Hi, I'm very new and I want to make a ren'ai game. I really don;t understand Ren'Py, people are saying it's a program for making games, all I can find is the games it came with. If that's not the case, where can I find a script I can edit to my needs?

get the engine files (which comes with a "tutorial"/demo "game" with selfdocumenting code, the executable, and other files that I don't know what they do but they're nessisary to run.)

the .rpy files in the "game" subdirectory is what you want to edit. either open it up with Notepad or use PyTom's edited version of SciTE in renpy mode to edit it (for the latter, associate SciTE with the files so you can just double-click on them)

that should get you started, and the comments PyTom left in the tutorial script (in the "Game" subdir) should help a lot. leave more messages here if you still need help getting started.

another note: if you use a different subdir for your game, make a copy of the exe "Run_game.exe" but change the "game" to match your game's subdir.
