What is Ren'Py?

Ren'Py is a visual novel engine – used by thousands of creators from around the world – that helps you use words, images, and sounds to tell interactive stories that run on computers and mobile devices. These can be both visual novels and life simulation games. The easy to learn script language allows anyone to efficiently write large visual novels, while its Python scripting is enough for complex simulation games.
Ren'Py is open source and free for commercial use.

Where does it run?

Android 5.0+ HTML5/Web Assembly (Beta) Linux x86_64/Arm Windows 7+ Mac OS X 10.10+ iOS 11+

Where do I get it?

The latest official release of Ren'Py 8 is 8.2.0 "64bit Sensation", released on January 27, 2024. Ren'Py 8 is recommended for all projects. The nightly fix version of Ren'Py is built every night, and contains fixes to the latest stable version. It isn't tested as well as the official release, but often has fixes that haven't made it through the release process.
Ren'Py 7 is the legacy version of Ren'Py, to support ongoing projects that will be released in 2024. The latest version of Ren'Py 7 is 7.7.0 "32bit Sensation", released on January 27, 2024. Download Ren'Py 7.7.0

I'm beta testing Visual novel games for some points, so if you have a game you aren't sure is perfect, you could ask me for some help! :D You could check out the commission details on my profile. Note that I actually use Ren'py too ha

Hello, my name is HarukaNami and I am here to partner up with a BG artist now. I will recruit other talented people once the other things are planned and some arts are done. Sorry! I cannot offer money since I am broke, but you can gain experience and some add ons to your portfolio~

I found a sprite artist and now I'm looking for a BG artist. I have 4 different bedrooms and a few more BGs being thought of by myself.

Here is the information:

Genre: Sci-Fi, Friendship, Fiction, Angst, Tragedy, Mystery, Romance, Psychological(maybe). 

Choices to see stories: Zion, Ken, Karoline, Ashur.
Unlock Umbra’s route if all story routes are completed.

Summary: Lucia, the main character who lost her memory from a mysterious brutal murder. She woke up in a small headquarter meeting six people who lived in this headquarter as young executors. They kill prisoners who are in death penalties. Lucia will find out who the characters are, why do they kill? Why do they take this occupation? And what troubling past they have that lead them here? Guide Lucia and help gain each character’s trust or else... 

This is a long project, maybe 50,000 words or more.
This story will have sibling bonds, no incest relationship. 
Free game~
Three bad endings or more XD.
One true ending

Please give me a Gmail: harukanami9900@gmail.com or a PM in Lemmasoft: HarukaNami, I'm not active on this website. Thank you all!

It doesn't work with Chrome OS. Only linux, windows, and Mac. You can export games to android and IOS, but not the ren'py program, as far as I know of.
