Ren'Py 7.4.4 Released
Added 2021-03-18 01:26:41 +0000 UTCI'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.4.4, the fourth patch release for the 7.4 series. This fixes a pair of regressions, one that stopped the Web Beta from working, and another that prevented gestures and controller support from working.
This release adds basic support for custom blend modes, and uses that support to implement additive and multiplicative blends for Live2D. It also fixes an issue with large textures that usually manifested as problems with Live2D.
It also includes a new feature that makes it possible to supply old .rpyc files to Ren'Py, which should help maintain save compatibility with games that are released more than once, such as games with early access.
Everyone should upgrade.
