Facebook and Python
Hey I was looking around on Facebook Developers and I found out that their apps can be written in Python. So I was just wondering since Ren Py' is written in Python could it be possible to implement Visual Novel Games on Facebook? One advantage is that those who plan to sell their games could use this like to show a demo of their game instead of having them have to download a demo game. Just a random question that could help expand the game engine capabilities.
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

The answer is no - or at least, not anytime soon. Ren'Py is designed to run on a local computer, and not in a web browser. While it would be possible to come up with a visual novel engine designed to run in a web browser (and people have done this), there are a lot of compromises that have to be made to do so.
