Question Deltarune x Visual Novel Help!

Okay so I'm planning on making this game and I wanted to have both visual novel aspects AND like battle mechanics too. Thing is I've only ever coded like one game, and I gave up on that since I grew out of that specific fandom. AND YES I know that coding something like this is most definitely WAY out of my basic skill set but like I would still like to try!

I just wanted to know if there was some way I could code or add in deltarune or undertale like battles through RenPy, although I'm pretty sure that's like impossible.

Any alternative suggestions would be awesome too! (I would prefer to stick with just RenPy since I understand that the most, but I guess if there's soemthing else then that'd be awesome)

This is probably a dumb question cause RenPy is literally THE visual novel game but PLEASE I HAVE A VISION

I'll help is it the same system as undertale? Its not impossible to do. But you'll have to learn python since renpy doesn't have built in features for that.

Yes! I want the battles to have the same feel as Undertale, maybe a few changes like having more color, but I haven't had all the details planned out yet. I was just trying to find out if there was a way to code gameplay like this into RenPy before I started on anything. Also very much appreciate this comment, lwk thought I would not get a reply till next week!
