You really don't.you have to do them
Sure, if you feel that way, then I guess that's that.So, that's not optional imo.
I'm not going to not make mini game, because they're fun to make. If people don't want to play them, then they can do other stuff.
This is not strictly true. I'm just not very good at pygame or Python, so results may vary. I do want to learn and be better though, so in order to do that, I make stuff.Renpy games do not work well with mini-games
