## ▲FAQ

### ▹Is it a [Ren'Py](https://renpy.org/) competitor? 

No! Despite having a cool logo on Github, this engine is very humble.

Its goal is to be as lightweight as possible, and to be ported to as many platform as possible; especially homebrew libraries for retro console.

### ▹Is this production ready?

Oh my god no. It is still **very** early in development, and I'm almost learning C as I go.

This engine is primarily for my personal use, but I hope to make it more robust with time so that other peoples can enjoy it .

### ▹What consoles are you planning to support? When?

I will start porting the engine to other libraries once I'm happy with the essential features a basic visual novel would need.

I'm not decided on the consoles yet, but I hope to port it to Nintendo DS and PSP first because of backward compatibility.

Right now, thanks to Raylib, VNES is *technically* available on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, Raspberry Pi, Android and HTML (and even more if you are feeling adventurous)
