This week's progress so far! I spent the last few days polishing my game jam VN from a few weeks ago.
- the UI is now fully customized
- the mini game is now more reactive and it gets progressively more difficult with each try
- also, I learned how to use Aseprite to make sprite variations and a new CG!

Code review: Items that change
I’ve been coding up some tools to help storytelling in Ren’Py. This is a class (actually two) for items that change as they are used.
You may need to view the code on the original page to see nice formatting.

For my visual novel project, I wanted things that have images and tags, but can mutate or change as they gain more. This is the code I wrote: (Fediverse readers might find it looks nicer on the original page) I’m far from a seasoned Python game dev, which is why I am open to some […]
I feel dirty
I had to ask ChatGPT to help me install RenPy from source (the Ubuntu package is broken beyond measure), as I could not figure out how to get a nice icon on the dash rather than having to dig out some sh file each time.

- Mango is close to finishing our key art!
- Trmin worked on our latest twitch integration feature: adding notes to journal pages!
We were discussing game dev on a Twitch stream I watch and how it feels and where our strengths and weaknesses are. I mentioned 3 engines and how they feel to me personally. Unity and Godot both feel like mixing oil and water to my brain. It's a struggle and the information doesn't stick. Meanwhile Ren'Py is one of the best documented easiest to understand for me. The tutorials are clear, I understand the API well. The people behind the docs are fantastic.
