I know you’re worried about how useful this can be for developers since you have to bring your own assets, but I think it serves as a nice learning tool and to showcase the versatility of the engine. I took a break from VN scene for many years (so long that Ren’py has advanced two whole numbers) and when I returned I went to look for all-in-one packs like yours to relearn how the codes are cobbled together and what new thing Ren’py has now.
Now I have my own starter template filled with bits and pieces of functions I use often, but I still like to look at these packs to see if they have neat idea I might never think of on my own (and crib the code when allowed). I also like to refer new people to these kind of template, so they could start with robust set of features before having to make everything from scratch.
Code might be messy, but at the end of the day it’s still helpful and not everyone would like to take a look under the hood anyway!
