Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any possible way to host a Ren'Py game on a site like Gamejolt(http://gamejolt.com/) and play it in browser like an HTML or Unity game? Would I have to use a template engine such as Jinja2, mako, Cog, or Cheetah to embed python script in HTML or could I port to Unity, somehow and create a distribution? I am happy enough with them downloading the distribution that Ren'Py can make but I thought I can gain more audience and views by them playing in browser. Any suggestions would greatly help.

Ren'Py compiles to linux, mac, windows and android.
You might be able to have it parse your game into python, I'm not sure.
If you have a way of embedding python & pygame into HTML I suppose you have a chance..
..in any case, you're probably on your own, I haven't heard of anyone succeeding in this before.

Re: Running Ren'Py in a browser
I really wish there was an easy way of porting Ren'Py games into Unity. *sigh*
I remember a long-long time ago there was a talk about making Ren'Py work in browser but that kind of got abandoned? I'm not sure.
However there are a lot of alternatives to Ren'Py these days, there's even a way to make a visual novel in tumblr!

Re: Running Ren'Py in a browser
Thanks for replying guys
@fluxus: I was thinking about parsing the Ren'Py game into hard python and wrap it using a template engine, but that requires direct access to the hosting website, which I do not have. so I have to look more into that then.
@Alera: I really wish the Unity port was an option, but I guess we have to wait for that or figure out something ourselves somehow. Maybe Iron Python could be a solution idk
