It worked for my version, 7.3.5. and was recommended here: https://itch.io/t/1055894/how-to-embed-a-renpy-game-to-my-page.

In the Ren'py launcher,  click "Web(beta)," then click "Build Web Application". Under your game folder should be a folder called "[your game]-1.0-dists". Inside is a folder called "[your game]-1.0-web" which contains several files including index.html. Zip "[your game]-1.0-web" and upload it to itch.io as an HTML game. 

Hope this helps anyone going through what I did.

I haven't used an engine in about 2-3 years. To my fellow artists, what resolution and canvas size would be ideal for the average visual novel in RenPy, especially during a jam where you're trying to save time on assets creation? Thanks so much!

I wanted to participate in the #intrenaimo category (game already under development before March) and thought I can submit my game as well. After the submission I noticed that I shouldn't have done so. 

How can I withdraw the submission? I am very sorry for this misunderstanding... 😔

Is the use of RPG maker for visual novels permissible?https://itch.io/t/1964761/urgent-is-the-use-of-rpg-maker-for-visual-novels-permissibleMon, 28 Feb 2022 19:45:28 GMTMon, 28 Feb 2022 19:45:28 GMTMon, 28 Feb 2022 19:45:28 GMTI use RPG Maker MV as my main engine. I have created an interactive visual novel in it before, but... I just don't know where the line between a visual novel and a game actually meets.

What MIGHT be in my visual novel:
Battle system
Inventory

What WILL be in my visual novel:
4-directional movement
Dialogue (Of course)
Puzzles
Your interest
Pixel art

CAVEAT: If you want to have a more crystal clear grasp of what the heck I'm going on about, check my previous game. I do not
want to self-promote myself, but I am only stating this, so the reader may comprehend my vision for this jam. Thank you!

Are fan games allowed? Before knowing about the jam, I have an idea to make a visual novel about an anime, so when I learn about NaNoRenO I thought I might as well try the challenge.

For clarification, I will draw all the art assets myself, though the characters and places would be from that anime.

I think would be cool to use in a VN. Can I use these character models? They weren't intended to be  game models for any particular purpose, they're just models of my OC's.

Looking forward to participating!

Thanks!

Am I allowed to participate in the jam if I spent what’s left of February making a VN-making template and then start actually making the novel once the jam starts?
