NovellaForge manual · Chapter 04

Importing a Ren’Py game

Bring an existing visual novel into NovellaForge.

What is imported

Choose the Ren’Py game folder (the one that contains “game”). NovellaForge reads .rpy scripts, compiled .rpyc files and .rpa archives and converts dialogue, characters, choices, conditions, variables, jumps, transitions, music, sound, videos, animations, image-map screens, galleries and title art.

What is not

Custom screens, arbitrary Python, ATL transforms and camera moves, NVL mode and minigames have no equivalent. They are listed in the import report and kept as notes so nothing disappears silently.

Your own games only

Only import games you made or have permission to use.
