Sooo… does anyone have resources for learning ren’py? Especially around dating sims similar to 00s newgrounds flash games, or otome. Mostly looking to include events, a calendar system, and mini-games. :) I am looking to learn and not afraid of code!
At the moment, I’ve been stalking the renpy cookbook forums and around reddit….
I’m thinking about really cranking down, so the game will probably be for sale especially because I plan for it to include horror content and nsfw…. I don’t want to step on toes and use other peoples code without permission, but I’m not too sure/familiar with people saying “free to use” and other templates :0
Running themes would be things like grief, intrusive thoughts, isolation / agoraphobia, sex and violence, running out of time vs having too much, doppelgängers, “two things can be true”, Madonna and the Whore complex…. Blah blah blah.
It’s kinda heavy, but I want the heart of it to be recovery. You can choose to hold onto the pain and hole up into madness and isolation, or grieve. If you try to do both… well, it could get messy. But could be fun :) haha…
I actually might make this oc project a thing so can’t post.. too much context… but TLDR, it’s a horror dating sim with two options: your violent high school girlfriend who happens to live next door, and your emotionally distant boss.
Both girls are in love with you, Billy, the new repairman. Something’s weird about this rundown apartment, though… and something’s weirder about your neighbors down the hall.
Inspirations: Silent Hill 4: The Room, Goodnight Punpun, The Shining, The Tenant (1976), Saya no Uta, Cool Air by H.P Lovecraft, Fight Club (1999), newgrounds dating sims…..
