I'm making a TTRPG that sucks!

Come watch my devlog series about it! I have 2 videos up on youtube, and a 3rd one comes out tomorrow! Devlog playlist. (This third video will probably be the last of 2024, I have many other projects asking for my attention for the later part of this year)

I’ve used my recently acquired knowledge of Blender and Unity to create this dapper gentleman. He’s chronically tired, though, I wonder why...

[turvuren]

Rutile and Padparadscha dating and Rutile's older brother Yellow is essentially their adopted child or something. Yellow can barely take care of himself, so Rutile, despite how much she hates it, and Padparadscha, not despite anything ever because he's a sweet summer child who cares for people around him.

Rutile and Padparadscha take turns trying to get Yellow to do the bare minimum everyday, and if he doesn't, intervention. Rutile bathes him, Padparadscha makes him eat dinner, or something. Yellow is too scarred, too traumatized that sometimes the smallest things trigger him. Enter Rutile and Padparadscha.

(they sleep snuggled up at night, yellow in the middle)

I really like the idea of the science team being able to change their models but just not being aware of it as a possibility until someone (probably Benrey in his sandbox room) comes out and is like. Some high res anime boy or sans undertale. Or something similar to Sc*rpy's awful Hagrid model from vr chat

Benrey is ABSOLUTELY the trailblazer when it comes to stuff like that. Here's a small sample of character models from Benrey's closet:

Every Half Life 1 NPC.

Every multiplayer Deathmatch model from Half Life 1.

Half Life 2 Gordon.

Lamar the Headcrab.

Minecraft Steve.

A Rubik's Cube.

Hatsune Miku.

Awful Hagrid (retired. Fuck JKR.)

Completely original character Wagrid.

Soldier TF2.

Sans Undertale.

Papyrus Undertale.

A PNG of the plush toy he had commissioned for Gordon's Christmas present.

Bob Animal Crossing.

And much more!

Watching a monster high deep dive video and half the popular comments are like “dolls never made me feel bad about my body it was parents so parents and adults complaining about it were wack!” aww that’s so nice you didn’t have yet another layer to add to your body issues that others had to deal with and that you’re now speaking over them! Now shut the fuck up <3

Not to Succpost and Monkeespost at the same time but the way Do I Have To Do This All Over Again is Kendall coded

[rp-partnerfinder]

Hey there! 30+ transmasc enby with 20+ years of experience RPing, who RPs exclusively on Discord. I am looking for RP partners who are 21+

So I just finished Ted Lasso and not only am I in love with the show and heart broken it's over, I'm also obsessed with one ship in particular that I'd love to find a partner to play Roy Kent against my Jamie Tartt. I don't have an exact plot in mind, but I am always down to discuss!

So if you love to yell about ships and share lots of fanart and share music the reminds you of the ships, then I think we'll get along fine!

You can either like this post and hopefully tumblr will notify me when this is answered, or feel free to message me directly.

I just love how silly people on this app are

[sasuke-from-the-uchiha]

I agree with the compliment on your artwork. If you're willing to share it, I would love to see the heroes AU sometime so I can reblog it.

// I had not thought about it… Well, if you’re okay with it, I’ll look for it to post!

      It’s uncomfortable. His dot eyes seek the distraction of the dancing fire that slowly cracked the bonfire’s wood. Before, during his days as a Kiri-nin, there was no need to mingle with any soul. He made sure to exclaim it wherever a too friendly shinobi tried to invite him to dinner. Do not get friendly with me.Many and many times. For his own peace of mind and theirs too. That manner you weren't going to be killed by a friend in the end. Orochimaru was different and like a snake, his sudden strike had cornered him into that shameful state.

      Then there’s his type of silence and long stares, from those equals as his predator’s eyes. Without breaking a sweat. Taunting, Mocking, Judging? What’s the meaning of it? He can’t really read someone else—when he’s the one showing so much. It’s like showing his cards and patiently waiting for the other’s move. 

      Closing his eyes, Kisame enjoyed the warmness that the fire provided. It was comfortable—but not as much would be if he could sink himself for a few hours under a cold river. Under layers the water turned warm as now. I am grateful.       As You Should Be. You damned man. That’s a thing he could never be mad about—his manners really excel from any other member inside that organization. Now that Kisame regained his calm and face flushed down the blood. “I'm delighted.” A simple nod expressing the approval of the compliment. “Caring? Kekeekekeke. I suppose so. ~ Glad to be of service, l’ll keep it in mind.” That would make things easier. The last bit was taken more innocently as a suggestion than anything. He preferred muscles and the bones anyway. A soldier always prefers simple orders to follow rather than thinking for himself.

      “Oh, depends. nee.” Their first mission was simple enough; retrieving info and coming back. A test just to see how they fared as a team. The daimyo’s castle which they planned to spy was just about 8 hours by walking.       “Are you planning for a full attack on the castle or a more subtle visit? If I’m going to fight full head on—it would be better for us to get a full night of sleep. I set alarms up to 6 meters from here it won’t be a trouble for us go at the same time.” As he said before, mission planning would be left at the sannin’s hand for the time being. 

       “Otherwise I wouldn’t mind taking the first turn on the watch If you wish to sleep right away, Orochimaru san... Miss Konan did warned that you were 90 years old. You need as much sleep as you can, nee.”

do you have any advice for those just starting out using renpy/ making games?

im still learning my way around renpy and making visual novels and what works best ..here are some personal findings:

..try to replace renpys default ui and mess with the options.rpy and screens.rpy right away , the more time put into it the easier it will become to make something unique to your senses. you can change basically everything. you dont have to make a widescreen vn either..4:3, square or portrait mode are possible as well

..look into layered images, the feature is really awesome if you want sprites that change outfits or want to be able to do unique expression combinations without having to save a png of every one

..its good to define characters, atl(animations), images, transitions etc each in their own .rpy file. you can make as many .rpy files as you need and you dont have to only use "script.rpy" to write your story. i divide my script into act files to make it easier..

n some not renpy stuff:

..this software helps you take breaks and avoid RSI and it is pretty invaluable for me. it will track based on the time you spend moving your mouse or keyboard. this also helps keep on task n if you get distracted you're more aware of it.

..if you are a writer, i cant recommend getting an alphasmart neo2 enough. especially if you cant handwrite. its an old device that lets you type textfiles without a bluelight screen. you can 'send' what you write directly to your computer through a printer cable and it types it out. it fits plenty and its useful for writing script outside the computer. refurbished ones on ebay are good.

..its easy to get really overambitious and perfectionist and then not make anything as a result..my advice if this comes up is to prioritize the existence of the thing rather than its ability to match the impossible image in your head. that ideal picture will always be shifting into more impossible territory as you improve anyway, so think about what you're actually capable of and make it actually happen!! important to remember ur not triple A studio.. being independent is an advantage cuz you can do anything!

thts all i can get from the top of my head tht i havent said here before(ithink?)..i think about the last one a lot honestly i think thats my best advice i have if you can call it that

hopefully this helps.. good luck with your vn/game!

How to Download Our Life: Beginnings and Always Mods

(a step-by-step guide!)

If you've ever wanted to download extra content for OLBA but were unsure how or where to even start, this post will hopefully explain everything you need to know!

What you will need:

Our Life: Beginnings and Always

RPA extractor

Latest version of Python

RPA repack tool

1. Finding mods.

As far as I'm aware, there are very few people who make OLBA mods, but if you do happen to come across someone who makes mods/script edits and would like to download them, you'll likely end up with files with the end extension ".rpy" or ".rpyc" Because the software used to make OLBA is Ren'py, these are ren'py script files that basically contain the script that runs the mod and official script files. (Note: Some mods that don't just simply add onto/edit/add more scenes may also include other important resource files (images, sounds etc...) and might be formatted in a ".zip" file. I'll cover how to unzip and use those as well.)

2. Find your game files.

First of all, before you do anything with your .zip or .rpy/.rpyc file(s) you're going to need to find your copy of your OLBA game's files. For Steam, you should be able to open the Steam app on your computer, navigate to your library, right-click your copy of OLBA, select "properties", navigate to the "Installed Files" tab, and click the "Browse" button.

For a direct download of the game such as from Itch.io, you should just be able to navigate to wherever you downloaded your game and find the same results. You should see your game files now like the picture below.

3. Finding/extracting the RPA file.

Now, you are going to want to navigate to the "game" folder inside the OLBA folder. Here you should find these files:

(Note: depending on whether you have the DLC or not, you may or may not have the DLC files. I do not have the Baxter or Derek DLC so I don't have those files here.) These files are basically all the .rpy/rpyc files, along with images, sounds and all other resources for the game, compressed into single files. So, in order to add our modded files, we will need to extract whichever RPA file pertains to the mod. For example, archive.rpa contains all the scripts, etc from the main game. The rest should just be DLC, so if you have a mod that only affects the main game, you will only need to extract that file. The same works if it is a mod that only affects a DLC; you will only need to extract that respective DLC file.

To do this, you can either download this RPA extractor or find your own and follow its steps. For this tutorial, we will be following the steps of the RPA extractor provided. Once you have downloaded the RPA extractor, drag the .RPA file you want to extract out of the OLBA folder, into a new folder, then drag and drop it onto the RPA extractor icon (shown below)

This should open a new Command window where the .rpa file will be extracted. You should end with something like this:

(for this example I extracted the step 3 DLC RPA file)

Now you should have a new folder containing all the .rpy and resource files you need.

4. What to do with modded .rpy/.rpyc and/or .zip files?

If the mod you downloaded just came with the files not zipped, you can skip this first part. Otherwise, you will need to unzip this zipped folder. To do this, you can either just right-click the zipped file and click "Extract All" and "Extract" when a new window pops up.

Alternatively, you can use a program such as 7-zip, which may help extract speeds for large files. Now, you should have, or already have your modded .rpa files on hand (finally!) Normally, if these files are editing preexisting material from the game or adding new scenes, at least one file, if not all of them will have the SAME EXACT file name as an already existing file. In this case, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING go into the folder(s) you got earlier by extracting the .rpa file(s) and look for the file(s) with the same name(s) as your modded .rpy/.rpyc file(s) and either make a copy or move them somewhere safe in case something is wrong with your modded files/you no longer want the modded files, you can put the original files back in. Once you have done this, you are going to drag the modded files directly into the folder(s) you got earlier by extracting the .rpa file(s). MAKE SURE YOU PUT THEM IN THE CORRECT FOLDERS AND EITHER OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL FILES OR MAKE SURE THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

If there are any other files, such as sounds or images or .rpy/rpyc files, feel free to just make another folder to put these in.

5. Repacking the RPA file.

Now these next steps can get really complicated, so I'll break them down into smaller steps. 1.) Download the RPA repack tool (make sure to unzip it) and the latest version of Python if you haven't already.

2.) Inside the unzipped "rpa-master" folder you'll find another folder of the same name. Inside this folder all you need is the "rpatool" file. Take this file and move it into a new folder completely outside of the "rpa-master" folder, name this folder whatever you want, it doesn't matter. (EXAMPLE BELOW)

3.) Now take the folder(s) you got from extracting the .rpa file earlier or created and put them in this new folder. (EXAMPLE BELOW)

4.) Type "cmd" into the path while in the folder with both of these.

5.) Now, a command prompt window should pop up, type in this:

 py rpatool -c

followed by the name of the .rpa file you want to make and the name of the folder(s) you are repacking separated by a space for each. (EXAMPLE BELOW)

6.) Depending on the size of your file it might take some time, but once you see the .rpa file appear in the folder, you're all done! It should look something like this:

Now, all that's left to do is put that .rpa file into the game folder with the rest of the .rpa files !! After that you can test it out and your mods should now work!

As always if you have any questions or need help doing this yourself, feel free to contact me or submit an ask!
