Re: renpy.save() lag problem

The process will need time to save to file, so that is the reason why there is a lag. It will block until the write is finished. For autosave, this is done on separate thread so there is much less lag on powerful devices. To force autosave, you can use renpy.loadsave.force_autosave(True) This will n...

Re: Ren'Py homebrew port to Nintendo Switch

The project is now archived.

Since Switchroot Android has gotten a lot better over the past couple of months, please use it instead.

Re: Ren'Py homebrew port to Nintendo Switch

I have automated the build system using Github Actions, so it should be much, much easier to build.

Future plans in the near term:
Add "The Question" to automatic build system
Add Ren'Py Laucher integration

Re: Manually make changes to renpy-build without updating

Steam dropped support for Windows XP and macOS 10.10 a while back, so I don't think you need to worry about that.

Re: Ren'Py homebrew port to Nintendo Switch

Hi there, I am super interested in porting some Renpy games to the switch for fun. I have been trying to follow your documentation for building but am getting a bit lost. I'm currently stuck on trying to patch cpython. Do you know any patching tools for Windows? I saw on github that you were wantin...

Re: Ren'Py homebrew port to Nintendo Switch

Regarding future versions of this port: First off, build automation is going to be implemented first. This should make it so even through I changed systems, I can still build the project. This also means that it should be easier for others to contribute. After that is done, I plan to release two bui...

Re: Reduce Renpy game loading time on android

I would suggest splitting up the .rpy file. That will allow smaller "compilation units" so it will reduce the loading time. Also, I would suggest reducing duplicated code using features such as Creator-Defined Statements. Other than that, not too sure. One of the possible reasons for long ...

Re: Ren'Py vs KAG/KAGEX

I like KiriKiri W/KAG and Onscripter because they run very smoothly. Renpy still feels a little clunky and slow. Are you sure about that? Ren'Py has text layout caching and async/predictive image loading, while Kirikiri and ONScripter does not. You can check out how fast it goes by holding down the...

Hey! Any luck with adding this option?

Re: Antivirus and 7.4.1 x32 files

I checked "renpy-32.exe" from 7.4.1 and it shows as 1 engine detected the file. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a4b169016d7020f9d7a6bdb37d584555ea6da6ceea6b03af44676f79faa571e1/detection It seems like "BehavesLike.Win32.Generic.dc" is behavior relating to trojan horse. Howeve...
