This is really a quick look at a major thing. If you are new to renpy you may find it helpful to check out my video about complex placements or to understand at least the basics of them before we go into this video. You can still watch this without watching that or understanding that as I do provide the coding so you can at least get your menu to look the same as mine. But if you want to step outside of what I do in this video you will want to understand the positions of things a bit better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK6ZOqQQggQ

In this video there is a quick look at the "quick menu" (the menu at the bottom of the screen when playing the game.) We take a bigger look at the "main menu" and the layout of the textbuttons (Where it says "Start", "Load", "Quit" etc.) for both the main menu and the in-game version. This should help you start advancing deeper into it if you wish, but if not, it should at least give you an idea how to make it look better then what the game starts off with.

Next video (in about 2 weeks) we will go into some simple things I missed in this video as well as a quick look into the gui and options to help you guys a bit more. Because this video was recorded more than once it made some small steps get forgotten about. But if anyone has questions feel free to ask I will be happy to answer them and I will add what I can to the next video to really finish up the basics of this more complex topic.

(I will be putting chapters in after the premiere is over to allow you guys to watch what you want. It will depend if I am working that day if I have to wait until the next day to add that or not. So if you really only want to hear about one thing give it about 24 hours after it is going up and stop by to check it out. Or remember to come check it out when part 2 comes out in a couple of weeks.)

Mentioned in my video is also my video about adding a name and passwords to your game.
