How to Credit Renpy?
This question in general for anyone who knows the correct answer; but, specifically for Renpy Tom. How to credit Renpy in the game? Please type exactly everything required under Credit in order to have the correct attribution to Renpy. I will just copy and paste (or something similar) the exact answer. Thank you.

Re: How to Credit Renpy?
As long as your game acknowledges "made with ren'py" or "engine:ren'py" or any other variant you can think of to say the renpy software was used, somewhere, even a simple text file outside your game (but distributed with it) , it's considered credited by the MIT license ren'py falls under.

Re: How to Credit Renpy?
In game, I'd suggest something like "Created with Ren'Py".
Legally, you should keep the message on the About screen in your game somewhere, as it talks about the open source Ren'Py is based on.

Re: How to Credit Renpy?
HI PyTom:
Where is this "About" screen in the game? I do not see it in my game. Do you mean I have to create a link to a screen called "About" in the game, and then put the credits there? Thank you.

If you create a new game using the default GUI, there should be an about screen in there by default.

HI Pytom:
Checked my game--"About" or about.rpy is no where in my game--i started my game maybe in 2015 so maybe that's why. Just will put the credits at the end of the game instead....
