I wish someone would port this - and all Palmer's games - to Ren'py.

and wrong, lj uses own engine which is mix-up of unity etc.
Whatever the engine he used, there is no 'renpy' directory, no 'lib' directory (for python), and not even a 'game' directory in any of the downloads. So I don't know how anyone could do anything with this without direct access to the developer's original work. Since he died, access to that work may not even be possible.

his old team is working still on the game
Seriously? On THIS game? I would think that if anything they would be working on Double Homework, not this Completed game.
they are working on shale hill secrets (and it's engine is bit closer to renpy than dfd's engine) and lj devs could port this to renpy if they wanted but question is why? better spend that time making new content/new games.

Well, if they don't port it to Ren'Py, I won't be playing it. [I'm sure that will force their hand! :ROFLMAO:] I have too many great games that I'm NOT getting to play, to mess with one with a proprietary engine.

I've gotten a lot more selective since I played this game, and I still can't catch up.

A game comprises story, dialogue, renders and coding. The first three exist and are accessible (in the worst case by playing the game). It should be possible to do the coding from scratch. Whether or not someone wants to put in the work is the question.

Yep, simple-dimple. I leave the task in your capable hands.

Can you get it done by Christmas?
