Sadly not for beginners, keeps on breaking on me, zero help.

I really do not understand how to make this a project template. I wish these so called easy renpy GUI projects were described better. Theres barely any explanation, and the explanation that is there assumes that the person has experience coding. So frustrating.

This was all extremely confusing to me. I would expect a project that is aimed at people who dont want to code, to be simpler than this.

You need to say it clearly that the scripts should only be added if you want to create an android version.  Terms like this make it confusing: Grab all four scripts, or just pick any one you like or Download the .zip and .rpy files available on the itch.io page. You should state that this is only for android.

Then, you tell people to unpack the zip file in the game directory. I did exactly that, the images do not show up when I launch the project.

I then replace the original renpy gui file with your gui file. The game breaks and doesn't even work.

I overwrite the image files with your gui files, it still doesn't work.

I have tried MULTIPLE things and IT DOES NOT WORK.

This has all been a very frustrating experience. I might as well spend time doing it the regular way instead of wasting days trying to make this work. The instructions seem to be outdated and not tested by others.

I will try this once more with a clear head. If it still doesn’t work I’ll update and delete my comments 

I was intitially excited about this due to it being promoted as a no/low code option, but I get the following error when adding the images and codes to the game folder, yes I unzipped and copied the contents to the game folder.

While running game code:

  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 214, in script call

    call _gl_test

  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in script

    $ __gl_test()

  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 214, in script call

    call _gl_test

  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in script

  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in <module>

    $ __gl_test()

    ui.interact(suppress_underlay=True, suppress_overlay=True)

OSError: Couldn't find file 'gui/window_icon.png'.

I am currently trying this out but am confused about the GUI script file, do I delete the renpy GUI folder and use this one instead?

I tried multiple things and it just doesn’t work sadly, was excited for this.

10 months later and still nothing so I’m afraid that you’re right..

Wish you still were available for commissions :(
