Where can I get help and follow Ren'Py news?

If you need help with Ren'Py, the two main places to ask questions are the Ren'Py Discord and the Lemma Soft Forums. For release announcements and development news, follow Ren'Py on Twitter and Facebook. If you find a bug, report it on the GitHub issue tracker, and if you want to contribute to development, go to the GitHub project page. These are the channels listed on renpy.org, so they are the most reliable starting points.

Where to ask questions and get help

The official site names two primary venues for questions about Ren'Py:

• Ren'Py Discord — described as one of the best places to ask questions.
• Lemma Soft Forums — the other recommended place for questions.

Use these when you are stuck on a script, unsure how a feature works, or want feedback from other creators. The site does not specify response times or rules for either channel, so check each community's own guidelines once you arrive.

How to follow Ren'Py news and releases

Ren'Py shares news across several social platforms:

If your goal is simply to know when a new version ships, these are the channels the project points to.

Where to report bugs and contribute

• Found a bug? Report it to the GitHub issue tracker.
• Want to help with development? Visit the GitHub project page.

The site distinguishes these two: the issue tracker is for bugs, while the project page is the entry point for contributing to Ren'Py development.

Other ways to reach the project

For questions that are not appropriate for a public forum, or to find a speaker for a visual novel–related conference or convention, the site says to contact the project via email. Use this only for those cases rather than general support questions.

Quick reference

All of the above comes from the contact and community sections of renpy.org. The site does not list pricing or login requirements for these channels, so treat any account or access rules as things to confirm on each platform itself.
