Why Ren'Py?<br /><br />Ren'Py is a free and cross platform engine for digital storytelling. It makes it easy to combine words, images, and sounds to create visual novels and life simulation games.<br /><br />Visual novels are computer-based stories that are told through words, images, sounds, and music. Many visual novels also present the player with menu choices that allow the player to control how the story is told.<br /><br />Ren'Py's script language makes it easy to write visual novels, and other writing-heavy games. It's easy to learn, and scales well to the largest projects. Even without customization, Ren'Py provides the features players have come to expect from their visual novels.<br /><br />Life Simulation games, such as management and dating sims, are more interactive games that mix story with gameplay. Ren'Py's screen language allows one to create complex interfaces, while its support for the Python scripting language makes allows for complex game logic, if that's what your project requires.<br />Free and Open Source<br />Summer Session is one of many commercial games made with Ren'Py.<br /><br />Ren'Py is free to use with commercial and non-commercial games. There is no need to pay a fee to us or anyone else1 to distribute your Ren'Py game. Ren'Py has already been used with a half-dozen commercial games, and more are on the way.<br /><br />Ren'Py doesn't tie your work to a particular company, web service, or business model. Ren'Py games have been digitally downloaded millions of times, can be moved on USB drives, and have been burned to CD and sold at conventions from Texas to Tokyo. We think it's important the maker can choose how his or her work is distributed.<br /><br />Ren'Py is open source, which means that everyone is allowed to change it, in order to fix bugs or add features. Of course, with a record of over six years of improvements, it likely won't be necessary --- but the option is there if your project needs it.
