If you've ever wanted a definitive Ren'Py screens tutorial that starts from zero, I'm going to make you regret that /jk

Part 1-3 are already out. This is going to take a while...

THANK YOU to everyone who played, enjoyed, rated, and/or mulled over the lore of Tokidoki Tactical Squad so far! So excited our game could be in the top 25 fan ratings on itch, with judge honorable mention, and two award nominations! ✨ #spooktoberVNjam #gamedev #yuriVN
A cute old school anime girl with minotaur horns holds a firearm. Behind her is a large "THANK YOU for Playing" graphic. Small colourful chibis of her animal friends drape over her shoulder, sit on her arm, and rest beside her leg.

This is truly a "fine, I'll do it myself" moment".

Here's an easy audio mixing guide for Ren'Py dummies (me).

It's so retro anime aesthetic that it makes life in a military base amid a zombie apocalypse look comfy.

So did you know you can just straight-up record ATL using Photo Mode in Ren'Py?

No, seriously it's that easy.

If you've ever wanted to use the camera but thought it was too complicated then now is your chance.

Let ME help YOU market YOUR #renpy #visualnovel.

Out of any other genre, don't you think visual novels (which are about 50% visual) should have a Photo Mode?!

Are you saying your game wouldn't be instantly better in every way by adding Photo Mode to it? (Do it.)
