I have a question regarding the ongoing port of Renpy to SDL3 (See Renpy Dev update for February 2026). With this expansion being based on SDL2, do you think it's likely that it won't work on Renpy 8.6 and beyond? Even with Renpy 8.5 pygame_sdl2 was removed. Is that of relevance for this project? Can you recommend a version of Renpy that will definitely work with it? Thanks you in advance!

I'm not really concerned about this, no. Ren'Py's developers value backwards compatibility, so it's unlikely we're going to lose functionality. If some parts need tweaking following the change, I'll simply make an update to the tool, and you would be able to continue using this initial version on any earlier Ren'Py engine releases. In general I try to avoid modifying engine internals wherever possible, and if I do (often to fix bugs) I always ensure that if I need to change how the tool accesses that part, your "front-end" code using my tool won't have to change. So, I wouldn't be worried about it.
