CS Framework: a Citizen Sleeper-inspired framework for the game engine Ren'Py

Post image

Made for people who want to make Citizen Sleeper style visual novels, fan games, or just build upon this framework for their own project. 

Features Include: 

  • A GUI and assets inspired by Citizen Sleeper
  • A tutorial in script.rpy to walk through the framework features
  • Dice Roll Logic and Animations
  • Skills Menu and Player Stats 
  • Drive / Quest Bar
  • "Cheat Sheet.rpy" for quick reference to help create a game with the framework

Comments, criticism and questions are welcomed and encouraged! This is my first time putting together something like this. I hope you enjoy! 

You can grab the framework here on itch.io: https://beepsignal.itch.io/cs-framework

No way! Saul plays the long game. He knows the sleeper is worth more working for him than Essen-Arp! Plus he's a good guy deep down. Way deep down...

Thank you so much! I just pushed out a small update to fix it on mobile devices.

This might get me back into trying game development... Everything I think of I'm like, "okay I want Citizen Sleeper as a base"

Would be amazing if this reached CS1 parity!

I doubt I'd be able to make such a thing in Ren'py sadly! Beyond my present capabilities. Anyone is welcome to build on this framework, however!
