Hi. Hey. Hello! Cross posting this from the bird page.
I swear I'm not just three chonky raccoons stacked on top of one another in a cozy sweater. Or maybe I am. Would that change anything?

Setting up your .gitignore for Ren'Py games version controlled by Git
Version control is great. If you're not using it already for any gamedev adventures, you should really consider doing it.
Git is the one I see used more often (in conjunction with such distributed versioning services like GitHub or GitLab) and for a good reason - it's the industry standard in pretty much any programming job I've done, there are plenty of tools to make its usage more simple (though I always recommend starting from the command line first, but that's a story for another day) and the aforementioned services are free to use for private projects.
However, if you were to just version-control all of your project with compiled scripts and all and you're not the only one committing stuff, you will soon encounter the dreaded merge conflicts - Git can't really track binary files (compiled scripts are usually this) well and if two people are touching the same file - Boom! Some shenanigans and headaches are bound to occur.
Enter the .gitignore file. It lives in your project root directory (the one you set up git tracking for) and shows you which files not to track with version control.
This is the one I use, but other people have also shared theirs.

could i ask you how you edited the quick save menu to be images above the text box??
I've been meaning to make a simple Ren'Py GUI for download, so why not document the whole process?
I'm starting off with a new Ren'Py project with white/green GUI and 1920x1080 screen size.
First of all, we need at least idle and hover icons that we will use in our quickmenu. I created these and so that they're organized, I put them under /gui/quick_menu folder:
Next we need Ren'Py to use them. For that we find the following lines in screens.rpy:

A thing that bothers me about wizard schools in popular media – outside of the magic-grade-school stuff, anyway – is that they're typically depicted as being basically magic universities, but their actual curricula and pedagogical approaches look much more like those of a technical institution. Like, buddy, that's not a wizard university, that's a wizard trade school. You can't just slap university student culture on top of trade school pedagogy. It doesn't work like that – the one emerges from the other!
"Well ACTUALLY wizards are" wizards are made up. They can be analogous to whatever real-world class or vocation the author wants. Wizard-school-as-university and wizard-school-as-technical-institute are both perfectly fine; what I am grumping about is wizard-school media that doesn't seem to have a clear picture of how different sorts of educational institutions actually operate.
Okay but now I really want to know what a Wizard technician would look like. Would he wear magical overalls with all kinds of reagents and magic tools sticking out of his numerous pockets?
A guy like that walks into your tower with a toothpick in his mouth, takes one look at your summoning circle and goes
“I see yer problem. You used chalk B12 instead of S3. B12 is only for transmutation circles. Gimme a sec I think I have a piece somewhere here.”
He fixes your circle, test summons an imp and goes.
“There ya go. Fit as a fiddle.”
"I see what went wrong here, the floor is granite, you need it to be limestone for this chalk"
I reached this silly milestone in the word-count for a game idea I've been toying around in my head.
So naturally, I had to sketch how the love interest looks in my head.
My partner: What are you working on? Me: A horny character. My partner: Finally making that 🌶️ game? Me: No. He literally has horns.

do you prefer the dialogue text in a textbox, in speech bubbles, or on top of the screen?

When editing your work, ask yourself after each scene:
What did this scene change?
What choice did my characters make that further defines them?
Would I be missing any information needed later to tell the story if I cut it?
Can I make this scene do more than one thing?

Hi, friends!
Ever been curios about how Under Maintenance came to be? Grab your beverage of choice (here are some in-game recs: 🥤☕️🧋🍺🥃🍸) and check out Under Maintenance's Postmortem - it gets in the nitty-gritty of all parts of our development process.
I never really liked playing with dolls as a girl.
So I'm compensating now by making fictional characters kiss.
