Enjoy!

transform shakechar:

ease .05 yoffset 20

ease .05 yoffset -20

ease .03 yoffset 12

ease .03 yoffset -12

ease .01 yoffset 4

ease .01 yoffset -4

ease .01 yoffset 0

Example:

show nonny_cry_laugh at shakechar

You don't have to name it shakechar btw, I just called it that because I thought it was kinda funny

Thanks Renpy nonnie 😍😍😍

Ur a life saver fr

These transitions were getting very anticlimactic 😷

AND YAY HACKER NONNY IS GETTING A SHAKE TRANSITION EXAMPLE USED ON HIM !!!

His cry laugh be sounding 😥 but ☺ at the same time

I will call it shakechar too because that makes a lot of sense and its from u XD hehe

do you know any way to really give yourself a good ending??

I suppose I could code a gateway into the good ending by swapping the two script call pathway names. That would take opening the rpa file, turning it into a rpyc, then changing that to a rpy file. After that you just have to navigate to 40-41 or one of the exclusive pathway ones. You can also define it as act 1, M_kill_1 or something and then delete Monika and you should get it in act 1.

Hi I am looking at downloading the demo but I am worried I will not be able to read it because of how small the text is in the text boxes in the images you’ve shown. Is there a setting to make it bigger?

Alright so I've actually currently added some new accessibility options! (bigger font sizes, and the option to switch the font to hyperlegible has been added, and the dark mode theme to name a few)

but as I was a little worried about the code for the option to switch the theme color, it's only on patreon (and for KS backers) right now in a build with extra chapters and all that good stuff. It looks like everything is cool though so I'll be working on putting together an update for Itch this week

BUT!! If youre a computer user, you'll be happy to know that Ren'Py actually has a built in functionality for this as well!!

If you press "A" on your keyboard while in game it brings up the engines built in accessibility menu. It'll look a little different in the current itch build since the hyperlegible font is something I actually added in recently (I actually use code from this very menu to do the font switch lol)

This is part of the engine itself so it's something that is available in most (modern) Ren'Py games unless the dev disables the key shortcut

Although I don't know how you're planning your game visually (like how you wanna do transitions between backgrounds and stuff) I got a code that makes the characters do a lil jumpy jump to the next sprite if ya want, and you can customise how much they jump while doing it too 👉😎👉 only if you want to of course!

Oh wow do share! I only know vpunch and fade rn bc yeah

Id love to have that code sent over to try out. Thanks again renpy anon. You're the best!

No context ingo meme :D

It totally slipped my mind for the nth time, but have you heard of Mimo?

It's a free app that can teach you different kinds of coding and although it doesn't explicitly teach you Ren'py, it can definitely help you understand your code better and it's very beginner friendly too imo!

I wanted to tell you about it earlier but my shoddy memory wouldn't let me (or maybe I've already told you and I just have Alzheimer's :,) it really does help with the fundamentals though)

-Ren'py anon

Aw thanks Renpy anon! You're so nice and thoughtful :)

That really helps. I can't keep relying on these loaded renpy help pages and these historic oages. I'm gonna have to learn python sometime 💀

There are a LOT of labels and jumps in my code rn 😭
