About Ren'py

Ren'py was created in 2004 by Tom "PyTom" Rothamel. It was developed to provide an accessible platform for creating visual novels and interactive story-based games. Over the years, it evolved with contributions from a growing community, adding features and improving usability to support a wide range of storytelling projects.

Strengths of Ren'py include its ease of use, extensive documentation, and strong community support. Weaknesses involve limited 3D capabilities and a steeper learning curve for non-programmers. Competitors include Unity with its visual novel tools, TyranoBuilder, and Visual Novel Maker.
