Special Request on Renpy.
Honourable patrons!
I have been thinking a lot about this subject. As a player, I prefer well made RPG games over Renpy. However, I know that there are a lot of people out there that prefer Renpy games. I wrote before that this game will be in RPGM and the next may be in Renpy as well.
But what if?
During times when I have to wait for renders to finish, I had been playing with Renpy. What if I make a version of the game in Renpy too? Actually, I have made a decision. I can not say it will be v0.2. Most likely that will be game version 0.3.
The main game will stay RPGM!
I have to take into account some restrictions, however. Renders I made before for v0.1 were for RPGM and therefore they are smaller. I will have to force Renpy resolution to 1280x720 pixels, without a full-screen option. Re-rendering to bigger images would throw me back to 4-5 months, so I am not even considering it. Also, I have to figure out how to present sidequests in Renpy so that they would not be so obvious. In RPGM it is easier to hide them under random people or places you have to find on a map. But I will come up with something. Also, I have to adopt some renders, something will have to be re-rendered anyway and there are few things I have to clear out for me before I start. Now I am in the stage of scouting through the terra incognita.
My estimate is that Renpy would add about a week to each Game Update.
What do you think about it? Please leave your thoughts in comments below!

Nemiegs.
