I was having that problem when I was using the "window_background" in the Character() and using this method for automatic textbox change hence I just suggested manual change with ConditionSwitch.Calendar An icon of a desk calendar. When the mct is the first speaker in a scene change is there a ghosting of the default textbox before the custom textbox appear? This would be nice if it works as it will save a whole lot of typing and confusion but one question. Mct "Now the dialogue box is my inner thought bubble." "thoughtbubble", Frame("gui/thoughtbubble.png, xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0) # and are passed to the screen as arguments. # Character keyword arguments beginning with "show_" have the prefix stripped off, Screen say(who, what, thoughtbubble=False): Especially when you want a certain impact from your dialogue or focus on wordsįor anyone wanting to accomplish the same I hope this thread will help you out as well.Ĭode: Select all define mc = Character("Our hero") # for normal dialogĭefine mct = Character("", show_thoughtbubble=True) # main character thoughts While you can write in *Thinking to himself/herself or *while thinking *, that tends to not be attractive all the time and it's certainly not what I want in my way of writing. Therefore the player ends up thinking the character is actively talking. Italics alone is not enough because some of the fonts I use do not have a strong italic display, so it ends up looking like regular dialogue. I wan't to the players to be able to understand and see clearly that the characters are having a internal monologue (thoughts) when it occurs in my VN.

This is a nice writer's reference on why we might use inner monologuesĪs it seems is that Ren'py does not have a quick and easy solution to this which requires some extra code to get the job done. And in other mediums there is the boxy sound effect to their voice for the viewers to understand it's their thoughts.
Many of you have seen when a character is not actively speaking but is conveying their inner thoughts (internal monologue) to the viewers by using some sort of means which is usually a thought bubble in video games, VN's comics. One of my guesses is would I need to create speech bubble dialogue box? What that require some style prefixes to work with on doing that? Or is there actually a simple solution? Can this be done easily? For example I've used Italics but sometimes it doesn't look strong enough for players to see the difference from plain text, since italics are used to convey "Interior Monologue". I want to be able to show a character thinking or speaking inside their head.
