e "As someone who has played more than a few visual novels, there are many features that I expect all games to have."
|
|
|
|
e "Features like saving, loading, changing preferences, and so on."
|
|
|
|
e "One of the nice things about Ren'Py is that the engine provides many of these features for you. You can spend your time creating your game, and let us provide these things."
|
|
|
|
e "While you're in the game, you can access the game menu by right clicking or hitting the escape key."
|
|
|
|
e "You can also access the game menu through some of the quick menu buttons at the bottom of this screen."

|
|
|
|
e "Unlike other engines, Ren'Py doesn't limit the number of save slots that you can use. You can keep hitting next until you reach the page you want."
|
|
|
|
e "Clicking on the title of the page allows you to start typing to change the page name."
|
|
|
|
e "The load screen looks quite similar to the save screen, and lets you load a game from a save slot."
|
|
|
|
e "It also lets you load one of the auto-saves that Ren'Py makes for you."

|
|
e "When I'm liking a visual novel, I want to see all the endings. Ren'Py's skip function lets me easily do this, by skipping text that I've already seen."
|
|
|
|
e "I can skip a few lines by holding down Control, or I can toggle skip mode by clicking the skip button at the bottom of the screen."
|
|
|
|
e "By default, we only skip read text, so this won't do anything the first time through the game."
|
|
|
|
e "Clicking the auto button toggles auto-forward mode, which makes the game advance without you clicking."
|
|
|

e "The Q.Save and Q.Load buttons provide a single-click way to make a save, and a fast way to load that save again."
