Announcement

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.3.1. This is a patch release to Ren'Py 7.3, mostly intended to fix bugs and address issues that people have reported. As some of the bugs have significant performance and correctness impact, everyone who upgraded to Ren'Py 7.3.0 should move on to this version.

Ren'Py 7.3.1 also adds a few minor new features.

Ren'Py 7.3 is the first release of Ren'Py with support for running on the web platform, inside a web browser supporting HTML 5, Web Assembly, and WebGL. Right now, this support is in beta, as it's limited by the capabilities of the web platform itself, but it's suitable for making web demos of Ren'Py games.

In addition to that, this release adds many new features to Ren'Py. These include:

  • Many improvements to creator-defined statements, allowing the parsing of Ren'Py statements and block, the catching of errors, and the ability to execute a second function after Ren'Py in the body of a statement has finished.
  • Screen language improvements, like the ability to capture screen language displayables into a variable and to use a property to determine if a screen is sensitive to input.
  • Text improvements, with self-closing text tags and the ability to control the capitalization of interpolated text.
  • Mobile platforms now support non-rectangular focus masks, and 64-bit Android is supported in time for the Google Play deadline.
  • There is a new Turkish translation of the launcher and Spanish translation of the tutorial game, while several of the other translations have been updated.

There are also a number of other changes, so check out the changelog for all of what's new.

Editor Downloads

When first asked to edit a file, the Ren'Py launcher will prompt you to download and install an editor. As this may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, the editors can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the editor archive to the Ren'Py directory.

Atom (Windows): renpy-7.3.1-atom-windows.zip
Atom (Mac): renpy-7.3.1-atom-mac.zip
Atom (Linux): renpy-7.3.1-atom-linux.tar.bz2
Editra (Windows): renpy-7.3.1-editra-windows.zip
Editra (Mac): renpy-7.3.1-editra-mac.zip

Android and iOS Support

When building Android packages, iOS packages, or web distributions, Ren'Py will prompt you to download RAPT (Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool), Renios (Ren'Py iOS Support), or Renpyweb (Web Platform Support). As these downloads may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, these packages can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the archive to the Ren'Py directory. (Place the "rapt", "renios", or "web" directory into the "renpy-7.3.1" directory.)
