Newbie VN game dev and don't know where to start?
Hi! I compiled this easy first time Ren'py making slideshow that will walk you through the bare basics of making a game in Ren'py. Adding text, a background, and character sprites as well as introducing simple menu choices, while they don't go into variables at the moment its a good base start for anyone interested in creating VNs.
It has some very basic video tutorials and are also broken down in their own slides with examples!

Link to the slideshow! Go forth and create!
I also plan to make more of these in varying degrees of complexity for more GUI customization and menu choices , ya know the likes.
