Is there any news about the virtual novel system thingie?
Maybe a new version on the works, or maybe someone is making a story?

:blink:
 
I doubt anythings changed since the last time there was discussion over it. As far as I know Nin Nin is still working on a conversion of one of the japanese VN games, a couple were started like the Dragon ball Z game but it's progress stalled.

I think the biggest problem is just it's a little time cosuming to work out the structure of a Virtual novel. I still have hope to create one as it's really a very open system, I just need to take the time to understand it fully, which I havent had much free time and a few other unrelated progects. Which I beleive both Nin Nin and Virtual Leech and both offered help to anyone that needs help.
 
Yes im still working on it :)

and virtua leech has made a new version i'v beta tested it but its not ready for release yet.

Good news is the Zip file bug is fixed now u dont have to create empty directorys to play the novels :)

and 1 or 2 other things ;)

As was said before im happy to help anyone with vns stuff :)

:ph34r:
 
Are there any done VNs anywhere then?
I don't want to attempt to make text file totally from scratch with no previous knowledge, I want to see what a finished one looks like.
I'm thinking it may be easier to try to code a VN from scratch...
 
My major problem with the editor was that I never understood where to start, granted I didnt read through the instructions at the time that I first used it but I didn't complain that it was too hard and instead started to work on learning the VNS language (but susequently got sidetracked), but I think more people would have used it if they could've jumped in and immediatly understood the editor.
 
Come on, people. My novel worked first try and VNS scripting language is so easy to learn it's not funny anymore.... Just do a text file, it is really simple.
 
I think it would also help if people had sources of art they could draw from if they arnt artists themselves... of course they would probably require music and sound effects sources too. maybe we could start a resource thread.

I remember a while back when the DBZ VN was being worked on we tried to find a few DBZ mods to use for music, maybe we can do the same for artwork as well?


Man I really wish I had more free time right now to get a VN started ...and finished while we're thinking about it.

"Bilder"
Enter whatever you want

Tada! Instant pictures! Don't expect everything you want to be shoved up your.... nose. Part of creating is finding ressources yourself. I found EVERYTHING I needed for my novel using google. How do you want to organize ressources? Music and Sound I can understand, but those are also easy to find or record yourself. Pictures probabyl won't work that way. For example, my VNS ("The puppet Master") needed a picture of puppets. How many Novels do you think need those too? Ressources are easy to find if you are serious about getting them. We already have a simple, easy to use interface which does not require you to learn any programming language at all. Now you want the pictures supplied? I may sound a bit harsh here, but come on, it can't get more simple as with VNS....

I never bothered to find Webspace I could use to upload it. There was and is not much interest for VNS and even less for a novel that is
a) short
B) "ported" from a King Diamond CD
and
c) does not offer too many choices to the player.

I know thats why my novel will have u playing for over an hour :)

If i ever get more time i'll create a quick VNS guide.

You can download my demo version of "A japanese love story" and just write new lines for it.

All the code for the background colours is done just delete everything from scene 001 and your good to go :)
