This is WILD. Thank you so much for making these, I always work best with this format but it's difficult to find videos with consistent quality about this kind of stuff. Up-to-date Renpy documentation is hard to come by. Keep up the good work!

[Katy]

This is so comprehensive, thank you, Vimi!

[arindika]

Your videos are honestly perfect. Perfect tutorial packages with emphasis on a specific subject, and they are always super fun and interesting. You're great! Thank you for making these YouTube videos.

I'm so grateful for all you do and all your videos! I wouldn't even know where to start without these wonderful tutorials and videos you make! I really appreciate how interesting you make these videos and how clear and concise you are <3 Please keep making them especially for Ren'Py and game writing as I have found these videos to be a fountain of knowledge!

I just started ren'py a few months ago. I just found your channel this week, and your videos have been SO helpful to me. especially how you explain thing in plain English. the documentation can get SO complicated to read and understand, sometimes. Personally, I'd LOVE it if you could please do a video about how to set up a basic, stacking item inventory, as well as how to have your VN character both pick up items, give them to another character (gifts for the character the reader is romancing, for example), and how to have your main character use the items (such as stat buffering items, heal potions, etc.) that would be REALLY helpful to many of us, I'm sure, and I haven't found a good tutorial on how to build an inventory system yet, or a bad one on how to do it, for that matter. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!

For anyone else who found this and it wouldn't work, you have to remove the align (1, 1) line and make the 2 instances of xalign=1.' from action_screens. Line 134. Then you have to add this to the top of your script file (and remove before you release the game): 'define config.developer = True'
