The Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine is an open source software engine which facilitates the creation of visual novels, a form of computer-mediated storytelling. Unlike other popular visual novel engines such as NScripter, Ren'Py has proved attractive to English-Language hobbyists; over a hundred games [ [http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Ren'Py_Games List of Ren'Py games] ] use the Ren'Py engine, nearly all in English.

Features

Ren'Py supports nearly all features that a visual novel might reasonably be expected to have, including branching stories, saving and loading of games, rollback to previous points in the story, a variety of scene transitions and so on. Ren'Py scripts have a screenplay-like syntax, and can additionally include blocks of Python code to allow advanced users to add new features of their own. Additionally, tools are included in the engine distribution to obfuscate scripts and archive game assets to mitigate copyright infringement.

Ren'Py is built on Python and PyGame, and is officially supported on Windows, recent versions of Mac OS X and Linux, and is included as part of the Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions.
