I've been wondering: exactly how much easier is Ren'Py to use than ONScripter for making an Umineko forgery? A while back I decided to make an Umineko fanfic forgery of my own, and began plotting it out and starting to write it, but it became obvious really soon that it would work much better in VN format. So I've been looking getting the ONScripter software and things and beginning to look up how to use it. Kinjo's guide is a godsend; I'd probably have given up on the idea by now without it. But if Ren'Py is so much easier to use, maybe I should try that instead? I have some programming experience, albeit from about ten years ago, but not in any of the languages involved in the VN programs. If I go ahead with it, I really want an "authentic" sounding/looking Umineko fangame. I'm not planning to have many custom images or sprites either (...except if I can talk anyone into editing the goat sprite so it has a Battler-style pointing hand). |

Btw For those who are using CHiru script as base to there VNs, ld command as you can see is changed but that doesnt mean the original ld command is deleted. When you want to load the sprite and you dont have it numaliased , you can use _ld (c,r,l),":a;whereyourspriteis.extension", effect |

By the way, does anyone know if it's possible to make an Umineko-looking tips screen with Renpy? I have experimented with it a lot, but since I'm a total stork when it comes to scripting, it didn't get me anywhere...

As far as Renpy goes, I've never bothered with it, so I can't say if it's easier than ONscripter or not.

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/cookbook/Tips_menu This enables creating a Tips menu, but for a Tips screen you'll probably have to program one youself. For the rain, making the animation might be a little complicated, but if everything fails, then just use the rain image and sound. Oh, and does anyone know how to add that bubble effect the witches do to appear? The VN used "breakup.dll" to do it, and I don't know if Renpy allows custom effects or just the usual ones (fade, pixellate, etc.). If it allows, then it would be something like that: show xxx at center with breakup.dll |

I'm a new member here and i just happened to stumble upon this thread. Being a big fan of the Umineko series i loved reading fanfics about it and i have to say that Witches and Woodlands 3.5 was one of the most amazing ones i've ever had the pleasure to experience. Hats of to Jan-Poo who obviously put a lot of work into it. I've read a few of the other fics in this thread and they were all really intersting too! Hopefully there are many more awesome fics to come.
Hmm i suppose i should contribute something so this post doesn't seem completely pointless. I did stumble upon this fanfic a few days ago and it was a very entertaining read. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8128158/...Black_Sorcerer Its a short fic of just 6 chapters but it was quite memorable and interesting in many ways. I loved that it had an actual mystery behind it and you actually have to try to solve the riddle at the end if you can see it all. But i wont give away too much so have a look for yourself and see if you like it. Thanks again to all of you that have and are still writing Umineko fics, keep em coming! |

Here's a pilot of a story I've had in mind for quite some time now. As a basic summary, it takes place after the Magic ending for EP8 after Ange sees Battler. She still has questions about the Incident and goes to a detective for help:

What I liked about Forgery is that to me it kept the spirit of Eps 1-4 fairly strong that made me initially love Umineko. I also wish we had gotten an awesome scene like Forgery's Tea Party in Chiru. XD
I did laugh at one spelling error I noticed though. "Homocide". :P |

Actually I was wrong, the rain images are gigantic so they should function perfectly for just about any resolution you could want in RenPy.
"Short" Rain "Medium" Rain "Long" Rain And the script, add it to your inits file: Spoiler for Oliver made this!:
To actually use this you're going to want to do something akin to the following: show rainback scroll show rainfront scroll show character expression behind rainfront at screenpos That will cause the rainfront layer to appear over the character sprite but the rainback layer to appear behind them. "Scroll" causes the moving rain effect, "static" is there if for some reason you don't want the drops falling, like a flashback shot. Like so: Spoiler:

Just finished Inquisition of the Golden Witch. Overall I enjoyed it, but I wish I would have been in the interactive part some more. I made the choice of

The Tea Party was neat though, and the ??? was nice as well. |
