You are aware that Ren'Py is a game engine, yes? Whether or not *3rd-party developers* choose to use AI art and/or dialogue in their game has diddly squat to do with the underlying game engine.

I think there should be proper licensing for training data, but I kind of don't necessarily see it as bad for complex/multimedial art to be more accessible.

You got muted because you were whining that the discord server had AI channels at all and refused to shut up about the issue. You were told how to hide the channels if they offended you so much and still wouldnt shut up about it.

It's simple, *before* the AI channels existed it was in *all* of them. The moderators created those channels so it could be *confined* to them, much as why the NSFW channels exist. It isn't an endorsment of AI anymore than NSFW is an endorsment of *insert-kink*.
As was pointed out, the Discord user can mute channels.

Hi all,
I'm trying to have a character sing a song, with the lyrics and animation playing in time with the song. The code below displays the correct timing for the song, but the player can just click through all the lyrics and animations, causing it to go out of sync.

Well, you're kinda having to force the player (not) to click. That is, you're asking them to click at the appropriate times, *hoping* they'll do it. I can only think of a few ways to get around the problem, and I don't think you'll like any of them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out! I think I'm going to go down the route of recording the process as a video. If I do this, is there a way for me to make sure the song or video is not skipped if the player clicks? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
The only way I can think of to stop clicks is to use `$renpy.pause()` (Well, that's not true--you could implement a full-screen `screen` that eats the keys and clicks, but I mentioned that before.) If your video file is 45 seconds long, just put a `$renpy.pause()` statement directly after it with a 45 second delay.

That backgrounds seems like a photo and some type of filter.
Nothing bad about that, Higurashi When They Cry does the same thing. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-01-08 |
Oh yeah, it's just a stockphoto with a filter slapped over it. I was just wondering if there were ways to make it look less...crunchy? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-01-08 |
backgrounds usually look rather simple or aren't highly detailed so characters can be highlighted easier | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
What file format and resolution are they? Is the resolution of the image the same as the resolution for your game? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Both are 1920 by 1080. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me. Seeing invisible crunch and static lmao | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Maybe! It may be worth checking the file type still, some are considered "lossy" like jpegs and can cause artifacts aka the crunch. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Do you recommend pngs for backgrounds then? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Use webp if you can. It's smaller than png but can also achieve the same results. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Well, I think that's what that filter is supposed to do. Try to use others until you find one effect that you like. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Yes! You can also use webp as henne said but I don't personally feel it's too necessary to do so and I prefer the convenience of PNGs. On VERY large images, webp is definitely worth it but with the resolution you're working with, the difference in file size probably won't be that noticeable overall. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |

Try opening the script file directly with VS code instead of through ren'py. Without more context, I'm not sure why you would be having issues. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Renpy itself isn't a code editor, so I think your issue is that you need to install a code editor?
**I recommend this one:** [**https://code.visualstudio.com**](https://code.visualstudio.com) | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
One of the first steps after installing renpy is to select the code editor. If you somehow missed it go to preferences and then select a "Text Editor". As others suggested already 'Visual Studio Code' is the best | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |

If you want characters to have emotes, you already identified that you can do this with an animated image. If you want to lip sync to dialog, presumably you have a voice recording. You would just need an animation that matches the timing. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |

name the images intro_ethan and intro_zac. Or even better remove "intro ".
Only the first word is the tag of the image, all the other words are attributes. Read more here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaying_images.html | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Thank you for that hint! Just to clarify... so Renpy thinks that in both cases the image is called "intro", right? And I think the attributes are meant to be used for something like "zac happy" and "zac sad" - so in both cases the image is the character zac but with different details?! I am not sure why it is like that... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
Yes for Renpy it's "intro". You created 3 "people": ethan, zac and intro. intro has 2 variations.
That's why I suggested to get rid of "intro", so that you only have 2 "people": ethan and zac
Personally I would keep it simple and define those 4 images as follow:

In theory you can use any engine to create images but if you want to sell your VN, you have to check if the engine allows it.

The most important piece of advice I can give is to play the greats in your subgenre and take extensive notes.
Every genre of media plays by its own set of rules and the only way you can learn them is by analyzing major titles in depth. Visual novels have a lot of unique quirks that you need to internalize.
As you do... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |

Try it in another renpy project with just the sprite, just to test it, also, maybe there's something wrong with you actual code that you're just not seeing some little detail that makes it work but not fully, you said the image was on the left before so I don't believe the problem could be with the images ... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
