Not dead, surprisingly

An Update!

FYI, I'm not dead.  My free time was spent looking at a bunch of games.  Apparently I've been slacking and I missed a bunch of updates and "new" games.  Need to keep myself up to date.

Included in the games I recently played through were a couple ren'py games.  I dismissed the engine in the past due to me not knowing anything about python.  But there were some mods and modding was fairly simple enough.  So I'm going to run through the tutorial and see how I feel about it.

There's a couple advantages in ren'py that I can see and where used quite well in other games.  This could potentially free up a bunch of drudge work inherent in Rags and Twine.

I'm considering doing a quick game as a test, much like I did with Twine.  But I'll need to get some experience with the engine first.  I'll run through the tutorial first and then mess around a bit to see how I feel about it.
