I just want to mention, that i wasn't really satisfied with still images.
Daz seems to be ok for what it is, but i liked the style of the games i mentioned which low key, artistically.
Yes, Renpy is a good engine and you can make a real good game with it.
I bought Sally Mask which uses Renpy and it looks great.
The lag of knowledge is of course something i regret.
Thanks, i will look up some of the things you mentioned.
