Greetings ^_^

Hello everyone,

I just recently discovered Ren'Py and I think it says something about the attractiveness and approachability of the demo/tutorial that someone with zero programming experience - like me - is tempted to try his hand at it.

That being said I've started on a story already (which might be a bit ambitous really, but oh well) but I wanted to give a proper greeting before talking about it in the game maker subforum. I'm a bit more experienced with writing than programming, so if anyone wants to sample prose works which I have done, just head over to http://www.fanfiction.net/u/67034/. My handle there is endergabriel.

Well, here's hoping I can be productive. For now I'd just like to say thank you for the wonderful program, and all the good advice floating around in the forums which I will doggedly try to leech ^_^

Welcome!
In addition to the forums, there's a lot of info on game making here as well: http://www.renaigames.net/dev.html
Ren'Py tutorials and other practical things. Good luck with your project and have fun making it.

Oooh someone else from ff.net. I've been a member there for quite awhile now though I've only submitted two fics. (just staying true to my nature of lurking everywhere... and I mean everywhere hehe.)

Zero programming experience worked just fine for ren'py for me. Good luck on whatever you plan on working on.

Hi Nafai, and I hope you don't mind if I take this opprotunity to introduce myself to the rest of the forum.

I have been into anime in general for about 30 years, but I really got into it about 10 years ago. It was that same time that I discovered ren'ai games (or bishojo games). Since then, I have always been on the look out on games with anime style art. It has not been easy since I don't care for graphic sex, and it quickly got to the point that the games were like politicians. Fortunately, recently there have been more non-H titles with the past couple of years, so those as well as the amateur ones you guys are doing.

So, lets go for it.

Welcome aboard!

I've been a gamer for...lessee, when did the Atari 2600 come out? and I think from that from that, my interest in anime was born. I've been interested in anime for about 16 years now. I agree with you, on the subject of graphic sex. I don't mind if it's implied, or if it's ONLY at the end (Season of the Sakura) but making a "game" that is essentially just a bunch of sex scenes...I'll pass on.

Zero programming experience and Ren'Py tutorial has you wanting to try it? Think I'll give it a try...

And, loudcloudx, you post too much here to be a *lurker*...
