Choose Pominis when speed, visual iteration, and web sharing matter most. Choose Ren'Py when you want a free, open-source engine and full control over the project files.
Start with what you have
A complete script is optional
A short premise is enough to begin. If you already have a script or story, use it as source material and review the generated structure before publishing.
“Create a short visual novel about a night train that stops at a station that is not on any map. Give the player two meaningful choices and two different endings.”
