I mean something like that small dialogue window in the bottom left corner in last Atelier games.

Shouldn't be an issue... we need a frame like that.
Like what we're doing?

I pushed a dialogue frame, it even should be suitable for resizing of any kind.

Looks like I will have much more free time closer to summer than usual, and it will last several months. It can lead to major development progress if you'll manage to settle things on your end.

They are already settled for the most part!


They delivered my new hardware twenty minutes ago, I am putting it all together now :)

Specs?

I tried finding best value deals, coming up with:

Монитор 27" AOC I2769VM
Cooler Master MasterCase 5, Черен
2X 8GB DDR4 2666 Crucial Ballistix Tactical
Видео карта Palit GeForce GTX 1060 3GB StormX OC
Твърд диск 256GB SSD Samsung PM961 Bulk
Процесор Intel Core i5-7600 (3.5GHz)
Дънна платка MSI Z270 SLI Plus
Геймърска мишка SteelSeries Rival 700, Черен
Твърд диск 4TB Seagate BarraCuda ST4000DM005

which is a huge step up from my previous setup, some parts of which were 8 years old :D

One of the scariest things is the SSD, sh!t gets instantly downloaded from good servers... kept checking if files came out corrupted yesterday. I wrapped up installation of Win10 + all drivers (MSI has awesome driver support where everything gets installed automatically and downloaded at 200 mbs (or more, that is the limit of my current connection)) and copying old all the files from old harddrives (I had like 4 300 - 500 GB drives). Going to do Dropbox next.

They become kinda expensive if you have a powerful enough PSU, but somehow even that price doesn't prevent them from getting burned  :)

Btw now you may have the same text scaling issues in renpy as me on my win10 laptop.

No idea, I am still downloading dropbox stuff who seem to have really shitty servers. Whole devkit is there.

Win10 is weird, it sent PC into sleep while I was AFK and DB was syncing with server. 8.1 never done anything of the sort, it'll take a while to setup and get used to...

And it doesn't support the most convenient and reliable way of running non unicode applications, applocale  :(

ghm... doesn't sound very good :(

DB is still syncing... 25k files left out of 100k. I am trying to figure out how to kill uac. One ok thing is notifications window, feels less annoying somehow.

No idea, everything looks perfectly fine in Ren'Py, I especially love boarder-less window but that is prolly theme related. Colors are also really good on the new monitor.

I still got a lot of sh!t to install...

It happens when you use screen scaling in win10 plus extend in renpy. Spaces between characters in text change a bit after every extend.

Hey lads.
I've been kinda bored lately and feel like doing some girlpack related stuff or similar but since i kinda lost interest in regular WM i figured I'd ask you lads if you want some help in that department or anything else image related?
If not, i'll leave to your work. :3
