[Yeah, I know, I'm grumpy again]
Globally speaking, there's nothing in this thread that can't already be done relatively easily by Ren'Py, even the phone system, if you take the time to read the documentation. And half of what is asked is already possible with less than 5 lines added to the right screen ; when then aren't natively available without changes.
Those errors happen because there's coders who don't care about what the documentation say regarding the way to declare a variable. They'll not care more with this new engine than they are doing with Ren'Py.
Practically, the number of step back is limited by the needed memory to store each one of them.
If yes, you can guaranty that the loops will be completed:
And all values in an ATL code can be variables (if my memory don't betray me, they can also be returned by a callable).
And if you meant video animations, it's also possible with a simple hard pause (it's bad).

H key.This already exist in Ren'Py. A bit complex for people with few coding knowledge, but both the gallery functionality and the replay system exist and are really efficient.
Three lines in the "choice" screen, and the use of menu attributes.
Python:
screen choice(items):
style_prefix "choice"
vbox:
for i in items:
# <---
if store.walkThroughIsOn:
textbutton ( i.caption if not "hint" in i.kwargs else i.caption + " [{color=#0F0}" + i.kwargs["hint"] + "{/color}]" ) action i.action
else:
# --->
textbutton i.caption action i.action
label whatever:
menu:
"do this"( hint="This consequence" ):
[...]
"do that"( hint="That consequence" ):
[...]It's not "more complex", it's impossible.
Those errors happen because there's coders who don't care about what the documentation say regarding the way to declare a variable. They'll not care more with this new engine than they are doing with Ren'Py.
You can already rename save pages in Ren'Py ; click on the "page x" in top of the screen. As for naming the save files, it's natively supported. It's just that the default interface do not include the five/six lines needed to enter the name of the save.
In Ren'Py itself, doing what you want would need three lines and the change of two values.
Python:
screen file_slots(title):
[...]
# <---
viewport:
scrollbar "vertical"
style "whatever you want"
# --->
# Change those values
grid gui.file_slot_cols gui.file_slot_rows:
[...]Excuse-me, you want to make a game engine better than Ren'Py, and you don't know the most used and praised feature that Ren'Py offer ? The rollback is the possibility to revert the game to its previous state, step by step, technically up to an unlimited number of past interactions. What mean that, technically, you can finish the game, then play it backward and have the exact expected game state corresponding to the moment you now are in the game.
Practically, the number of step back is limited by the needed memory to store each one of them.
Ren'Py have QWORD number of save pages that, once the interface tweaked to include a viewport (as shown above) can have QWORD number of save slots. I don't know what he meant by "unlimited", but even with the full default configuration Ren'Py offer billions of save slots to the players.
You mean ATL animation ?
If yes, you can guaranty that the loops will be completed:
Python:
image myAnim:
"image 1"
pause 0.1
block:
"image 2"
pause 0.1
"image 3"
pause 0.1
repeat 3
block:
"image 4"
pause 0.1
"image 5"
pause 0.1
repeat 2
function endMe
init python:
def endMe( trans, st, at ):
store.animationFinished = True
return None
screen showAnim( animName ):
timer 0.01 repeat True action If( store.animationFinished, [ SetVariable( "animationFinished", False ), Return() ], NullAction() )
add animName
label whatever:
call screen showAnim( myAnim )And if you meant video animations, it's also possible with a simple hard pause (it's bad).
This should do it:
Python:
# shift + tab to change betwee unseen text to seen only.
screen unseenSkip():
key "shift_K_TAB" action Preference("skip", "toggle")
if store._preferences.skip_unseen:
text "unseen" xalign 1.0 yalign 0.0
init 10 python:
config.overlay_screens.append( "unseenSkip" )
