[Course Material] Ren'Py Minigames 101: Rhythm Game!

Are you interested in game development and want to create engaging 2D minigames? Are you a Ren'Py developer looking to implement minigames in your projects? This is the course for you.

This course, Ren'Py Minigames 101, covers all the fundamentals you need to build your own minigame in Ren'Py.

The example project that we will work through is a Rhythm Game (adapted from my free, open-source game). The course material is free on my GitHub.

Check out my promotional YouTube video or keep reading for more information.

Prerequisites (highly recommended):

You will gain the most from this course if you have experience with Ren'Py, Python, and programming. This course assumes Python knowledge including data structures (list, dictionaries), functions, and classes (Object-Oriented Programming).

If you need to brush up on your Python skills, check out my tailored Python for Ren'Py course on Udemy.

Course Structure:

In each lecture, we will make incremental changes to our code, and, at the end of every lecture, we will have a runnable Ren'Py project that shows tangible progress towards the final completed project.

Some topics that we will cover:

• Ren'Py Screens
• Ren'Py Creator-Defined Displayables
•  Rendering the game view
• Implementing player controls with PyGame
• Timing the music notes to any song with Python packages like Aubio and Librosa
• Enhancing player experience with a Heads-Up Display (HUD) and other visual cues
• Designing bonus features for the Rhythm Game

By the end of this course, you will:

• Have implemented a rhythm game from scratch
• Be able to build bonus features for the rhythm game if you wish
• Have the skills to build your own minigame in Ren'Py and Python

If you register for the course using my instructor link (at no additional cost to you) instead of register directly on Udemy, Udemy will allow me to keep more of my revenue and I'll be able to produce more content, paid AND free, in the future. Thanks for your support!

Join me in this course to level up your programming and game development skills and develop a minigame for your next Ren'Py project!
