Renpy is pretty intimidating at first, so for beginners I really recommend checking out the tutorial that it comes with and studying / borrowing straight from that code (you can see inside those files, yup! and everything else!)

I’m on/off working on my first game right now, and lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/ is my number one help. I would also recommend that you google exact what you’re looking to do + “lemmasoft” or + “renpy Reddit”. The community is friendlier than you’d think, just simply straight forward.

I think just like OP says, the best thing to start with is small. Character enters a room, has a conversation. If you feel defeated, remember a strong story comes first when it comes to a visual *novel*. Look into old classics, stalk around steam and the Reddit. You’ll be encouraged by your peers :)

All that to say, if you’re scared of coding, start small. Don’t even make choices yet, just a straightforward story. Then go back, add in transitions… so-on-so-forth. You can always go back! (End of this thread lol, sorry!!!)
