tag that would have filtered it out for me either. Ah well. Characters in the preview pictures looked nice though.

Every game that has a text box should default be transparent or have an option to click on hide at the bottom of the screen.

I tried to use this code however not sure exactly where it needs to be placed in guy.rpy I tried a few places and has not made any difference.

Is it possible to show exactly where needs to go?

 

[Daastaan007]

Android port?

 

[Maviarab]

Well, this might be interesting, but there's far too much style over substance, one path isn't even available (female) and honestly, after 10 minutes of clicking through shit to even 'start' the VN, I just decided to do something better with my time.

Many tags are wrong, so many missing....

It shouldn't matter where you place it. But sometimes that batch of code can be overridden by code in other files, or canceled out by similar code within gui.rpy itself. It can be quite a rabbit hole sometimes. The more customized the game's UI, the more likely that this code will not work. Options.rpy, screens.rpy and even script.rpy can contain custom UI code.

I don't know why white text with a shaded box behind it is the default. White text with a black outline and no box is better basically every time.

I really like this game. My suggestion is to add a nice body Asian woman as a character.
