So... Does anyone here have experience with ren'py? I'm getting the impression it's one of those tools where it's easy to do the simple things but really hard to do the harder things. I dunno. Just, stuff like "make a button appear on the screen with a nice animation" seems like it should be a lot easier than it's turning out to be.

@lambdagrrl its usually possible to unpack released games to see how they do it; rpatool work well for this: https://github.com/Shizmob/rpatool
