Write Your Renpy Visual Novel Using A Word Doc!

[pass_by_reference]

Hey everyone, given the feedback, I will start development on a desktop app once I finish up some of my other projects, which should end in January 2023.


Thanks for the feedback and kind words, and I look forward to continue to develop these projects.

Single Handily one of the coolest things I've seen someone do, this needs so much more attention.

Would definitely appreciate an app version! The fact that it keeps bold, italics, colors, etc. is awesome.

This is amazing and solves the second most intimidating part of making my games, thank you!

I'd love a desktop app! I'm hopeless with math and programming, so that's really been my barrier to making visual novels.

[SakoresDark]

This might just be the perfect thing!!! I'll test it tomorrow! :)

Hi! This is so helpful, thanks and thanks. Generous people have helped take the sting out of my learning curve.

An app would be wonderful!

I'm pretty shaky on knowing what exactly I broke after I've added something to the wrong place. The frustration slows me down a lot.

this is so fricking amazing. Thank you for this.

[Shameimaruru]

This is really cool! Will definitely be helpful in the future if I ever decide to try make a quick VN.

Now if this can be done with a libreoffice presentation, that would be cool.

i played a vampire novel had same problem. there the developer said i had to set autoforward to minimum or maximum depending on how i coded it i guess. and it actually worked. but no such luck on other games.

[kenonerboy]

Solid work, rtf would be very flexible

[rusted_ursa]

That's absolutely epic. Is there going to be support for branching story paths?

[eirdonne_]

could you create a video on how to implement it? no idea...

[shikiyoten]

I am doing to try but if it is working LIFE CHANGING

[Greensken]

how about a video on simply getting text to speech working with autoforward.? problem seem to be with renpy 7.7.3... its so boring to chose between stephen hawkings reading the novel for you then you have to click for it to continue. or read yourself. is there a way i can open the game created. and just update the game to newest renpy version or add a small script so autoforward work with TTS. thank you.

This is great! Any way to add image to this? Like dialogue one line then Image:Sample_001 Then next line or something like that? That way when you write in word doc, and you have the images you want for that bit of dialogue, you can insert the image directly there instead of manually insertig the image in the code which could be hundreds if not thousands of images.

I think I have a problem, when I convert the file ".docx" it generates the code for renpy but not with the same size of tabs that have the default renpy files, which generates an error.

[iisuskryt]

Heyo! I have a little troble using the script.
When I try to convert something like: John: Hey! How are you doing?, the sctipt converts it as "John" "JohnHey! How are you doing?". Like it includes the character's name into the speech. Can you please help me with this?

Subscribing for this video. Bless you. This makes everything so much easier.
