Just Friends is powered by Godot 3.5.4.
Ren'py was one of the choices but after seeing how big projects like Camp Buddy would start running on that platform I decided it would be way more difficult to optimize code and edit already existing scenes.
I created the whole visual novel code from scratch to work with Godot years ago.
Developing anything takes time and learning does it too. It took me an entire year before opening my Patreon, to take Godot, learn it, and create a system that would work as a Visual Novel. It has it's perks, but also has the downsides. One of them is that for me to port it to Android I need to manually recreate a lot of menus.
Either way, keep on studying, Godot is far easier than a lot of engines out there.
