Rena is a scripting language for Godot Engine, designed with a goal of turning writing interactive dialogues for games a very enjoyable and intuitive process. Rena is heavily inspired by RenPy, an awesome engine for visual novels, although Rena tries to be more general purpose.
Its not a framework. It does not enforce certain project structure or anything like that. Its just a small virtual machine that interprets code, how you integrate it in your project is completely up to you.
Rena is still in active development, some features might buggy, Not recommended for production yet. If you are experiencing problems, report them in the issues tab, I'll try to fix everything as fast as I can. You can also request features, of course.
