I love the way you say Menu. Your soothing voice is helping me through the pain that is learning coding again

Thank you so much for going through this!! 9_9 I had given up on making the namebox work as a image and not a tile... You're a real lifesaver by going through the main GUIs like this, your videos are so easy to follow.<3

Hello,
I have watched very careful your tutorials and I am very grateful for this content.
But I am really sad, since I want to create a game for kids with special needs and I don't know how to do it.
Especially, I need to create an inventory with a drag and drop system where a kid could take with his finger a key from an inventory on the screen and the would drop it to a door.
The key then disappears and door opens. So simple :-)
Please, do consider to create on our favor an inventory with a drag and drop system. I would be really grateful....
Greetings from Estonia! 🌸 🌸 🌸

[allaboutscience]

Thank you so much for all amazing videos.

Could you please make a video, how to make a custom in-game onscreen keyboard.that I can activate anytime.

Thank you so much for all the beautiful and amazing Renpy tutorials! It makes me understand and enjoy coding even more! 😻🌿✨ I have a question about using Live2D in Renpy, is it doable for a full game? I've been considering if I can stay and use Renpy to do that, or switch to another engine? ♥️ Again thank you so much! 🌿✨ It's okay if you don't have time to answer!

ZeilLearnings, Can you make a tutorial on pairing the name-box to different characters? Can you figure out how to add a star to it later (like when a player passes a counter)

[hanjoleh]

I recently discovered your channel and I really love your videos! 🥺💜 They are so helpful and easy to follow along so it was an instant subscription for me.😊

You’re probably really busy but I was wondering if it was possible to make a flowchart in Renpy, like the ones in the games ‘Psychedlica of the Black Butterfly’/‘Psychedlica of the Ashen Hawk’, or like ‘Raging Loop’. If you happen to know about it, would you be okay with covering it on a future video?

[Shoujovibessavelives]

Thank you sm for this tutorial! I was wondering though if there was a way to manually choose where the text buttons go for the quick menu instead of just using the hbox to adjust everything at once?

[erwinneyr]
