renpy-vita is a native Ren'Py visual novel port for the PS Vita. Based on renpy-switch by uyjulian.

Ren'Py is a visual novel engine – used by thousands of creators from around the world – that helps you use words, images, and sounds to tell interactive stories that run on computers and mobile devices. These can be both visual novels and life simulation games. The easy to learn script language allows anyone to efficiently write large visual novels, while its Python scripting is enough for complex simulation games.

User guide

Distribution Tool

Want to make/port your own game?

Use Ren'Py PSVita Distribution Tool to ease the process of creating a Ren'Py bubble with the required structure and assets.
This tool was made to be used either standalone, or in tandem with the official Ren'Py SDK.

How to use:

In order to create a valid project, you must create a folder with a valid game folder within it (eg. DDLC/game).
The application will automatically find these projects and add them to the list to be built. Be aware that valid LiveArea assets also need to be provided, including pic0.png.
After that, enter the required information, and click Build! All built VPKs will be put in the dist folder under their project name.
