It's kind of scary, isn't it? (Although there are of courfse still some bugs.)Certainly! Ren'Py is a popular visual novel engine, and I can help you get started with a simple scene using Ren'Py script. In this snippet, we'll set the stage for a high school romance story with the introduction of a new boy in the class during spring. Please note that this is just a basic example, and you can build upon and customize it based on your specific storyline and characters.
Setting up the Characters:
First, you need to define your characters. In your game directory, create a file named characters.rpy:
renpy
init python:
define eileen = Character('Eileen')
define new_boy = Character('New Boy')
Creating the Opening Scene:
Now, create an opening scene in a file named script.rpy:
renpy
label start:
scene bg_classroom_spring
show eileen happy at left
e "Ah, spring is finally here."
show new_boy normal at right
n "And so is the new boy."
e "I wonder what he's like."
show new_boy smile
n "His name is..."
$ player_name = renpy.input("What's his name?")
e "Ah, it's [player_name]."
e "He's just transferred to our class."
show new_boy happy
n "He seems friendly, with a warm smile."
e "Little did I know, my world was about to change."
jump classroom_scene # You can create a label for the next scene
Creating the Classroom Scene:
In the same script.rpy file, add the following:
renpy
label classroom_scene:
scene bg_classroom_day
show eileen normal at left
show new_boy normal at right
e "As [player_name] takes a seat, our eyes meet for a brief moment."
show eileen blush
e "Why does my heart race when he looks at me?"
show new_boy smile
n "[player_name], right?"
e "I nod, feeling a blush creeping up my cheeks."
show eileen normal
e "What will this new chapter bring?"
jump start_of_romance # You can create a label for the next part of the story
This is a very basic starting point, and you can expand and customize it based on your story's needs. Ren'Py has extensive documentation that can guide you through more advanced features and customization options.
