Changing namebox position in Renpy

-

 When we published the game in an earlier version of Renpy (8.3.4) the namebox position was working as intended. It was appearing at the rightmost edge of the screen with the text aligned from left to right. However, when we switched to Renpy 8.4.1 then even though our code was same the namebox's position got switched to something that was getting hidden by our character side images. Below is a screenshot of what is meant by that.

The namebox started appearing behind the character side images.

 So, we went into the gui.rpy file in order to look for settings using which we could fix this and we found this:

   
The setting was gui.name_xpos and gui.name_ypos 

We changed the settings of gui.name_xpos and gui.name_ypos and we were able to fix the namebox's position. Below is the image after the fix was applied:

 After applying these fixes we published new builds to both android and web platforms and made them live on both Google Play and itch.io. If you want to play this game you can get the links from here: https://redseed.cc/dusk_point_reloaded_mikos_journey.html

Niara ROTK Devlog | Marketing the game

Marketing your video game is a life long process. It never ends. You start marketing your game from the day you first think about making it. This is true for all products and services under the sun. The marketing process goes on until either you die or your products or services die. For our game we chose to go with paid ads first. We put ads on Facebook and Google and they cost a lot. However, they did not generate much sales so we decided that we would not be using paid ads so much. We have also found that paid ads work best for free to play games rather than paid games. Then we decided that we will have to market our game through organic reach and posts using social media platforms. Hence we hopped on to all the major social media platforms and started working to establish our presence there. It has been hard but it is an ongoing process. We are still on major social media platforms and are still actively posting about our game as well as our development process. When so...

Kori's Fable Full Version Release

We have released the full version of Kori's Fable Visual Novel. It took us 2 and a half years to develop this visual novel and we are happy to present it to you finally. We were planning to publish this VN way before but life got in the way. Oh well, did life get in the way or was it the circumstances? Anyway, please enjoy this visual novel. It is a playable software but in the end its a novel. And you will have to read a lot. If you are fond of reading and looking at pictures and listening to music at the same time then you will enjoy this work.  It is not an adventure game so please don't bother with it if you are looking for an adventure or arcade game. It is a novel so there is a lot of reading. We are clarifying this point because there have been some instances when people have downvoted and dismissed our work because it did not have arcade or platformer elements in it. You can get the game here: Google Play:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc....

We have started working on a new visual novel game called Kori's Fable. This time we are going to go all out in structuring our world and fleshing it out completely before we begin to write the characters. The chapters and the scenes in the story will come much later when we had done fleshing out our story world completely. Kori's Fable cover art 1 Kori's Fable cover art 2 To do this we are taking help from NaNoWriMo ( https://nanowrimo.org ) and the tutorials which they publish from time to time. They have a very useful guide on creating the story world, the characters, the plot and they guide us towards good and free resources which we can use to write better stories. Apparently, NaNoWriMo community is really helpful in assisting new writers write their first draft too. In fact, that is the whole point of their NaNoWriMo challenge that is held in the month of November every year. It may also be a good challenge for writers who wrote a few stories but quit b...
