Installation

Fresh Install

Thank you for purchasing the Winter RenPy GUI Kit! Here's how to immediately get started with using it.

First, download the latest version of RenPy, available at the offical RenPy website.

Next, download the Winter GUI Kit .zip file provided and unzip it into the RenPy folder.

Open the RenPy launcher and ensure Winter GUI is present under Projects. Select Winter GUI and click "Launch Project." The game will open and play.

note

If Winter GUI is not present or if the game does not open, that means the file was unzipped incorrectly. Make sure the folder name is Winter RenPy GUI and it contains one subfolder called game.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the GUI Kit.

Migrating an existing project

If you have an existing project that uses RenPy and would like to use the GUI kit instead, first follow the steps above.

Next, copy all your project's RenPy .rpy files except gui.rpy and screens.rpy to Winter RenPy GUI/game

Then, copy all your project's folders except cache and gui. to Winter RenPy GUI/game

Finally, launch Winter RenPy GUI. Your game should work correctly.

note

If your old project was a different resolution than 1920x1080, your images may appear incorrectly. This is because Winter GUI only supports a resolution of 1920x1080.
