Announcement I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 6.99.9, the latest in a series of releases that will culminate in Ren'Py 7. This release features a full rewrite of the audio and video playback code, which allows for a number of often-requested features: Partial playback of audio files, including the specification of start, end, and loop points.

A new audio channel that allows the playback of multiple sound files at once, for use by interface and game sound

The ability to play multiple movies at once, and to seamlessly loop movies.

Movie-backed sprites that use a pair of movies, one for the color channel and one containing alpha (opacity) information. This release includes a major bugfix involving fullscreen games on Windows when DPI scaling is used, and a number of other fixes and new features. Ren'Py 6.99.9 is brought to you by: Carl

Vollschauer and myself, Tom "PyTom" Rothamel.

Editor Downloads When first asked to edit a file, the Ren'Py launcher will prompt you to download and install an editor. As this may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, the editors can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the editor archive to the Ren'Py directory. Editra (Windows): renpy-6.99.9-editra-windows.zip Editra (Mac): renpy-6.99.9-editra-mac.zip Editra (Linux): renpy-6.99.9-editra-linux.tar.bz2 jEdit: renpy-6.99.9-jedit.zip

Android and iOS Support When building Android packages, iOS packages, or web distributions, Ren'Py will prompt you to download RAPT (Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool), Renios (Ren'Py iOS Support), or Renpyweb (Web Platform Support). As these downloads may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, these packages can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the archive to the Ren'Py directory. (Place the "rapt", "renios", or "web" directory into the "renpy-6.99.9" directory.) Android Support (RAPT): renpy-6.99.9-rapt.zip iOS Support (Renios): renpy-6.99.9-renios.zip
