Transferring Ren'py projects/data to new computer?

#1 Post by sonorousgem »

Hi, my computer is really old now and just blue-screened again, so I may just have to get a new one soon. If I got a new one, how would I (/would it be possible to) transfer my WiPs or any kind of Ren'py data to that computer? I have a Windows now... would it matter if my new computer was a Mac?
This is probably a frequent issue, but I would appreciate getting referred to other threads where this might have been discussed. Thanks in advance!

You should be able to just move the Renpy folder from one computer to the other, projects and all.
As long as you know which folder contains your Renpy installation and your games, there shouldn't be any problems.

The only difference I can think of (from Win -> Mac) would be that you'd run the renpy.sh file instead of the renpy.exe file.
