In this workshop we will introduce game and narrative design using RenPy, which is an open source and cross platform engine for digital storytelling. It makes it easy to combine words, images, and sounds to create visual novels and life simulation games. There will be an example demonstration of the work made possible by RenPy, and we will learn by doing by diving into the backend, using tutorial of different sections and buttons in this platform. There will be storyboarding, sourcing images, creating dialogue between characters, and so on to develop a narrative game. At the end of the session, those who wish to do so can show their completed works!
