Getting Started

To start using Ren'Py, you'll need to download and install it on your computer. Once installed, you can use the visual editor to create and manage game assets, or use the built-in text editor to write scripts.

Here's an example of a simple Ren'Py script:

label start:
    "Hello, world!"
    "This is my first Ren'Py script."
    "I hope you enjoy it!"
    menu:
        "Yes":
            "Great!"
        "No":
            "Too bad."

This script shows a simple conversation with a menu that allows the user to choose between "Yes" and "No" responses. You can customize this script to create your own custom stories with multiple characters, branching narratives, and more.
