Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

Some things I'm not so sure. Could you explain the "dynamic panel things"? Also, what do you mean by "simple animations such as clouds"? Lip flap is more a matter of animating a string of lip sprites, (like a sprite sheet), which can be timed according to the text thanks to EVEN's looping changes. ...

Re: Visual Novel in PowerPoint?

You know, that would be plausible, but I don't know anyone who has ever used PowerPoint for a kinetic novel. The immediate downsides I can think of is that you can't customize a GUI, and adjust sounds, music, voices, text speed; no CG gallery, save states if it's a particularly long story... Then a...

Re: Two Wet Leaves [Comedy/Drama] [NaNoRenO 2014]

I like the art so far, haha. Those positions *^* also daaaaang Langley's hips don't lie I like the concept so far as well, simple, but I feel you have a lot to go with, I suppose. People with problems getting together is always fun, I guess xD looking forward to seeing more progress on this, good l...

Visual Novel in PowerPoint?

Has anyone ever made a VN in PowerPoint? It seems like it has everything necessary to make a simple kinetic novel. I think it would make for an excellent prototyping tool for VNs.

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

EDIT: I also started a thread for my NaNoRenO entry that will showcase this engine. Follow it here. I am so excited about the iOS compatibility, you have no idea . *_* I don't code at all so most of the stuff in this thread flew over my head, but The Dolls' Stories , a game I created, had like... dy...

Re: The Princess and the Dragon [Fantasy, KN][NanoReno 2014]

I'm a bit confused. I thought the demi elves and dragons were at war? Why would the main character suddenly defy her brothers wishes and help the dragon?

Also, you have any concept art to show?

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

Please tell me more about how you'd like to use EVNE into a hybrid action/VN game. It's a fascinating exercise in design to see how those two can be implemented together. Plus, I bet there are a lot of people wanting to do something similar. I'm thinking of something like Muramasa Rebirth. Out of a...

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

Neither Java Web Start, nor Applets are available on Android/iOS. Then again, I don't think WebGL works on their default web browsers either. The only relevant part of WebGL security concerns is that they might slow down or stop WebGL adoption. >EVNE can animate thousands of sprites simultaneously ...

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

Regarding Construct2 integration, since the action stages will be in separate layouts from the VN stages, perhaps the save system in the VN portion can already take care of the save system of the whole game? For example, while playing an action stage there is no need to save, but once an endpoint t...

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

Thanks for the info - everything sounds very promising! :D Music and sound support are there as well, both in their own categories, so volume controls of both are separate. Will it be possible to create and overlay multiple sound channels? Like, for example, if you wanted to have a voice track, som...
