Are you a Linux user, who found a potentially interesting Ren’Py game that’s (sigh) Windoze-only?
Simple trick to try:
- Find another Ren’Py game that uses the same version of Python (many use the older 2.7). The example I tried was Python 3.9, so I used MurMur 6.1 from this site as the “donor”.
- copy the entire %gamefullname%/lib/py3-linux-x86_64 directory to %newgame%/lib.
- rename the %gameshortname% file inside that directory (in this case, murmur) to %newgameshortname% (no extension!)
- make sure that this file has execution permission set
- copy the %gameshortname%.sh file from the %gamefullname% base directory to new game’s base directory.
- rename the copied *.sh to %newgameshortname%.sh
- make sure that our new *.sh has execute permission set
- double click the *.sh file (in most desktops) to play. YMMV. Any disappointment after that is your own.
HOPEFULLY the dev will see this and start including the files in the download!
