Ren'Py Horror/Dark UI Kit

This is a dark/horror themed GUI/UI kit for visual novels made with the Ren'Py engine. It's designed to work with games in the size 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Contents

Comes with graphics for all the default screens such as main menu, game menu, preferences etc.

After purchasing, you will get two .zip files: one contains only the images, the other contains a Ren'Py project containing configuration and styles that make the kit look and behave like they do in the screenshots.

In the images .zip file, the main menu background does not contain a logo like in the example screenshots, but is just a plain background that you can put your own game logo/text on top if you want to. In the Ren'Py project the main menu uses the logo to showcase how it looks like.

The ADV-mode dialogue background uses a frame instead of the standard textbox.png image in the example project. This makes it easier to resize the background for the dialogue to the size you like with code without having the image stretch or get blurry in a funny way. An example can be seen in the 9th screenshot on this page.

The NVL-mode background (as seen in the last screenshot on this page) is also a frame image.

A ctc (click-to-continue) image is included and animated in the example project.

! Important Notes !

Please note that not all GUI images provided as a standard by Ren'Py have been replaced in this package as some images have been left out. Read the "list of contents" below to see what comes with it.

The screenshots provided on this product page uses the setup code provided in the "example base project with settings" that comes with the product. Just using the images provided will not provide the same look alone!

The in-game backgrounds shown in the screenshots on this page are not part of the GUI-kit but are used in the example project to help show how the GUI looks like. The backgrounds included in the project are made by mugenjohncel on the lemmasoft forums.

Some edits have been made to the screens.rpy file as there was no way to use override styles. Those edits are exclusive to the navigation and file_slots screens and have been commented. You can find what these are by searching the screens file for "CUSTOM CODE".
