RPG Maker or Ren'Py?

[Aezka]

Hey all,

I've been debating on which one of these engines to use for a couple of weeks now and I'd like some insight. I'm leaning towards making a visual novel game, with no walking, no sprites, etc. This leads me to believe that Ren'Py would make more sense. On the other hand, I have years of experience using the RPG Maker engines (aside from the coding language used).

With that said, would it still be more beneficial to learn Ren'Py and use it for a visual novel type game? Also if I do use Ren'Py, are there scripts/plugins that add new functionality like a quest log for example?

Thank you!

I'm no expert in this but i prefer renpy for VN games than rpgm. But it still depends on u whatever makes u feel comfortable engine to use.

Ren'Py is what i usually prefer as i can easily use it with my android device, but in the end its your preference as you are going to make the game.
