It's not much, but it's the first visual output from the port of renpy.pygame (and eventually, all of Ren'Py) to SDL3.

Doesn't that already exist as:

define screenswing = { "screens" : swing }

?

Had dehydration brain fog me for a bit, cause by an interaction between medicines. It's good to have gotten that taken care of and be back to developing on all cylinders.

This month's Ren'Py article is up, covering releases of Ren'Py and the VS Code extension, future plans, and expanding speech bubbles.

Which one is config.image_dictionaries again?

I've also updated the Ren'Py Language (Official) Visual Studio Code extension to version 805.1.0, which updates the extension to more closely match Ren'Py 8.5.

Just bumped the Ren'Py 8.5 prerelase up to 8.5.0.25110906, with several more fixes in it.

(And other reasons, of course!)

Distribution of Rhadamanthys Malware Disguised as a Game Developed with Ren'Py - ASEC Distribution of Rhadamanthys Malware Disguised as a Game Developed with Ren'Py ASEC

asec.ahnlab.com/en/9... has more information.

I don't really think there's much to do about this - they could just as easily have distributed something claiming to be a game without the game. I hope everyone is aware that pirating software is a problem for security reasons.
2/3

I haven't verified it myself, but it looks like there is a report of malware being distributed inside pirated versions of games made using Ren'Py.

All downloadable games are only secure if you trust the creators and the sites you get them from.

Just posted the new article to the Ren'Py Patreon, talking what's coming in Ren'Py 8.5.

Visited a nearby federal courthouse to see a museum there, and had the lovely experience of helping a family of new Americans take a group photo together.

(Public pic zoomed in to protect their privacy.)

There's still a bit to do - right now it's leaking memory - but it's nice to see it working for the first time.

My project for the last week has been integrating Live2D Cubism SDK for Web with Ren'Py's web platform support. I've had some success, you can see the first working version at:

A quick question - is anyone playing Ren'Py games on a gsync-enabled monitor? If so, are you having any problems?

The name visual novel is a clue that literary and artistic merit is an aspiration of the medium. It's pretty rare to get both in one package - part of what drew me to VNs in the first place.

Just added that config variable. (It'll be in 8.5.)

Ren'Py 8.5 is planned for late this year.
2/2

First new feature of Ren'Py 8.5 is config.image_directories, which lets you have multiple image directories. For example:

define config.image_directories = [ "dlcimages", "images" ]

would let you have dlc images that have priority over non-dlc images.

The new Patreon article is up. It goes over July's work - including the two big releases. It also has a new displayable that lets you display taps on the screen.
