ReNimin: A Ren'Py Port of Nimin Fantasy
Hello all! I've been working on this project for months now, and I'm finally at a point where I can share an update.
I originally played Nimin way back. As you can imagine, I mainly focused on Malon and breast expansion content. I always wished it got the sequel treatment that Corruption of Champions received, or the ongoing love that Trials in Tainted Space continues to enjoy. I kept imagining what it would be like with actual images, a slicker UI, maybe some character portraits.
The creator seemed to have moved on from the project (I reached out, checked their posts, never heard back totally understandable, people have lives and new projects and such), so I decided to do the absolutely reasonable thing: spend an unreasonable amount of my time porting the entire game to Ren'Py.
Which, in retrospect, was perhaps the decision of someone who severely underestimated how much code one Flash game could contain. Massive respect to Xadera for creating and maintaining something this complex.
Porting the Game
Let me be completely transparent with you: porting this game has personally been a
Herculean task. This game has many interlocking systems and variables, each of which depends on three other systems. Trying to fix or change any one thing has knock on effects for everything else in the game.
Faithfully reproducing all of this in Ren'Py has been very difficult. I am absolutely certain I've missed things. There are definitely bugs lurking in there waiting to ruin someone's playthrough.
PLEASE SAVE OFTEN. (Speaking of which: if you find bugs,
please let me know. I will fix them.)
I've stress-tested the systems as best I feel I can, I really need more people to test more things to know what to fix and change.
Issues with Patreon Situation (Content Changes)
You may notice that this game cannot be found on my Patreon. I'm going to be upfront, this game was minefield in terms of patreon safe nsfw content.
As I went through the game with fresh eyes, I discovered that... well... some content needed significant modifications to align with Patreon platform guidelines. Some of their guidelines I genuinely agree with. Others feel puritanical for reasons that escape me entirely. But I'm trying to eventually put future development on
Subscribestar and maybe later
Patreon (for art funding, mostly), so I made the changes.
Here's what got modified:
- Lila's entire storyline got reworked pretty substantially. Her "mother" is now "Mira," her girlfriend/roommate. The dynamic changed from... well, you know... to something that Patreon won't obliterate me for.
- Speech patterns were normalized throughout no more baby talk in contexts where it created uncomfortable implications.
- Battle terminology changed from "rape" to "seduce" throughout (which honestly reads better anyway)
- Certain routes were disabled or significantly altered
If your favorite content got caught in the crossfire of content moderation, I'm genuinely sorry. I tried to preserve the spirit of things while staying within guidelines. It's a tricky balance.
What's New (Not Much)
Very very slowly I've been trying to add images for major NPCs
Currently there's one for
Malon,
Lila, and
Silandrias.
I've also added images for 5 items (mostly relating to Malon)
Patreon Compliance Changes
| Change | Original | Modified |
|---|
| Lila's Guardian | "Mother" | "Mira" (Girlfriend) |
| Speech Patterns | Baby talk throughout | Normalized adult speech |
| Battle Actions | "Rape Victory" | "Seduce Victory" |
| Forced Encounters | Non-consensual elements | Player-choice interactions |
| Diaper Route | Full content | Disabled |
| Adult NPCs | Ambiguous ages | Explicitly 18+ |
The Future (What's Next?)
Really, at this point I'm just porting and polishing ... this version will always remain free. But I might put future updates on
SubscribeStar to help fund artwork and additional content.
What I'm planning:
- Expand on the dream sequences questline
- Add another civilization/town: I'm torn between Moths, Sheep, or Tapirs. (Tapirs feel underrepresented in transformation/furry fiction, don't you think? There's an untapped market.)
- Implement some kind of tile-based traversal for new areas (like TiTS) to make exploration more interesting
- More variations for events: This was one of my favorite parts of the original! Like, if you get Malon repeatedly pregnant, her chest gets larger and she gets milkier. I want MORE of that.
What I need from you:
- Bug reports! Please!
- Content suggestions! What did you love in the original that feels missing or underdeveloped?
- Ideas for new content! I'm overwhelmed by how huge the original game was. I probably haven't seen half of it.

Final Thoughts
Look, I started this project because I loved the original game and wanted to see it preserved and improved. ActionScript is dying (dead?), Flash is gone, and games like this deserve to keep existing in playable forms.
Is this port perfect? Absolutely not.
Thank you!

P.S. — If Xadera ever sees this and wants to collaborate or has feelings about me porting their game, my DMs are open. I come in peace and with tremendous respect for the original work.
