UH---
I tried, but how big should you draw the full body for it to be cropped into a side image? so confused TwT
Sowy for da disturbance, but so far, you're my last hope. TwT

In this case, I just cropped Maya's body so it's only chest-up x'D
Or! You can fiddle with the xalign and yalign, it's almost the same as xpos and ypos :'3
Oh and don't forget to compare the sprite's size with your game's screen resolution.
Bermuda's screen resolution is 1066x599 (Not recommended tho, a little too small. You should use your laptop's or PC's screen resolution as reference), so the character sprite's height shouldn't be more than 599 (from the knees up maybe?) I usually draw a sprite bigger than the resolution so it doesn't blur and easier to draw detailed accessories, then I resize it along with other sprites to compare compatibility with the screen resolution, background, and other character sprites' compatibility.
Err, to summarise it, it's important to first make a 'fake screenshot', so you'll know how the overall game will look like, how big will the text box be, how tall are the sprites, and whether they look good together or not. And then, you can just crop each item and save .png
Um, I'm kinda bad at explaining this, aren't I? @@
Please tell me if you're confused
hmm, so I need to crop my character's body from chest-up?
and it shouldn't be taller than 599....? I use ibis paint, so I should use a frame that's 599 in width this way I don't overdo it?
sorry, I'm kinda confused because this is my first time, and I don't understand the tutorials T-T
So I should draw her full body, then crop it in ren'py with the.....coordinates(?) that you provided me with? I never really understood what yalign and xalign, xpos, ypos is 0w0
but I think I have an idea of what you're explaining to me, thanks! I was going to post the demo, but I didn't find my side characters when I launched the game, so I just posted the 'project' without the game itself. oops--
again, thanks for the explanation, I understand more now!
Hugs~~
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!
