Getting into Game development?


I've quickly put together some stuff for anyone wanting to try their hand at game development. At the moment many of the stuff is aimed at Ren'py + Koikatsu, which has been trending amongst those wanting to try video game development. Even a game developer new to Ren'py or Koikatsu might want to check it out.

Right now there are some PDF's with information and some Ren'py tutorials. For the Ren'py tutorials,  you will need the Ren'py SDK.

I've been updating the page and adding more Ren'py tutorials to "tutorials renpy packs.zip"

Hi, is there a way to get those pdf files? i'm not really sure which method is the best for taking screenshots and using animations.

I took down the instruction PDF a while ago. What I saw was too many people were just using Koikatsu as a means to make shitty money hungry games. I did not create these tutorials to enable that greedy mindset.

I don't know if I should share anymore Koikatsu tutorials anymore. Gaming should not be a get rich quick scheme, it makes game devs look bad as a whole.

oh i see, it's a shame that your tutorials were used in such a cheap way. Thanks you for the fast reply and keep with the good work!

If you're curious about my settings I'm currently using this with Ren'py.

Quality doesn't need to be that high on 07. You can use 12 as a sweet spot.

thx! i will try this today

Another thing I end up doing when it has trouble encoding animations after they are recorded is to exit CharaStudio. Usually that does the trick and the Video export ends up finishing up the job. Because sometimes it gets stuck on the encoding process after the frames are taken.
