Games made with Visual Novel Maker
How it works
Visual Novel Maker uses a toolbox system that lets you drag & drop typical VN actions, e.g., dialog messages, background images, effects, etc, into a scene. Interactive elements and simple logic is also covered, e.g., creating variables, switches and conditions. UIs are customizable.
Actions that are not covered by the default toolbox, can be implemented using java scripts.
While Visual Novel Maker is a very powerful tool, the learnign curve is a bit steep, especially compared to TyranoBuilder.

| Displays a ruby-text. The "rb" value is the ruby-base text. The "rt" is the ruby-text placed above the ruby-base text. The "id" is optional and specifies the index of the style to use for the ruby-text. By default, the style "rubyText" defined in script "Style_Default" is used. If the id is set to a value, that value is added as a suffix to the style-name like "rubyText-2" if the id is 2. |

| Displays the text as a styleable clickable link and calls the common event at the specified index. Unlink LK, it allows you to apply a custom style to the link defined in a script. The id is optional and specifies the index of the style to use. By default, the style "hyperlink" defined in script "Style_Default" is used. If the id is set to a value, that value is added as suffix to the style-name like "hyperlink-2" if the id is 2. However, a styleable link costs more performance than a regular link. Also, it is not possible to add any other style text-codes to a styleable link since the style comes from a style-definition in script. |
