It's basically just wrapping the existing set_volume, set_pan, set_audio_filter functions into statement form. I just find statements easier to work with than in-line python and typing out the entire path to the function.

Finished up my little pack of audio statements for Ren'Py, making it easy to set the volume, pan, and audio filters of different channels :D

Tomorrow I'll be releasing my Make Visual Novels! Speech Bubble Tools for RenPy over on itch.

These tools address some of the issues with managing and editing bubbles. It adds presets you can save & apply, uses drop down menus to select styles, and comes with a script to bake IDs into your lines.

Let's not forget motions! Get more control with how they are applied to your models, with control over the blend mode, speed, fps, weight, and more!
(All IN ADDITION to motions applied the normal way, through attributes!)

i’m just going to boost this again instead of 🤦 at how ignorant people are. any website that hosts your games FOR FREE, that doesn’t sell your data, or force exorbitant amounts off ads, is a public service & operates at a loss.
you are hurting the wrong people by setting revenue to them to 0.

on the payment processor situation from someone with experience in fintech…
voidfox.com/blog/payment...
“I guess I'm asking for some understanding, both of Itch's position, and the entire landscape, before declaring them at complete fault and dumping them in the sewer with all the other bad actors.”

“You can buy something on Itch and give Itch itself $0. Many people do.
Many more people are doing so now as some form of boycott or protest.
There are many anecdotes that say that Leafo runs Itch completely on their own, even going so far as to hand-process payouts and do their own social media and PR. I'd call that overworked, but that isn't the point either.
Recently a journalist (I don't want to even draw attention to the thread) reported Itch "knew for two years this was coming" (dubious), and did nothing about it mostly due to a lack of resources. They recommended boycotting Itch to punish them for this.
My take here is this: there was never a reality on the table where pressure would force Itch to somehow find a solution faster, or a better solution.
They lack the resources and can't absorb the fees of high risk processing.
The reality here is this pressure is more likely to kill Itch than improve the situation.
In my opinion, what they need is support coupled with the pressure to use that support to find a better solution. That may involve a surcharge on adult content and piping those transactions through a high risk MSP. That may involve saying "We have to institute a minimum share on purchases" and using those funds to expand staff and develop a better option.
To do so at this particular moment though would be the PR nail in the coffin. But regardless, if they didn't "do better" because of resources, denying them resources won't fix it!”
