I've already watched such videos, but yours is definitely the best. Short, focused and completely understandable. Thank you

I feel so stupid to know about animating images in Ren'Py but not using them for main menu xDD

[angeldl]

Love this! Animations on the main menu screen just adds a nice touch. Also love the animations in the main menu of your game that you showed at the end! Again a really nice touch.

Thank you! short, sweet, to the point. I was able to get it to work in the code, but it was blacked out--but your tip on switching to a mp2 file type worked perfectly. Thank you for making this!

Yus, thx! I just tested the .webm title screen background approach on the latest Renpy HTML5 build, and it worked nicely.

[Mjumiman]

I'm hyped. May just try something a little fancy for the main menu in Invisible Seams!

Hey man I just watched your "Ren'py Transitions and Animation Tutorial" video. When do you think that the character "wallking around" tutorial is coming out? I would love to use it in a Game Jam that's justing starting in 4 days (The Adventure Jam!).

Your videos are crazy polished. Keep it up!

The video is really helpfull and just tried to customize my main menu. Unfortunately the result is not what I expected. the background that I replaced became too small and didn't fit the existing screen. The background is located in the left corner of the screen. is there a solution?

[alexemrys]

using webm and its just a black screen :(

[lissah]

I was wondering if it would be possible to use an animation created in live2d as a background image... Do you have any suggestions?

[EinzigsteEinzelganger]

Thanks, my friend! Just what I needed! One question... Is there any easy way to make the main menu animated but the other ones fixed (preferences, &c...). I know I can change the background of those menus to a fixed one when you're in-game, but, when you're on the main menu, if you go to those options, it's the same image as the main menu just with the other overlay added. Thanks!

[patrickpasson]

not sure if anyone will be able to help, but can you resize a webm movie in the gui script?

[StamatisDiamantopoulos]

Thank you i tried but in my main menu there is not transparency as in yours. How you did that?

Question, I place a hide NPC1 to remove a character from the screen and then I create a scene Block as an IMAGE sequence that lasts 10 seconds in total. Finally I put a show NPC1 back on so that it appears again. My problem is that it does not appear 3 seconds into the sequence and not when it finishes starting, should I place the show not inside the Block? Or is there a way to add time to the show so that he doesn't appear once the sequence ends?
