Ren'Py is easy to use, but I am Not A Fan of its documentation.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still though, I've learned a lot! My next foray into Ren'Py will def. be more ambitious.

A bounty hunter by trade, you are about to confront an evil Glam Necromancer and his nefarious scheme to destroy all pizza in the world!\r\n\r\nMade in Ren'Py, and worked on by two people, both new to Ludum Dare and Ren'Py! Wicked did the art, and Nathan did the words (and ironically awful titlecard).\r\n\r\nMusic is by Kevin MacLeod. Sound effects ripped from The World Ends With You.\r\n\r\nThe link should also contain working versions for OS\/X and Linux, if I understand Ren'Py's exporting system correctly. If not, I will look into uploading OS\/X and Linux versions separately.","title":"Pizzapocalypse 20XX"}
