Hey,

As I'm working on story events for 0.3, I was thinking it would be nice to have more non-story events for the mid-game.

So testing the waters here: Would some of you be interested in an event writing context? Only a beginner's level in Ren'Py should be needed for this.

The idea is simple:

• Write a simple event in Ren'py, in a separate .rpy file, you can use new characters or existing characters from the game (provided you don't go all 'GoT' on them!)
• Add in comments the starting conditions for that event (for instance: minimum chapter, starting location, story unlock...), and the intended results (stat changes, gold or item gains...)
• Share it with the community and see which one is best! I'd pledge to include all the events that are of decent quality in the vanilla game.

I'll add in the next patch an easy way to launch such events directly in-game for testing (in the meantime you can use 'call' from the console).

Is anyone interested?

Yasaki feeling motivated!

Does this mean I can use the girls in the community?

Can't help with this, English is not my main language so i can't write, and also my brain is dead, zero imagination to write something cool (which is bad, i have to work on this) 

Well at least it confirms what I have learned over the years for this kind of games, you can get help with the coding, but the hardest part is to find people willing to write... 

Yeah sorry good to keep trying

I am somewhat interested, but I am somewhat interested in too many things at once. So not right now.

Hey Goldo,

What kind of events are you looking for ?
City ? Start/End-of-day brothel events ? Anything at all ?

I'll try to find the time (and motivation) to write some stuff over the next weeks.

PS: any non-used characters from Sengoku Rance are fair game ?

Any event really, I'm looking for a chance to ignite a spark among some of the lurkers on this here forum who want to try their hand at writing so I won't be picky. 

I have plans for a couple of Rance characters that are not yet in-game, but not more than that, so best drop me a PM with the characters you'd like to use so that I can confirm that there is no conflict.

I suspect the "write in Ren'py" is your bottleneck.

In that case it's a misconception, because writing in Ren'py is as simple as using quotation marks. A typical event in Ren'py looks like this:

    "One magical winter night..."

    "Loud voice" "HO HO HO..."

    "You wake up from your sleep with a jolt."

    you "Uh? Did someone say 'Hoes'?"

    "Looking around you, you find nothing out of place in your room. Sill is sleeping naked on her cot at the foot of your bed, exhausted after the vicious
     pounding you gave her last night."

    you "Did I just dream this? It sounded so... strange..."

    "Unable to go back to sleep, you get up and go down to the main hall."

    you "Whoever is in here... Show yourself!"
