Naninovel — Visual Novel Engine

Sure, you can access all the custom variables set in naninovel scenario scripts via C# and vice versa. See https://naninovel.com/guide/custom-variables for more info.

 

Naninovel v1.9 is now available on Unity Asset Store: https://u3d.as/1pg9

Full changes log: https://git.io/JvYHa

 

We've added a guide for resource providers; check out how you can configure custom asset serving scenarios (eg, loading scenario scripts from a shared folder outside of the Unity project or game build directory): https://naninovel.com/guide/resource-providers

 

All the Naninovel configuration menus are supporting Unity's presets feature. It could be useful to create several configuration presets when deploying to different target platforms (eg, mobile, stanadlone, console, etc).

 

Starting with v1.9.3 Naninovel is fully compatible with Unity's new fast enter play mode feature; combined with script hot reload you can now iterate on your game with minimum delays. ⚡️

In v1.9.4, which will soon be available on the Asset Store, all the engine features and built-in UIs are now usable with gamepad and/or keyboard by default. ⌨️

 

I am interested if you could go into more detail as how the integration with Adventure Creator demo scene is done, to call the visual novel style dialogue and get back to AC like in the video. What are the steps required?

 

You can find details in the guide: https://naninovel.com/guide/adventure-creator.html There is also a link to a github repo there, containing an example integration showed in the demo video.

 

In the upcoming update we're adding an option to inject custom configuration providers. The feature makes possible various scenarios, eg reading configuration data from JSON files stored on a remote host. ⚙️

Hey just wanted to stop by and say that your demo is great and very explanatory. I also appreciate how much you have been keeping this asset up to date. I'll be looking more into using this asset for a future project!

Meet our new VS Code IDE extension with additional productivity features: actor IDs and appearances autocompletion, examples in the command docs, value type checking and others. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Elringus.naninovel

 

Do you have a real solution for the Nintendo SWITCH crashing ?. The issue of Serialization Handlers is difficult for me to implement. Perhaps an example of a project that solved the crash would help me a lot.

 

We have several users confirmed Naninovel is working fine on Switch with a custom serialization handler. Nintendo has enforced strict access limitations on the platform SDK and docs, so it's impossible to provide any examples, unfortunately.

 

Naninovel is 50% off during the Super Sale. No regional limitations this time.

Commands can now be folded in our VS Code extension, allowing writers to focus on the dialogues.

To fold/unfold all commands at once, use Ctrl+K,0 and Ctrl+K,J hotkeys respectively. The bindings can be changed in the IDE settings.

 

We've created an extension that allows exporting and importing scenario, managed text and all the associated localization data to an .xlsx spreadsheet.

Could be useful to share the scenario, UI and other text with a translation agency or editors for proofreading.



Pre-release documentation: https://github.com/Naninovel/Docume...111e6588f9b345b7f76/docs/guide/spreadsheet.md

The extension requires Naninovel v1.15, which is currently in pre-release and can be downloaded on our Discord.

 

Unity gone rampage with sales this year, so here is another opportunity to save 50% on Naninovel.

No sales are planned after this one; if you've been waiting for a discount — that could be the last chance.

 

Visual Scripting (aka Bolt) is now a default package starting with Unity 2021.1 beta. We've added a compatibility layer and a guide on how to use it with Naninovel.

https://github.com/Naninovel/Documentation/blob/1.15/docs/guide/visual-scripting.md

 

I tried the example project.
But I got the error where the graph in Bolt doesn't recognize the Get.ServiceType.







What do I do now?
