Ren'Py does have functionality for that, but it involves code & UI changes that I don't have experience with, and I also don't have a way to test anything outside of an Android emulator, which may not be sufficient to ensure everything's working. So it's on hold for now.

ah, interesting, that makes sense.

btw, I was actually looking at ren'py the other day to see if it was very easy to create a vn, I got pretty confused fast. Is it easier than it seems? im not sure if the tutorial vn covers enough info from the couple chapters I did of it.

It's not too difficult to pick up. I only knew old school HTML programming before working with it. It's actually not too dissimilar to that. Anything I don't know how to do I can usually search for and find the answer, and there are a number of YouTube guides for it. But for a very basic VN, the tutorial does cover most of it.

I'm not sure what code editing program you tried, but I use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) which has a Ren'Py extension to make the code different colors depending on what it is, which helps parse what I'm looking at.

For YouTube, I think Zeil Learnings is easy to follow: https://www.youtube.com/c/zeillearnings

She also has an itch.io page to download templates: https://zeillearnings.itch.io/

This guy also has good videos. The very early ones cover the basics: https://www.youtube.com/@vimi
