It would be acceptable if it was like colors and fonts only, and not one-time use variables
Maybe slightly less intimidating to go into gui.rpy to change some values over looking at the screen itself but still... maybe if every single screen wasn't in a single file that wouldn't be an issue ๐

Layered Image Visual Editor in Ren'Py by CuteShadow
Script sprite expressions visually. No more memorising attributes!
MVNA jam submission 2/2
This is now Version 3 of this idea. This one is especially for the sprites where all the different parts of the face are separated.
V3 integrates into the Interactive Director which means no loading times. Instant script edits. Speeeeeed.

Lazy Sprite Positioner in Ren'Py by CuteShadow
Automatically place Ren'Py Sprites with sensible spacing.
MVNA Jam submission 1/2
This one came about from be being so lazy I couldn't be bothered to write the at left, at right, etc. code in Ren'Py.

For SWAK Jam 2026 we worked on a musical/MV style visual novel. Later we'll update it with vocals so for now it's just karaoke.
It's a short story about an angel and a demon, told through song. It has multiple endings.
I also animated the entire thing in Ren'Py.

With these permanent type of transform properties, I put then in the images definition.
layered/image eileen:
zoom 0.9
"whatever.png"
Even if I use a zoom later in the script, it will just end up multiplying the zoom values together rather than overwriting them.

An image from the screens for ren'py for dummies tutorial series, featuring a coordinate grid.
If you've ever wanted a definitive Ren'Py screens tutorial that starts from zero, I'm going to make you regret that /jk
Part 1-3 are already out. This is going to take a while...

A cute old school anime girl with minotaur horns holds a firearm. Behind her is a large "THANK YOU for Playing" graphic. Small colourful chibis of her animal friends drape over her shoulder, sit on her arm, and rest beside her leg.
THANK YOU to everyone who played, enjoyed, rated, and/or mulled over the lore of Tokidoki Tactical Squad so far! So excited our game could be in the top 25 fan ratings on itch, with judge honorable mention, and two award nominations! โจ #spooktoberVNjam #gamedev #yuriVN

It's so retro anime aesthetic that it makes life in a military base amid a zombie apocalypse look comfy.

So did you know you can just straight-up record ATL using Photo Mode in Ren'Py?
No, seriously it's that easy.
If you've ever wanted to use the camera but thought it was too complicated then now is your chance.

Photo Mode in Ren'Py by CuteShadow
Enhance your players' screenshot-taking experience.
Let ME help YOU market YOUR #renpy #visualnovel.
Out of any other genre, don't you think visual novels (which are about 50% visual) should have a Photo Mode?!
Are you saying your game wouldn't be instantly better in every way by adding Photo Mode to it? (Do it.)
