Narrative focused video games development with Ren Py
summary
Built with Python on the Ren'Py engine, the indie project "A Summer with the Shiba Inu" is a solo-developed narrative visual novel that shipped on Windows, Linux, macOS and consoles (Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4) and sells fairly well; Ren'Py uses a human-friendly script lexer plus standard Python so the game implements choice timers, randomised dialogue and branching endings with plain time/random code, custom Python classes for transitions and effects, and supports complex state tracking as seen in games like Long Live the Queen and Doki Doki. open-source and royalty-free Python classes for transitions
