A basic Renpy template for easy modification. I made this project for an easy renpy experience, this base has 6 prepared chapters, 4 prepared characters and is ready for images sound and story so feel free to let your creative side loose. I hope to update this as I improve the base for a fun and easy time making visual novels.
Note: The start button currently does not funtion in this template. I hope to make it work at some point in the future.
