I found these less playable than the rpgm games they are supposed to replace.
I like how Anna and Lily play in the Renpy format. Some choices, but most all paths left open.
Thanks for the feedback.
My original intent with this tool was to do the minimum necessary to add some of the conveniences of RenPy to RPGM games:
* no waiting for the character to walk to the right place
* max text speed all the time
* save anywhere
The goal was for the tool to do most of the work getting the game to show up at all in RenPy, and then maybe each game could have little customizations on top of it to make it more fun to play.
In the years since rpgm2renpy was released, more and more people have taken on the task of hand-porting RPGM games to RenPy so they feel like a straight choice-based VN. Hand-ported games are always going to feel better because the port author can 100% control the experience and skip the parts that they don't like.
Personally, I prefer my games to have some sort of gameplay in them, so if I have to click back and forth between a couple of locations before the story advances that's fine with me. But everyone has different tolerances for that kind of stuff.
I recognize that the shipped ports are pretty ugly to look at in some cases. Incest Story 2 in particular has very large maps that are annoying to navigate if you don't already know the game, but in fairness they were annoying in the original too. If I had a lot of time, I would add a layer on top of what's in the current port that would allow you to skip to all the important locations without pixel-hunting on the map. But I don't have a lot of time.
So what I have now is a tool that plays certain RPGM games in a way that *I* prefer to the originals, but where they would take a lot more work to polish so the general audience would like them. Some people will never like them if they retain grindy mechanics.
I didn't really intend for the releases to escape the Mods forum, they sorta got promoted to the Games forum by the site moderators. I think their being in the Games forum gives people high expectations about how polished the port is, especially now that there are so many games that are hand-ported. It also means I'll be seeing requests for Android ports for the rest of my life.
