Soooo I don't know where else to talk about this, it seems VERY niche, ironically, because it involves real life porn. But uh yaaaaa.

So I recently got into these QSP russian translated games, I really REALLY like the way they play. Its like a more exploratory renpy, (at least the base version of renpy, superpowered has shown you can make renpy into something cool)

ANYWHO, I found out that it is a total bitch to try and make a QSP game if you are english, and have no experience. So then I saw this other section of games involving RAGS...there were like 2 or 3 games compared to QSP's 5-8.

I thought it would be easier to make it in RAGS...and it sort of is, but after viewing a finished adult RAGS game in the designer....there are a shit ton of variable and such to implement to make it an interactive game. Granted this game had a tad larger scope than my simple corruption game, but still, it would require a lot of work it seems, especially as a non coder.

TLDR: Is renpy or RAGS better for making an interactive visual game with gifs and video? Also has anyone seen an renpy H game with live action porn? Lastly which is easier? I am thinking renpy but seems vastly limited without knowledge


Correct me if I am wrong but renpy is all line coding right? Rags and QSP seem to have options to add java script into them but at least for RAGS it is fairly UI based.

P.S if you know of any resources that would make building in either of those easier don't be afraid to share.

Re: Renpy or RAGS?

I use Ren'Py for months and there is a lot of information forums and tutorials (Lemma Soft Forum). As far as I know Ren'Py does not support gif image sequences only and this is a nuisance. Regarding video I've only tested with Theora and was pretty good.

About the code, Ren'Py uses Python but is fairly intuitive and simple. To interactivity with the content is very easy to use in-game menus or scripted hotspots screen.

Re: Renpy or RAGS?

I know this is a bit of an old thread but, never RAGS.
The engine itself is super dated and not very user friendly.

Ren'py might take more work to get it to do what you need it to, but it'll be a better result for it in the end, trust me.

Re: Renpy or RAGS?

I personally do not know which is better, I think the 2 are equal in quality, after playing wife trainer in rags and play corrupting the intern, dreaming about dana and ext with renpay .... I can not tell you what is better. ... the 2 for me are the greatest

Re: Renpy or RAGS?

A lot of people are using twine now.

It would have the advantage of not needing the correct version of RAGS and is probably easier then Renpy.
