Twine to Ren'Py

The Twine to Ren'Py tool allows you to write a simple Ren'Py game but with the visual outlining of writing in Twine. Convert a Sugarcube Twine html file into rpy files for your Ren'Py game project.

This requires Python 2.7 to run. If you don't have it, you can download the standalone application to run (on Windows only) instead here: https://ludowoods.itch.io/twine-to-renpy-tool

Features

• Converts Twine-like choices into Ren'Py menus
• Converts Twine variables and conditionals to Ren'Py (Note that conditional results need to be on a new line to be processed properly. See demo Twine file uploaded as of 7/3)
• Option to define characters and variables at start of script
• Replaces special characters and passage titles with Ren'Py safe terms
• Add custom replacement terms
• Use passage tags to break up into separate rpy files
• Includes Sugarcube demo for writing Ren'Py games in Twine
