Introducing Ren'Py

Most, if not all, indie VNs that are scattered through out the world wide web are programmed through a software called Ren'Py (you can download it here) . As a novice programmer, Ren'Py is pretty easy to understand. Sure it's a little confusing on loops but aren't all programming languages like that at first? The more complex you want your game, the more complicated it gets but it will be all worth it in the end.

Now let's start! 

Depending on which version you get, the downloaded package already has a tutorial included. It pretty much didn't help me when I launched the project, so I just went to see the scripts and started from there. (Note: if you have zero background in programming, here's a good site to get you started.)

Hierofania is a really good first attempt of a visual novel by Ludeshka.
