Hunter's comment

Some Legendary Anime Franchises used to be Visual Novels before they became huge. Visual Novels are also a great way to make games with a team with high artistic and literary talent that doesn't have many (or any) programmers. Ren'Py is free for commercial use and therefore any tiny team with barely any cash can get into the project without any worries.

Default Features

  • A main menu that lets the user start a new game, load a game, or adjust settings.
  • A game menu that lets the user load, save, and adjust settings.
  • Automatic saving of games.
  • Rollback, the ability to go back in time to see previously shown screens. The user can even make different choices the second time around.
  • Predictive image loading, which loads images in the background. - This prevents the user from having to wait around while images are being loaded from disk.
  • Support for controlling the game using the mouse, keyboard, or gamepad.
  • The ability to pick if the game runs in fullscreen mode, or in a rescalable window.
  • The ability to skip through text when replaying, including the ability to skip only text that's been read.
  • The ability to auto-advance text without having to hit the keyboard. This adjusts to the amount of text being shown, so longer text sticks around longer.
  • The ability to hide text, so that the user can see the pictures behind it.
  • The ability to independently change music, sound effect, and voice volume.

Features can be added, removed or altered a\to your liking (if you are a good programmer)

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

Ren'Py is free for commercial use and therefor any tiny team with barely any cash can get into the project without any worries.
It should be therefore instead of therefor.
