So after losing aIl my skins on a all or nothing bet on the lounge I decided to look on the Interweb for some free software to mess around with when I stumbled on the visual novel maker ren py. Turns out the people who made katawa shoujo used it and its pretty powerful engine to use thats also freeee :D. What sucks is that the langunge it uses is python and i spent like two months trying to learn c++ for unreal (which is also free :D) Anywho i was wondering If anyone else is using the engine since its simlar to what happens here.

Yeah, I love ren'py.  XD  If I had any real artistic ability I'd use it all the time.

Not just katawa shoujo- pretty much every visual novel these days uses it.

It's free, but you can use it to make freeware or commercial games.

Wait, does that mean you actually use it or just that you think it'd be fun to be able to use?

1) you care which because?

2) I have actually used it, but since I can't art, what I have are 1/2 finished sound & story-only.

Curious. I think a CYS Ren'Py project could be good. Sadly artists seem to be the chokepoint for independant VNs. Cool that you can make the sounds though.
