Ren'Py 8.3.0 and Ren'Py 7.8.0 Released
🕑 Added 2024-08-23 01:29:38 +0000 UTCI'm happy to announce the release of Ren'Py 8.3.0 and Ren'Py 7.8.0, the result of months of development. Ren'Py 8.3.0 is a feature release that adds many new features, fixes, and improvements to Ren'Py, and should be used for all new games. Ren'Py 7.8.0 is a matching release meant to support games still using Ren'Py 7.
Ren'Py 8.3 and Ren'Py 7.8 are joint releases that add many new features, fixes, and improvements to Ren'Py. The two biggest features are:
Audio Filters, a system for processing audio in real-time, allowing for effects like high-pass and low-pass filters, reverb, and more.
Text shaders, which allow GLSL shaders to be applied to text. These allow for many text effects that were not possible, and make it possible to replace the default typewriter slow-text effect with other options, like a moving dissolve.
Some of the other changes are:
Improvements to shaders, including shader-part local variables that make it easier to combine shaders.
Changes and improvements to the window statements to give better control over window management.
New functions that make it possible to screenshot displayable (for example, a layered image that contains a paper doll) and save that screenshot to a file.
Updated Steam support, including new support for the Steam Timeline.
Ren'Py's Android support now targets Android 15 (API Level 35).
Ren'Py's Android support now supports sizes of up to 4GB on Google Play.
Retained speech bubbles are now automatically cleared when appropriate.
As well ans many other fixes, changes, and improvements. Please see the changelog for a complete list of changes.
