Hi, I just installed Renpy and I want to make a visual novel with it.
I'd followed the basic tutorial and I want to learn the next step.
What I want to learn are:
1. How to make status for the main character and it'll increase/decreased based on the selection player made
2. How to make relationship bar like the other game
3. How to make the screen vibrate when there is fall effect
4. How to make a simple game in it, for example find the differences
5. Is it possible to launch it to Android platform?

I wish anyone could help me with these
Thank you

You'll want to read the Cookbook to see if you can adapt the code for some of those things you listed. As for a "Spot the Difference" type of game, I think you can try using an imagemap. It's probably best to know what you're doing first of all and be able to look at a code and understand it before you do anything beyond basic script.

1. If you are creating a dating sim, the kind in which he player chooses activities for the day, you can use this. Or check out this if you simply want to update stats based on menu choices in a visual novel.
2. Do you want a relationship bar that always appears in the screen, that only appears when there's a relationship change, that you can check in a separate screen? There isn't a simple answer, but you'll find snippets here and there.
3. At least this one has a simple answer. (in Android, you can make the device vibrate)
4. CheeryMoya already gave a good suggestion. Other players implemented from puzzles to RPGs.
5. Yes. There are a few Ren'Py games in the Android Market Google Play.

And consider teaming up with others who already know Ren'Py. Do you have a concept? How well developed is it?
