I'm switching Razzopolis from Tyrano Builder to Ren'py and both engines have pre-built menus and settings, and while I could have opted to mess around with Ren'py's coding to remake the GUI I had in Tyrano, I opted instead to just make new GUI. Have some comparisons: #gamedev #indiegamedev #visnovel

screenshots of settings screens for a game. Top is Tyrano Builder, styled in blues, with round buttons that you select to change settings like music or sound effect volume. The background has a very faint eye-with-hands pattern that encompasses the whole screen.

Bottom is Ren'py. It's styled in dark purples with yellow-gold accents, with a side bar box with eye and hand motifs. An isometric view of the city is faintly visible in the background.

two screenshots of a girl in a purple dress talking to a half-skeletal lady in front of a building. They're both showing menus of dialogue choices. Tyrano's are in rounded dark grey buttons, with the highlighted choice in a slightly lighter grey and the last button with a slightly different border. Ren'py's are in long, thin black boxes, with the text faded on the non-highlighted choices and a gold border around the highlighted choice. The last button has golden text.

two screenshots of an in-game screen, showing a shot of half-opened eyes and a speech bubble with text reading "judgy, judgy! Do you really have that much of a choice?"
Tyrano's version has its in-game user interface, small square visual buttons, in the top left corner. The speech bubble is black with a white border and the text is left-aligned.
Ren'py's user interface is very subtle text at the center bottom of the screen. The speech bubble is pure black with no border, and the text is center-aligned.
