Announcement

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.1.0. This release fixes issues with Ren'Py 7.0.0, and also includes a few new features:

  • Android support has been rewritten to use the modern gradle-based build system. This allows Android apps created using Ren'Py to be posted in the Google Play store again. This also improves them in other ways, like making the app smaller by splitting out support for different platforms.
  • There is a new "monologue mode", which allows you to use triple-quoted strings to create say statements that contain multiple lines of dialogue. As part of this, the new {clear} text tag allows the equivalent of nvl clear to be embedded in dialogue.
  • The new _quit_slot variable lets you specify a save slot that the game is saved to when the user quits.
  • The updater (built into the launcher) has been updated to prompt for the channel to update to on each use, preventing creators from updated to an unexpected prerelease or nightly build.

As usual, check the changelog for a complete list of changes.

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-7.1.0-atom-windows.zip
Atom (Mac): renpy-7.1.0-atom-mac.zip
Atom (Linux): renpy-7.1.0-atom-linux.tar.bz2
Editra (Windows): renpy-7.1.0-editra-windows.zip
Editra (Mac): renpy-7.1.0-editra-mac.zip
Editra (Linux): renpy-7.1.0-editra-linux.tar.bz2
jEdit: renpy-7.1.0-jedit.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-7.1.0" directory.)

Android Support (RAPT): renpy-7.1.0-rapt.zip
iOS Support (Renios): renpy-7.1.0-renios.zip
