I have solicited 3rd party advice on this one: ( Mado's Link: www.renpy.org/doc/html/mov... )

Mado says, "more than happy to!

in short, use renpy. and if you plan to use renpy, use .ogg for audio files and .webm for video files (plus .webp for most image files)

really saves on file size https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html"

Jeremy | Ace (Mad) Scientist @jeremycoatney.com · 02/10/2026

Heeeeeey Mado, would you open to answering some visual novel dev questions? (Not from me personally. ThempireIain posted a question the other day) I know this is an odd thing to ask a stranger, but given that the Violence series has voice lines and such in it I figured it was worth a shot to ask

Thempire Iain asks, "Hey visual novel knowers! If I were making a visual novel that involved video (MP4) backgrounds and voice acting (MP3) in addition to the text on screen and I already owned visual novel maker so cost isn't an issue: Should I be using visual novel maker or renpy?"

The three cards I made for @rainyrentyn.bsky.social's Art Jam this weekend. Based on the project organizer, Essie Out of the Blue and her character lore (Please ignore the typos I've only just noticed, I'm sure trying to 😅 ) #Art

Card type: Entity / Unique Dream Dragon
Abilities: If you control 'Well Loved Book' when a card you own would be destroyed you may add it to your deck instead. If you control 'Hearthlight Cafe' when you would draw a card you may add a 'Hearthlight' Card from your deck to your hand instead.

Card named "Well Loved Book" depicting a book on a store counter

Card Type: Item / Unique Grimoire

Flavor Text: Its worn pages radiate a deep affection for the whimsical and the dreamers of the world

Card named "Hearthlight Cafe" (Lacks an illustration)

I very rarely comment on YouTube videos but sometimes this kind of stuff just leaks out lol #OpMode

YouTube Comment that reads: There are a lot of things LLMs are extremely good at, it's just none of what folks are trying to sell them for. They could have even gotten them to do a lot of what they're misusing them for better if they'd taken the time and care upfront. That's what annoys me the most on a professional level: I'm sitting here watching folks who have a perfectly good spice grinder strap nutmeg to wrecking balls and smash them together over a teaspoon instead of using the precision built tool they already had, and then they tell me not only will everyone be doing it this way soon but the process hardly gets any rock or metal shards, or misc. industrial dust into their baked goods at all

Hi Zungie! I'm a mad scientist, minor (alleged) super villain, and general agent of chaos that's trying to make the world a better place one lab accident at a time ✨

Doctor Jeremy A. Coatney wearing brown bell bottom pants, a pink and white lab coat with rolled up sleeves, thick black gloves, heeled boots, and large round tinted glasses. His left hand and left eye are visibly cybernetic, and his shoulder-length wavy brown hair has some streaks of gray in it. He's overweight, but the lab coat mostly hides it

Doctor Jeremy A. Coatney wearing a black pair of underwear. His chest has a bullet scar over his right breast, three clustered close together on the left, two in hist chest. A variety of surgical scars are visible across his upper body. His left hand, left eye, and lower half of both legs are visibly cybernetic, and his shoulder-length wavy brown hair has some streaks of gray in it. Four ports can be seen on the back of his neck around the base of his skull. He's overweight with a bit of a belly hanging down in front

Doctor Jeremy A. Coatney wearing white bell bottom pants, a pink button up shirt that's unbuttoned near the top, open fronted white dress jacket, a golden necklace with a sort of jelly-fish like talisman on it, and heeled boots. His left hand and left eye are visibly cybernetic, and his shoulder-length wavy brown hair has some streaks of gray in it. He's overweight, and the outfit accentuates his curves a bit

Prior three illustrations combined onto one sheet with four example expressions, a ray gun, necklace, and close up of the cybernetic eye

It’s seen better days, but I’ve been using this specific mechanical pencil since 1996. Which kind of typifies my attitude about replacing things that still work (I’m reorganizing my desk atm) #OpMode
