+# renrs
+
+*(Work in progress 🚧)*
+
+renrs (name subject to change) is a visual novel and dialog engine written in Rust. It is fully compatible with [Ren'Py language `.rpy` scripts](https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/language_basics.html), letting you migrate easily. The core engine is logic only, so you are free to integrate it into whatever front-end framework or game engine you like. If you are creating a simple visual novel with no complex gameplay elements, you can use renrs's official GUI to have an all-in-one engine solution. If you want to use renrs as a dialog system in a full game engine, you can use renrs's official Godot integration.
