Aethermooon UI - Modern Ren'py UI/Interface

I'm very much a tweaker...Not that kind. 

As a visual novel dev, I've toyed a fair bit with my own UI. Ren'py, frustratingly, has it's limits. Shaders, no in-built CSS. It tends to limit the flexibility of an otherwise highly diverse piece of software. I like my UIs to be either fairly industrial or modern, and the latter is where Ren'py feels like it's lacking. It's possible to do a lot with Ren'py, but tougher to get something modern looking. But many VN devs either don't have the skill or time to invest in a fully custom UI. I wanted something that blended modern with ease of accessibility. Which led to Aethermoon.

A complete, drop-in UI template for Ren'Py visual novels. Built with a clean, modern design language inspired by contemporary app interfaces.  Dark backgrounds, sharp typography, subtle borders, and smooth animations throughout.

Aethermoon was intended to feel less like a template and more like a software. Polished and distinct from the moment you hit the main menu.

*AI was used to write the documentation and the commented out directions in the .rpy. Code is otherwise original.

• A tile-based main menu drawing inspiration from AAA titles with animated entrances and fully editable social media icons/links.
• We've attempted to limit the number of image-based assets, so making color changes to the theme should be easier if needed/wanted.
• Redesigned, yet familiar, save (and load) page that features per-file custom save naming.
• Preferences menu with textbox opacity slider
• Clean, minimal game menu will all the basic necessities.
• Dialogue box and quick menu icons.
• Updated history screen
• User and beginner-friendly CG gallery.
• Animated choice menu
• All required assets are included. No need to download or buy anything else.
• Thorough documentation for any help.

If you need any help, run into bugs, or have any ideas/recs you might wanted added, feel free to reach out.

Aethermoon was designed with an in 8.1.3. I've tested on MacOS with 8.5.2 and everything seem to work aside from a bug or two, so pretty confident this will work across multiple version, but can't guarantee all of them. I'm sure there's a version that won't like it. So, again, reach out if you run across something and we'll get it fixed. :)
