I love this. I am now using Ren'Py in schools but I am facing a problem because the visual novels I created sometimes need text input and when used on browsers through mobile devices, the keyboard doesn't automatically pop up so the input can't be keyed in and the game can't continue. Any workarounds? I tried the desktop mode but to no avail either. Could something be changed in the code perhaps?
I had this in my TODO list and suspected this wouldn't work, thanks for testing and bringing it up
We need to have a look at how to make the virtual keyboard appear/disappear as needed on mobile browsers.
Meanwhile, a work-around would be to handle a virtual keyboard within Ren'Py (e.g. with a Screen of letters), or use pre-made choices.
Add a "web" screen variant and remove "pc" (by Renpytom). I expect that we'll add back variants in the future depending on the detected web environment (pc/mobile, screen size...)
Document that ASMJS support was dropped along with the merge in Ren'Py, to focus on (newer) WebAssembly and avoid multiplying targets to test
Do not minify index.html so it can be customized more easily

More of you are pushing Ren'Py games in the browsers, keep up the good work (and let's take Newgrounds by storm )

To avoid confusion I didn't use "android-presplash", instead I used the common "game/presplash.png" (or .jpg).
This is part of the manual instructions at renpy.beuc.net, probably we should start thinking of a dedicated section in the Ren'Py docs .
Sounds good. BTW I tried to export my old RPG, I wanted to try with something more complex than a simple visual novel: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/731979
and I must say it's working really well. I played it for a bit, and seems good
Can anyone show me how to upload the Web game on Newsground or itch.io? I'm not good at programming. My built file have a Html file name Index (Firefox) but I cannot use it to upload on Newsground.
