Ren'Py Plugin for JoiPlay for Android

Quick summary of the add-on

Ren’Py Plugin for JoiPlay is a free extension that lets the JoiPlay front-end run games and demo files made with the Ren’Py visual‑novel engine. It does not include any games itself and cannot operate without the JoiPlay app.

Why you might need it

Ren’Py is an open‑source engine commonly used to create interactive stories and visual novels. If you want to preview or play Ren’Py projects on an Android device using JoiPlay, this plugin is required to provide compatibility between the engine’s files and the JoiPlay interface.

Important limitations and requirements

• The plugin only provides compatibility support for Ren’Py projects; it does not bundle or distribute any game content.
• It is not a standalone application — JoiPlay must be installed and configured for the plugin to work.
• Game files must be obtained separately and legitimately from the developer or a trusted source.

Who should install it

This add-on is intended for:

• Developers testing Ren’Py builds on mobile through JoiPlay.
• Players who want to run Ren’Py visual novels on the JoiPlay front end.

If you fall into either group, installing the Ren’Py Plugin for JoiPlay will enable JoiPlay to recognize and run Ren’Py project files.
