Platform Overview

GenPy is an all-in-one visual novel creation platform built for Ren'Py creators. You can plan, write, preview, organize, and publish your project from one workspace instead of juggling separate tools.

What GenPy Helps You Do

GenPy is more than a script editor. It gives you one place to shape your story, manage your project, and move from idea to playable build.

• Turn rough ideas into scenes, characters, and branching story paths
• Write visually or edit scripts directly, depending on how you like to work
• Organize art, audio, and project files in a creator-friendly workspace
• Preview scenes before export so you can catch issues early
• Use built-in AI help for brainstorming, drafting, and polishing

Who It's For

• Writers building their first visual novel
• Indie developers shipping commercial or hobby projects
• Narrative designers planning branching stories
• Experienced Ren'Py creators who want a faster workflow

Choose How You Work

Cloud

• Open GenPy in your browser at genpy.org
• No installation required

Desktop
