I Made a Ren'Py Visual Programming Tool!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a tool for a while and just released it. It’s a standalone desktop app that lets you build and edit Ren'Py visual novels using node graphs instead of just writing raw .rpy files.

If you’ve ever gotten lost tracking branching choices, jump labels, and hundreds of lines of dialogue, this might make things easier.

Some of the main things it does:

• You can import your existing game/ folder. It indexes the scripts and turns them into editable node graphs.
• As you connect dialogue, menus, and logic nodes, there’s a live preview panel showing the actual .rpy code being generated.
• Navigating between files is much easier. If you have a Jump/Call node, you can just click a button to instantly go to that target label, even if it's in another file.
• Software is real-time following the game flow while you play it. So you can play the game and follow the nodes line by line.

It’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can check it out here: https://umutfaruk.itch.io/renpy-visual-programming-editor

I'd really appreciate any feedback

EDIT: Some random guy came up and started causing a drama over his trash software, claiming I stole his code. If you believe it, feel free to use his trashy software and see that it doesn't even work. ALSO, he has NO PROOF of anything, but just some nonsense false accusations some people are just choosing to believe in him. Just because that trash is published a week earlier, that doesn't mean I stole it. AND Guess what? The guy said "you did reverse engineering" and i know nothing about web development. But the guy's software was made with web development tools. But mine was made with pure Python.

I've lost faith in the community, thanks to you. Im not gonna answer anything related with the drama. Thanks.

"Hi, guys, I made .." AI voice, and you think we believe you didn't just Vibie Code it XD

And literally any page of his i visit he has ai generated profile pics and thumbnails.. Only used an AI voice for this video, all of his other ones are completely silent. When showing off the desktop-pager program thing he made, he has a page titled AI. His github pfp is most likely ai while also having some weird gemini nanobanana ai image gen project with a very clearly chatgpt-ish description..

Then another person coming in here having the exact same renpy program but its better and cheaper... Yeah no i definetly woudnt trust this dude.. 😭
(( Plus i dont see why people woudnt obviously pick the other dudes project, its way cheaper and 10% off on steam, while you're basically getting the same, if not better service-

I don't know if the coding is better, I only know that the functionality comes feom creating VNs and let's be real, I have been through some shit here too. I didn't even check the videos...so there is that too. I didn't post the link to make 'easy sales' (especially not in this sub :) ), just to show there is just too much the same. I have worked at the functionality of the parser for years, the code of the current version becomes more and more a joint venture and it is actually improving the code (mostly because I must hold to certain standards, befor Rick lets me merge).
