1066x599 is my screen resolution I used so yeah x'D I cropped my character sprites so their height is 599
But for side images, you need to play with the yalign and xalign, it's the position of the picture :'3
More explanation:
- if you type xalign 0.5, yalign 0.5 the picture will appear in the middle of the screen like being 'justified'
- xpos and ypos is a little different. It counts using pixels, for example; xpos 100 means 100 pixels horizontal from the right. ypos is vertical
Um, this is just me but before trying to make side-images, you might want to read the instructions written in the gui.rpy
that's where you customize the overall GUI, starting from main menu's background, text box, etc... ^.^)/
Ah! I forgot to tell you that there's also lots of tutorials about Ren'Py on http://lemmasoft.renai.us! I learned a lot from that, don't give up!
Also, you might find free mini games codes, you can copy and paste them to make your game more exciting x'D I believe I used Alex's CG gallery's codes... I kinda forgot, it's been a long time but it's definitely free to use! You can learn a lot from looking at other people's codes :3
And don't worry, you'll get used to restarting your game over and over again just to check whether the codes works or not OuO)/
Welcome to my world, sis!
