8.2 Update + Template projects
I've updated Easy Ren'Py GUI to be compatible with the latest Ren'Py engine version 8.2. You can see the changes in the GitHub history: https://github.com/shawna-p/EasyRenPyGui/commit/52b2c08d4686e614ca8588df617678e0...
Also of note is that v8.2 allows for new projects to be generated with the use of a template. I have set up Easy Ren'Py GUI to be compatible with this, with the following caveat: template projects require screens.rpy and gui.rpy files to exist in the project's game/ folder.
However, through testing, it is sufficient to simply create blank files called screens.rpy and gui.rpy to put in EasyRenPyGui/game/. Make sure the EasyRenPyGui folder is inside your Ren'Py project folder as well. You can then create a new project and select EasyRenPyGui as the template. Once Ren'Py has generated the new project, you can delete the blank screens.rpy and gui.rpy files from the new project.
Otherwise, the same techniques are still sufficient to create new projects from this template as described in the instructions on the itch page.
Thank you to everyone who's downloaded this template over these past several months! It's by far my favourite way of creating new projects, and I'm happy to see so many people enjoying it as well ✨
If you liked this template, you might also be interested in some of the other tools I've been releasing lately, like my Extended Music Room! It provides several improvements to the built-in music room as well as three different screen layouts so you can make it your own.

I really do not understand how to make this a project template. I wish these so called easy renpy GUI projects were described better. Theres barely any explanation, and the explanation that is there assumes that the person has experience coding. So frustrating.
You only need to put it inside your Ren'Py project folder. Then, when you create a new project, the launcher will ask if you want to use a template or not. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/template_projects.html
All the functionality is already included so it works as a template; all you have to do is unzip it in your projects folder such that it looks like any other project.
This template is not a tutorial - it's for people who want to try their hand at customizing their projects beyond the reskinning the default project offers. I do have a website for tutorials if that's what you're looking for: https://feniksdev.com/navigation/
