Ren'Py Development Update - February 2020 (and Label Log)
Added 2020-02-29 22:16:07 +0000 UTCThis month's Ren'Py development update covers many of the Ren'Py-related things I've done this month, like working on the renpy-build project and Ren'Py proper, as well as judging a Ren'Py game jam held at my alma mater. It also includes a feature requested by a backer: a way of making Ren'Py log the labels that a player visits.
I think it was a productive month. Thank you for your support!

Thank you very much. I will look into that. I really needed a place to start. The server side is already ok, with the download. I just needed a way to make renpy load the files. I want to use it only for images and audio, not script files. If its not too much to ask, why you not recommend it?

2020-03-25 23:03:38 +0000 UTCThis is pretty difficult, and isn't really something that I recommend. Ren'Py should be able to do it. The path to a writable directory should be in the ANDROID_PUBLIC environment variable. If you added that to config.searchpath, then once the init phase finishes, Ren'Py should search that path for files.

2020-03-25 22:19:07 +0000 UTCHi. I posted a question in the forum about how to load assets from the data folder on Android (where the save files are stored) instead of the assets folder in the APK. I want to make a function to download assets from a server while the player progresses through the game and keep the APK size smaller as possible. If someone with Renpy/Python knowledge could help me with this, it would mean lots to me. Thx all.
