VNE Beta Available Now!
Hey there! It's been a really long time since the last update. A realllllly long time.
I'm pretty proud of the new 2022 beta update to VNE. The beta is a complete rewrite of the entire engine using a different language entirely focused on performance and customizability.
This new engine is fully backwards compatible with all the VNs created with the older version. You can access the new beta by using the code "betabuild2022" under the BETAS tab for your Visual Novel Engine steam installation. Currently the beta is available on Windows as well as Linux (via Proton). Exporting currently supports Windows if you have the Export DLC.
I plan to backport all existing VNs from the old database into the new one as well as the submissions that I was not able to approve. Consider them approved!
If you encounter any bugs or have any feature requests I will be active in the community Discord as well as Steam Discussions!
I plan a lot of feature expansion for VNE including controller / steam deck support, RPG game elements, and interactive game blocks (with built-in map editors as well), the list goes on so if you have anything for me to prioritize please let me know!
Most importantly, the double text display bug has been completely fixed! ;)
