Hello, my name is HarukaNami and I am here to partner up with a BG artist now. I will recruit other talented people once the other things are planned and some arts are done. Sorry! I cannot offer money since I am broke, but you can gain experience and some add ons to your portfolio~

I found a sprite artist and now I'm looking for a BG artist. I have 4 different bedrooms and a few more BGs being thought of by myself.

Here is the information:

Genre: Sci-Fi, Friendship, Fiction, Angst, Tragedy, Mystery, Romance, Psychological(maybe). 

Choices to see stories: Zion, Ken, Karoline, Ashur.
Unlock Umbra’s route if all story routes are completed.

Summary: Lucia, the main character who lost her memory from a mysterious brutal murder. She woke up in a small headquarter meeting six people who lived in this headquarter as young executors. They kill prisoners who are in death penalties. Lucia will find out who the characters are, why do they kill? Why do they take this occupation? And what troubling past they have that lead them here? Guide Lucia and help gain each character’s trust or else... 

This is a long project, maybe 50,000 words or more.
This story will have sibling bonds, no incest relationship. 
Free game~
Three bad endings or more XD.
One true ending

Please give me a Gmail: harukanami9900@gmail.com or a PM in Lemmasoft: HarukaNami, I'm not active on this website. Thank you all!

It doesn't work with Chrome OS. Only linux, windows, and Mac. You can export games to android and IOS, but not the ren'py program, as far as I know of.

Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-27 22:10:49 +0000 UTC]

So I have a couple of projects i've been working on, but when I opened Renpy, it doesn't have my projects in the projects list, it just has "Tutorial" and "the question". 
my projects are still saved in my documents so I can open the script and stuff so i can edit, but I can't launch my games so i can test them. 
what happened? and what do I need to do? 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BookGlitters In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-28 23:32:50 +0000 UTC]

It could be that you just need to move the game project's folder into the same place you have the "Tutorial" and "The question" folders saved. This usually solves this error. Also, You can change this setting under "Preferences" in the ren'py program to set it to where they'll show up. Though, this usually does mean you'll need to move the "tutorial" and "the question" folders to the new location. Hope this helps and let me know if it's still giving you any trouble!

Lear-is-not-amused In reply to BookGlitters [2017-06-29 00:47:18 +0000 UTC]

I think I fixed it... though it concerns me as to why it removed them in the first place.

BookGlitters In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-29 02:12:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure why it would remove them. But, if any problem with it continues, you can reach the developer of the program on the Lemmasoft forum "Pytom". I'm glad you were able to fix it though!

HarukaNami [2017-06-12 04:29:32 +0000 UTC]

Hi, everyone! This is HarukaNami. I am a Writer/Renpy programmer offering everyone an occupation for a project I would like to make. 

The game is called 'Crimson Regret' it was originally a novel that I made years ago, but I decided to convert it into a visual novel game. It will be short: 35,000 words or more. (Depends). 

The genre is: Fantasy, Drama, Supernatural, Psychological, Angst

Here is the summary:


Azure is the son of a bastard Phoenix Leader. He is currently about to become a phoenix warrior, but he encountered a goddess that was given by his father. Azure will have to protect the goddess until she gets her position, but this goddess seems a bit odd...This story is a third person that is split into two main characters. Both of them are male while there are two backstories with another perspective another male and one female.



What I need:

Co-writer: (1)- You are in charge to discuss and make ideas with me. Yes, you will have permission to write the story with your ideas just as long as you have my permission. However, you will have to give me some small writing samples (300 words). In Gmail only. For further details for the characters and the current writings come talk to me by Gmail because everything is in Google Drive.

BG Artist: My current bg artist is gone due to unknown circumstances, so I could use a new one. I have some backgrounds for you to edit, but you will have to give me samples of your bg arts.

Composer: My composer is a bit busy with his life and he could use some help, but there are most times when you have to work on your own. I will review it. I know that soundtrack will mostly have a piano on it, so if you are a piano expert, then that's perfect! 

GUI Artist: I'm looking for a simple GUI art. I don't really like complicated things, so give me a pm for further details.

for other occupations that are not listed here, discuss it with me. It's more likely that you will play the waiting game. PM me for further details.

This is a free project, I apologize for not offering you money because I am a broke college student DX. But... I can do trades for writing and programming!

For contact, adding samples, and seeing the documents. Send me a Gmail: harukanami9900@gmail.com


Give me a PM if you are a concern about something and yes, you have my permission to reply on this forum.

Also, the communication will be on Discord I will give you a link if I accept you.

Ask me if you have questions!

Edited: I forgot to add that this project is not 18+ it's 16+ thank you for understanding!

You need to set it as a displayed background in the game's script, instead of as a character sprite.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to actually submit a VN to deviantart, since I'm nearly finished with my first game ever and I just realized that I have no idea how to submit it XD. It is a Ren'py game hence why I am asking here...Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Um..if you're in need of a host for your game files, I'm offering to do so for free for game developers on my site.

TheRaspberryQuill In reply to Sierra-G [2017-01-15 20:28:36 +0000 UTC]

Ah. No problem! (And, apologies for the late reply.)

To submit it to deviantart, you would need to either create promo art of your game or simply take a screenshot (or multiple screenshots) and submit that. As far as the game itself, you can't directly submit to deviantart unless it's a flash game, so you'll need either a web host, (if you have your own website) or a file host (such as mediafire) . I personally recommend using itch.io/ for hosting your game. They have a nice setup for both free and commercial games. Once you've uploaded your game to the outside host, just link it in the description of your submitted deviation with the screenshot.

HarukaNami [2016-12-19 02:41:49 +0000 UTC]

Hello everyone! This is HarukaNami and I could use a GUI designer for a fantasy based visual novel.  

I'm willing to pick anyone who would like to gain some experience. Yes, it is a free project, so everyone works for free. 

This story is about a man named Azure Lock Crimson that is ready to be a phoenix warrior. However, he was not joined in a clan since he was mixed blood of a bird and a goddess. He was assigned to gain experience on protecting one alone. His assigned goddess name was Viola Scarlatina. Who is she? Azure is about to find out on who she really is.

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Horror, and Drama.
