Welcome one and all!
My first game was a text adventure I wrote in python when I was 12 years old. It was buggy and I never got my save files working, but it felt pretty awesome to play my own game.
Ever since, I haven't been able to focus and make my own complete game, but when I stumbled on visual novels and Ren'Py it reminded me so much of my first attempts at writing those games a whole decade ago that I was immediately hooked.
Let the games begin.
