That didn't seem to work, but I've decided to make the last line lead to a menu where you can jump to cast 1 instead of trying to make it automatically jump to cast 1.

I am guessing this is what you want, also you just need to remove the : at the end. also if you want to leave comments you can just do `#Add in OG Fred scene here when made.` instead of using the textbox to have the comments also you can use call instead of jump so you can have a script for calls for you menu. and the...

I'm making a meta-horror game, and I want a character to "climb" out of the game window. The problem is that I've found only one "tutorial" on this that I understand, but it uses tkinter library, which doesn't work with renpy. I know it's possible to render an image outside of the window, because I saw it here: https:...

Yep, the Ren'Py window. And if people play full screen, I'll just won't show this image. But I'm also going to suggest them to play in 2x window mode, because my project happend to be 1000×600, so there is some black space left.

Thinking of creating a new UI system! With the series I have going, that means changes are needed, do you want a second series covering the UI or implement it into the current one? YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@strikezillatuts](https://www.youtube.com/@strikezillatuts)

Haven't gotten around to checking your stuff (just have the playlist saved) but a good rule of thumb is to keep everything in the same box only if it's all interoperable and connected - otherwise it's less confusing to just have a standalone series.

How do you have the hyperlink defined? Are you using the `a:call` or `a:jump` keyword, or `a:show`? If `call` or `jump`, the statement ends. `show` should just show the passed screen without doing anything else.

Save version compatability is down to the individual *developer* and game using a special label called `after_load`. The technique isn't the easiest, so many don't bother. As a player there isn't much you can do I'm afraid.

I have a text tag to pause a sentence to make it flow more naturally, however for some reason, it causes the following words to be moved down to the next line, even though there is more space on the same line. Is there a way to stop this so that text tags don't affect a line being moved down?
