Hello everyone! 
I'm a solo visual novel developer, and I spend a lot of time creating custom interactive mechanics for my games. I decided to clean up my code, heavily comment it, and release my minigames as plug-and-play templates for the Ren'Py community!
If you are looking to add some gameplay to your dating sims or VNs without wrestling with complex code, check these out:
1. Advanced Fishing Minigame (Pygame CDD) – $5
An action-based, real-time fishing mechanic built with Pygame inside Ren'Py. Includes moving targets, a dropping hook with hitboxes, ATL water ripples, and a high-score system!

2. Ice Cream Maker Minigame – Free / Name your price
A dynamic order-fulfillment game. The code automatically reads what the customer wants, generates the text, and checks if the player assembled the ingredients correctly. Includes a secret topping mechanic!

3. Arcade Claw Machine – Free / Name your price
A classic arcade crane game! Fully customizable image-based UI. You can easily adjust the drop depth, claw speed, and X-coordinates for your custom toy hitboxes.

All templates feature:
- Plug & Play: Just download, open in Ren'Py, and press Start.
- Beginner Friendly: The code is heavily commented in English and Russian, explaining exactly where to change variables and add your own images.
- Bug-Proof UI: Built-in protections (like disabling buttons while animations are playing) to prevent player glitches.
I hope these save you hours of coding! Let me know if you use them in your projects, I'd love to see what you create. Happy developing!
