Renpy Visual Novel - Tumblr Posts
(fan game) life is strange: lost and found!!!!!
hey guys!
so i've been planning a sort of visual novel game recently which will build on a python game that i made that allows you to go to blackwell and meet a bunch of characters :) it would include a lot of choices and consequences -- a bit like Love is Strange! i love that game but i wanted to avoid something too similar, so here's the general idea for mine:
play as a student in blackwell at the start of the new school year -- everyone else is new, so you can make friends and meet a bunch of people!
the core characters you could meet would be max, chloe, rachel, kate, warren and victoria, though if i finish, i might add more people! :) [such as steph and dana]
the first week is composed of a few different subjects which you get to try out, and work with a partner (of your choice!!!) to complete your lesson tasks
there's a prom coming up in a couple of days! you get to ask a character if they'd like to go with you :)
since it's just me working on it as a fun project, it's a little less ambitious than Love is Strange, haha :D but i hope it'll be fun to play when complete! also your choices totally impact your outcome ^^ the next couple of months are unfortunately horrendously busy but i hope i can find time to work on it, and i'll post updates!
lo and behold, the game so far. it looks like a mess because it is! i'm just using images from google (the text box is from animal crossing) for now to figure out the story haha :D
bonus: a kate marsh sprite! :)
... okay in retrospect i gotta resize the sprites somehow... this girl fills like the whole damn screen
(if anyone is wondering i did change the title since 'welcome to blackwell' is also the name of an official LiS book you can buy haha :))
small update! i haven't had as much time to work on it as i'd like, but i still got somewhere :) i was mostly just trying to compile and draw the sprites for now... i figured out how to do composite images, which is great because i can save each expression and outfit separately so i don't have to add like a hundred combinations for each character.
oh, and here's chloe! this is at the start of the game, but i decided to include her little blue tuft because i love how it looks :D
you'd be surprised at how crazy the code gets. but i learned some things, so it's pretty cool! now i'll start chipping away at the story, and variations of the sprites.

Hello everyone! I would like to know if any well experienced renpy coders would like to help and collaborate on this project I started for my senior thesis in college! The video I'm sharing is the trailer for the visual novel game I'd like to create, but there's a lot more animation going on than a regular visual novel. I started my own Renpy project, but as I am completely new to everything, I'm finding it challenging to carry out my full vision. If anyone would be interested in collaborating as a main coder for my Renpy project please email me at [email protected] or DM me on instagram (@kahelekreations)!! I just don’t check tumblr super often and don’t like how DMs on here don’t come up as any notification anywhere besides tumblr. Also, this trailer was composited to emulate the renpy interface - it was all made in After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro
The Basement
Tetsuo had no idea how he ended up here. Natasha, his long-time friend, had always been kind, but that kindness took a darker turn. One day, he visited her home for what seemed like an innocent chat, but after that, everything became a blur. Now, he finds himself trapped in the basement of her house, where time feels distorted, and reality is slowly slipping away. The only thing more terrifying than the cold, empty room is Natasha herself.
Each passing day is a test of his sanity. Natasha’s unsettling kindness masks something far more sinister, and the mirror she gave him reveals a version of himself that grows weaker, more distorted with every glance. His mind races with questions—what is happening to him? Why is Natasha so determined to keep him locked away?
As the days blend into a surreal nightmare, Tetsuo’s thoughts become his only companion. He begins to question everything—his surroundings, Natasha’s motives, and even his own perception of reality. With each decision he makes, the fine line between truth and madness blurs further. Every moment is filled with tension as Tetsuo grapples with the reality Natasha forces upon him.
Will Tetsuo find the strength to escape before it’s too late, or will Natasha’s grip on him tighten until he can no longer tell what’s real? His mental state teeters on the edge as his perception of the world grows increasingly fragile. The basement itself seems to close in on him, and the only way out might come with a cost he's not prepared to pay.
But sometimes, even escape isn't what it seems. In The Basement, survival is uncertain, and sometimes the real prison is the mind itself. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
In The Basement, you’ll explore the unsettling dynamics between two people trapped in a dangerous situation, where trust and fear are constantly at odds. Tetsuo’s journey is shaped by your decisions, which can either bring him closer to the truth or push him deeper into a waking nightmare. Will you make the right choices, or will Tetsuo lose himself entirely?

Note: This game has a ton of bugs at the moment, since it is a DEMO version. Please have patience, and if there is any problem, contact me here or in Discord (@lexiixyk)
Today I played:
☆ Sweetest Valentine by syllphana !!!
And...
☆ Chapter 0 of Devil in my Heart by gendakiwi !!
I loved playing both of these games,,
Sweetest Valentine's characters were interesting and intriguing and I loved how the true story was subtly hinted at through the dialogue before being revealed by the endings (both good and bad.) I also loved how there were so many endings because each one provided a little bit more info on the characters which kept me playing through all the choice options. I also really loved the art!!!
Devil in my Heart had fun and adorable characters and unique worldbuilding. I can't wait to play the next chapter when it comes out! I WILL BE THERE.
Guys! Guys! Gays! I made a vn!
It's short but I'm still working on it
Check it
