They have a database of over 4,000 visual novels built with this engine, but that barely scratches the surface. If you know where to look there are many thousands more projects built on this engine.
- optionalsquid 2y agoThe Visual Novel Database (VNDB) alone lists nearly 12,000 titles that have used Ren'py: (Warning: This site contains a lot of text and images that are not safe for work. And it records a lot of works that many people will probably find distressing) https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=N1802fwRen_7Py-741&s=26y https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=N1802fwRen_7Py-741&s=26y But as you say, that's barely scratching the surface. You can probably find many more on itch.io and in other communities, that nobody have bothered to add to VNDB
- hiccuphippo 2y agoThat's weird, I don't think those old TypeMoon and Key visual novels used Ren'py. Maybe Ren'py is able to read files made for other engines like NScript or KiriKiri and that's why they show in the search?
- optionalsquid 2y agoFan-ports of VNs to Ren'py are not uncommon, in part because Ren'py supports mobile devices. For example, https://vndb.org/r99153 https://vndb.org/r99153 But you can exclude those by only searching for official releases: https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=N1803fwRen_7Py-741Ng01&s=26y https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=N1803fwRen_7Py-741Ng01&s=26y
