I found this VN interpreter today.

It may be related this project?

It's hard to find out the status of the project(s), not percentage-wise, but whether it's still in active development. And that second project, I can't get it to run

It's an interesting design choice to have the game script as XML. Seems to me that it might make an IDE easier to implement, and I see that there plans for an editor.

Quite... verbose, though. I would hate to have to type it up in a plain text editor.

Branching seems to be like Blade, a menu choice loads a new script file - also somewhat annoying to keep track of manually, but not a problem if there was an IDE keeping track for you.

It would be quite tedious to type up XML by notepad or whatever, it would definatly make sense if there was a GUI interface that goes with it. This engine does has some promise, but right now it seems to be in early development stages so I can't really judge on it. Only advatage I see so far is the OpenGL as the main graphics engine.
