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, 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.
