Thanks. Remember you fondly. My game continues to downloaded at a good rate so that's been a nice welcome as well.

Have started a new project and still considering the right game engine for it. Have tried out renpy with it's dating sim engine for it's event scheduler and stats bar. Even put together a demo to give players an idea of how the concept would work in renpy,

Have called the game pop star as it involves the player in the role of talent manager. His task is to train a teen girl to be a pop star. The target at game end is to have enough popularity to reach pop star status. In the renpy demo, this is done by choosing from various actions to build up different stats. The actions start with default events and build toward event opportunities to further lead to the pop star goal. But for right now it's just the one day demo. This allows me to get a feel for the software as well as player response.

Suppose this goes in the project section were I to post the demo. But first question is is this demo something players would have an interest in trying out? As mentioned, most looking for an overall response to how well renpy acts as the game vehicle. Not enough material to get a real sense of character or what the game truly offers. So post if you have an interest in such a discussion.

oh yeah. absolutely. it actually sounds like if renpy can handle the rpg elements (stat building based on choices made vs. time constraints) that it's a perfect setup for what you're trying to do.

i think it sounds like a great idea.

Received a number of requests to re-release my first rags game, university sim1 on another board. As I recall, some players have had problems accessing the other site. So thought I'd put a link to the game here as well. In the process of reworking the game, added a fair amount of new material. Plus corrected a good deal of coding that finally allows players to see the game as it was intended to be played.

The game is of the puzzle genre. It's about the main character corwin who goes on an assignment to do what appears to be a fluff advertising piece on a university. Corwin's task is to take pictures and interview the 5 main individuals at the university. Which just so happens to be a female only establishment. Hope you'll enjoy the game. The link below is for the 3 day demo.

Sorry for the late replies to yours and other pm's. Been a difficult time for my family as of late so haven't been on the internet for several weeks.
