Heya, folks. I know this blog has a few followers who are active in the interactive fiction community, so I thought this might be of interest: Nami (author of Her Tears Were My Light, which I’m sure you’ve seen me gush about some time or other) has just published a framework for creating basic RPG-style games in ren’py, including drop-in implementations of a persistent inventory, item shops, simple crafting mechanics, and a 1v1 battle system. Free for use, even in commercial projects, too – check it out!
