Hi! My name is AliasDeo.
And today I come to ask you, how can I develop a game.
Or rather, I am already doing it, and I want to know where I can ask for advice in case I have doubts about Renpy and development.
I am a programming student, I don't have much experience but I like to learn to program with development engines.

I met the adult games 1 year ago, I liked them and then I wanted to create my own game.
And I started, investigate which engine would be more advisable to do it, I chose Renpy.
I'm a fan of Witch Trainer: Silver Mod, Good Girl Gone Bad, Rogue Like Evolution, Four Elements Trainer, My little Angel, Custom Raid V + and Insexsity.
So more or less they get an idea of what kind of game I want to create.

And here is a sample of what the subject will be.

The concept is simple, it is a trainer where you will be the hero or the villain.
You can corrupt the girls or just fall in love.
For now I only have two protagonists.
Obviously Bulma (Path of power version) an original character.
I want to add 4 girls more which I already have planned but, I will not show them until I have finished the first two.

I am basing history on DB Xenoverse and DB Heroes Universe.
You are a time patroller in this story.
You were on a mission with your partners, but you are suddenly attacked by a mysterious woman.
She tells them to be her slaves and let them live, but they all refuse and try to attack her, your partners are dying one by one and finally it is your turn.
She asks you for being the last one.

- Be my slave or die, you decide.

What will be your answer?
Depending on what you choose, you will change your future.
The girl belongs to the time breakers, but does not follow the same ambitions of the dark empire.
So you have to find out what their real reasons are and what their purpose is to keep you alive.

As I said before, the main one will be Bulma and the other one is a original character, I still develop it.


This will be my first project, I think I will make a patreon account until I have a demo and I can share it.
If you want to give me ideas or if you can help me with advice, I will leave my discord here:

A very important fact, my native language is not English, so if I have some grammar mistakes (Obviously I have them and they are many), I would be very grateful if you would let me know.

Look at the top of this section. There's a "dev help" sub-section, it's what you are looking for.

People post programming questions here all the time, I don't use renpy so I never answer those posts, but for just about any other system (except Godot, I gave up on Godot) I can answer programming questions.

I've been down this route too, and from experience, I would say: Renpy is not fit for anything other than a visual novel. It is deceptivly easy to start in, but it doesn't suit a sandbox/trainer at all. You want a tool with a development environment that follows a WYSIWYG principle and has a massive amount of documentation/help/tutorials for under the hood. Because with a trainer you will be spending a lot of time under the hood, and Renpy just isnt it for that.

You want your workspace to look like this rather than RenPy's endless spaghetti of files where it is only up to you to remember where each of the 10,000 bolt sand nuts go:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So it pretty much leaves either Unity or Godot. With RenPy I could never-ever finish even a simple sandbox project for the life of me, but when I switched to Godot, things started happening at an incredible fast pace: example.

I would strongly recommend not fooling around with RenPy at all and immediately committing to Unity or Godot - those will be $$$-money making investments of your time whether you end up staying indi or joining up a corporate shop. Good luck.
