Как я сделала первую визуальную новеллу на Ren’Py с помощью ИИ

Когда ты «одиночка», но с идеей, базовым кодом и кистью в руках, сложные движки пугают, а выбор парализует. Но если у тебя есть ИИ, который не решает за тебя, а помогает думать — ты можешь создать что-то настоящее. Я хотела сделать первую в жизни игру. Теорию геймдизайна знаю, амбиции переполняют, намерения тверды, как гномья сталь. Разработчик на уровне «знаю Python, но Unity для меня — лес». Рисую — да, но не на уровне студии. И у меня нет команды, продюсера или дизайнера. Unity? Слишком много для старта. Godot? Тоже требует механик. А ведь у меня есть история, которой хочется поделиться, текст, персонажи, эмоции. Так я выбрала Ren’Py — не потому что он модный, а потому что он доступен одинокому автору. В этой статье расскажу, как я использовала ИИ не для генерации сюжета, а как соавтора мышления — чтобы выбрать между постапокалипсисом и фэнтези, придумать небанальную историю (без детективов!), создать героев, которые чувствуются — и собрать всё это в рабочую визуальную новеллу на Ren’Py. Эта статья — для соло-авторов, которые хотят начать, но боятся сложности. Для тех, кто умеет рисовать и немного кодит, кто думает: «у меня нет команды — значит, не получится». Получится! И ИИ может стать вашим первым союзником.

Python bits in Renpy for my visual novel

In this post, I am going to share some Python stuff I have written for my visual novel written in Renpy. The novel is set in my Three Kingdoms setting (recently added to my pixel wall).

These may or may not be a good way to do what I am doing. Please feel free to comment or reply with corrections, suggestions, or insights. Then again, feel free to just say […]

Little Lilly: Weitere Experimente mit Monogatari

Ich habe meine Experimente mit Monogatari fortgesetzt. Im Gegensatz zu meinem ersten, naiven Versuch »Reichspressekonferenz«, habe ich dieses Mal auch eine »Choice« eingebaut, die die Geschichte zu zwei verschiedenen Enden führt. Dafür habe ich mein Ren’Py-Experiment mit der kleinen Waldnymphe Lilly ein wenig aufgepeppt: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026040102_little_lilly_monogatari/ #Monogatari #InteractiveFiction #VisualNovel #GameDev #RenPy

Anyhow, there are three methods I've identified for "Snared Spirit" flying messages in #RenPy:

1. (a) Create an image for each line of writing. (b) Animate it to move across the screen.

This is similar to what I did with CSS using the Ink and JavaScript frameworks for the version currently online.

2. (a) Create a series of images with the line of writing. (b) Animate it.

This can show more movement, making reading each line a bigger challenge.

3. Get creative with the speech bubble system.

Tutorials zu interaktiven Geschichten und Visual Novels

Unser aller Datenkrake ist natürlich nicht verborgen geblieben, daß mein Interesse in den letzten Wochen verstärkt auf interaktive Geschichten und Visual Novels lag und hat mich dementsprechend mit Vorschlägen zu einschlägigen Video-Tutorials zugeballert. Einige davon klangen so interessant, daß ich sie hier veröffentlichen musste. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026032402_vis_nov_tutorials/ #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #Twine #RenPy

Zurück ins Wunderland (3): Visual Novels mit Ren’Py

Nachdem ich in den beiden vorherigen Beiträgen betont hatte, daß nicht nur interaktive Geschichten und Spiele mit Twine, sondern auch Visual Novels mit Ren’Py oder Tuesday JS das Ziel meiner Ausflüge ins Wunderland sind, möchte ich Euch zum Abschluß des heutigen Tages noch zwei etwas andere, eher ungewöhnliche Video-Tutorials vorstellen, die in die Programmierung von Ren’Py einführen. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026022603_wunderland_3/ #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #RenPy

Noch ein Online-Avatar-Baukasten (in »3D«)

Sollte ich für meine Ren’Py-Experimente auf die Testliste setzen: Peeps ist ein Online-Baukasten für Avatare mit einer 3D-ähnlichen Anmutung. Die erzeugten Bildchen sind laut Website auch in kommerziellen Projekten frei zu nutzen – lediglich ein Weiterverkauf ist verboten. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/09/2022092503.html #RenPy #GameDev #VisualNovel #Avatare #InteractiveFiction

Noch mehr Baukästen für Avatare

Kaum hatte ich gestern meinen Beitrag über Baukästen für Avatare veröffentlicht, da spülte mir der mitlesesende und daher allwissende Feedreader unserer aller Datenkrake zwei YouTube-Videos in meinen Feedreader. Das erste Video war eine Demo einer Avatar-Generator App, die Carlos Garcia als Übung in JavaScript geschrieben und der staunenden Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung gestellt hat. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/01/2022011001.html #GameDev #RenPy #VisualNovel #Avatare

Neu in meinem Wiki: Baukästen für Avatare

Da neben meinem frisch erwachten Engagement für TigerJython auch noch die Erkundung von Twine (mit dem neuen Story-Format Chapbook) und vor allem die Fortführung der seit langem versprochenen und durch meinen Schlaganfall unterbrochenen Tutorials zu Ren’Py anstehen, habe ich meinem Wiki erst einmal ein paar Seiten über Baukästen für Avatare zur Nutzung in Ren’Py spendiert. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/01/2022010901.html

Tutorial: Avatare für Ren’Py selber basteln

Viele (nicht nur) mit Ren’Py erstellten #VisualNovels und andere Formen interaktiver Geschichten zeichnen sich dadurch aus, daß sie die Gesichter und/oder die Körperhaltung ihrer Protagonisten der jeweiligen Gemütslage anpassen. So gibt es ein Bild für die traurige Alice (alice sad) oder die fröhliche Alice (alice happy) oder … nur die Phantasie des Autors setzt den veschiedenen Gemütszuständen Grenzen. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2021/10/2021102501.html #RenPy #GameDev #Avatare

I was at the bar drinking when out of nowhere a man came and punched the bartender.

The bartender hit his head against the counter and died.

The owner tried to stop him but to no avail.

The man knew what was coming and I did to him what he had done before.

Worknote: Ein RPG in Ren’Py? Interaktive Geschichten mal mit anderen Werkzeugen erzählen

Via Twitter bin ich auf obigen Screenshot gestoßen und meine spontane Idee war: »So etwas müßte doch auch in Ren’Py möglich sein«. So könnte man eine Kombination aus Computer-Rollenspiel und einer interaktiven Geschichte bauen: Die Spielesteuerung erfolgt über Ren’Py-Menüs und auf dem Screen läuft eine Art interaktives Bilderbuch ab. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/09/2022091503.html #RenPy #Spieleprogrammierung #InteractiveFiction

La mia #sidequest di scovare e archiviare app e #giochi di valore per il #browser, seguendo la filosofia del binario universale e tutti i mazzi annessi, certe volte mi porta si a complicarmi un po’ le giornate, ma non credevo di arrivare persino a scontrarmi con bug breaking di motori di #gioco famosi e utilizzatissimi… È la maledizione per cui in mano a me si rompe sempre tutto, anche se in questo caso no, è tutto già rotto da tempo, solo che nessuno lo sapeva bene. 🤢️

In pratica, ieri mi è venuta l’idea di caricare alcune VN sulla #SalaMuseoGames, considerando sia che RenPy supporta la creazione di build web da un bel po’, e che in genere è molto facile ricompilare e portare giochi fatti con questo #engine. Infatti, ho già provato a portare diversi giochi gratuiti presi da Itch.io, e al netto di #difficoltà inaspettate per alcuni (che magari racconto la prossima volta), in linea di massima non ci sono mai #rogne con i giochi in RenPy 8. 💟️

Però volevo portare una #visualnovel in particolare, ovviamente: #DokiDokiLiteratureClub! …e ops, questa è dei tempi di RenPy 6 addirittura, e non c’è verso di farla girare sotto le v8 (basata su Python 3 anziché 2.7, era ora). Sulle versioni 7.x.x per fortuna sembra venir eseguita a modino, ma… la compatibilità web lì è in “beta” (cosa che ho scoperto va letta come “totalmente rotta lmao”) e quindi sono subentrati problemi immediatamente. O meglio, ho compilato con la più recente v7 (7.7.1), e sembrava tutto funzionare, finché non ho aperto la pagina su Linux o Android per scoprire che crashava tutto al caricamento per via di uno strano errore del video, e solo su Firefox nella mia VM Windows si riusciva a giocare (quindi binario universale un corno). 🚧

Ho cercato e cercato tra changelog e pagine di aiuto, ma non c’ho capito granché, a parte che hanno cambiato tipo il sistema video ad un certo punto… eppure RenPy 8 funziona senza problemi. Ho verificato che solo fino alla v7.4.11 i giochi (qualsiasi) girano ovunque, invece dalla v7.5 appare la rogna. Alla fine, me ne sono dovuta lavare le mani: mi sono impegnata solo a scrivere bene una #issue sul GitHub, e ora se la vedranno loro a fixare questa immondizia, te saludo!!! https://github.com/renpy/renpy/issues/5478 (leggete lì se vi interessa il tecnico). Il problema è che quest’altra versione funziona solo su Firefox, e ha un #bug strano per cui la musica di sottofondo non carica quando cambia la traccia, quindi pensavo di dovermi rassegnare e aspettare ora… 🦧

https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/04/25/doki-doki-browser-club/

#issue #RenPy #DDLC #DokiDokiLiteratureClub #visualnovel #engine #sidequest #problema #rogne #browser #gioco #gaming #bug #SalaMuseoGames #web #giochi

I'm estimating that I have less than half of the #soundtrack and audio for my #VisualNovel complete and it's already 348 MB... I haven't compressed the files yet, but I'm worried my total game size is going to be like 2 MB of code, 16 MB of images, and 1 GB of audio...

is that normal? can any #GameDev or #RenPy VN devs here give context from their own creations?
