Visual Novel Framework – Full System
Visual Novel Framework – Full System
This framework provides a full visual novel system with choices, conditional branching, a layered character system, and much more.
Combine the power of UE4 with the narrative depth of a visual novel! This VN Framework provides a full visual novel system that can be integrated with your 3D or 2D environments and gameplay.
These Blueprints have already been used for published games and result from the efforts of Woodsy Studio, which has been building visual novels in UE4 for approximately 2 years. This system is designed to handle large-scale scripts with branching, choices, level changes, and more.
I know what it’s like to write a script as a simple document and then go through the painful process of converting it to code. This framework vastly simplifies that process. You just have to convert your script into a spreadsheet, then upload it as a datatable. After that, you can take full advantage of the VN Framework to add animated characters, cinematic camera angles, and more to your scenes!
