Would it be correct that ren'py and game maker projects can only be played on their servers (e.g. not able to be hosted on another server without a lot of trouble--as in backbone/interpreter required)?
The interactive comic/story books are kinda cool, but I don't think of them so much as games. The coding skills are the same (subset), but I find their level of interaction so minimal it really takes a super-engaging story and art to keep me clicking. (So, so, hard to create!)
Have you done any animations (other than programmatically)?
Sorry so many questions! I'm just fascinated by it all.
