Opinion: I like VNs where I can choose a route after the introduction (Otomate 😆). So I made a tutorial for people who enjoy it the same way I do!

This is a Ren'Py tutorial about creating a "choose a route" screen in Visual Novels. The code I'm using is mainly about "persistence". As the name suggests, ...

07/11/2021

I added a free code for locked routes in my itch.io:

This was inspired by a game I recently finished, Olympia Soirée. It's also my next YouTube Tutorial so stay tuned!

I created a simple Quest System in Ren'Py. The quests' availability are dependent on other quests also. https://youtu.be/5TJc3Z02z3M

I'm really really really thankful to all my subscribers who watched my videos and liked every video. Without your support and kind words, I wouldn't have the motivation to upload as recently as I do now.

Since this is a rare moment, let me tell you a story. My goal when I started YouTube was to reach 1K subs within 6 months but we were able to do it within 4 months.

So many people expressed their gratitude even to the point of messaging me privately on discord or pinging me on other servers. Most of my videos' comments are "Thank you so much!" to the point of me running out of different ways to say "You're welcome" or "I'm glad to help". To be honest, I'm really happy whenever this happens.

With this goal achieved, my next goal is to upload more videos. I have tons of video suggestions and my only enemy is time. I will continue to upload videos until I run out of ideas. Again, thank you all for the support!

P.S. You may join our discord server so we can help each other with anything VN-related. Invite link: https://discord.com/invite/QY3hABSgvM

New Tutorial series! In the new series, we'll explore the UI elements we can use in Ren'Py. (I feel like I have too many tutorial series already LOL) Hope you learn a lot from this one!

This is the start of my Renpy GUI Customization series. I've created a unique main menu just to demonstrate how well Ren'Py is able to do even this. If you have other ideas for my next GUI customizations, you may comment here or message me! 😊

I joined a "for fun" project where I create a VN with 5 other persons.

How it works: We create our story and code for 30 minutes then pass it to the next person just like the telephone game.
More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/o7j8y2/renpy_telephone_visual_novel_game/

When it was my turn and saw the project, I laughed so hard because it wasn't what I was expecting (in a good way). It contains very random dialogue and images. It's literally a mess just like what was said in the Reddit post. So I added my mess! (Note: Minecraft reference)

I joined the Otome Jam with a friend I met from a discord server. 2 months later we’re good friends and we’ve created a game. 🤩

Happy 500 subscribers, everyone!
Just a few days ago, we celebrated reaching 400 subscribers, and well, I still haven't started the ATL video (my 4th gift to you). Nevertheless, I want to show my appreciation to you all.
I created a discord server where we can all chat and help each other.
I included guides that can speed up your game development process. A few examples are finding teams/members, finding free resources and accessible help from yours truly and our helpful members!

Let's promote a healthy Ren'Py game dev server!

A viewer asked if I have a discord server or have a plan of creating one. TBH, I'm scared of interacting with too many people because I'm an introvert 😨
What are your thoughts? Should I create a discord server where you all can hang out and even have a chat with me?

You can also ask questions there, so I get notified ASAP.
If ever, | was thinking of adding helpful guides like "Where to start", "How do I find members?", etc.

This is a game I helped out on and the same game I mentioned in this vlog: https://youtu.be/1DzjMtgOsQ4.

It's truly a pleasure to work with Coffee Drip Studios on this point-and-click puzzle game. This is a game we created for the Otome Jam so we've been working on this since May 2021.

The demo will be available on itch.io on June 26, 2021. Please play the game and give us feedback once it releases!

Here's a collection I created called "No YouTube Tutorial Yet". As the name suggests, you can find my future tutorials' code here.
https://itch.io/c/1646289/no-youtube-tutorial-yet

I tried my best to explain it by commenting on the code. If you have questions, you can reach me on Discord: Zeil #4950

Feedbacks and questions are valuable to me because these will shape my future tutorials. That's why don't be shy! As I've said multiple times, I'm an INFJ so helping others makes me happy! 😊
