The editor's tabs

Draft. This page is awaiting review and may change.

Opening a novel shows a row of tabs. Each holds one kind of thing.

Tab What lives there
Timeline Chapters and scenes, plus your novel's Start screen and Credits. See Chapters and scenes
CHARACTERS The people in your story and their expressions. See Characters
SCENERY Background pictures. See Scenery
BGM Background music. See Music and sound effects
VARIABLES Values the story remembers. See Variables
SFX Sound effects. See Music and sound effects
CUTSCENES Full-screen videos. See Cutscenes
GUI The look of the text boxes, choices and fonts. See GUI
TRANSLATIONS Translating your novel. Only shown if you turn it on. See Translations

Adding, editing and deleting assets

In every asset tab:

  • Tap + to add one, give it a Name, and Save. Names must be unique within that tab (This name already exists) and can't be empty.
  • Tap an item to edit it; use its menu to Edit or Delete.
  • Each item shows its file size, so you can see what makes your novel large.
  • Use the sort chips to order the list: Name ↓, Name ↑, Newest, Oldest and Size.

Deleting a scenery, BGM, SFX or cutscene also removes every action that used it. Deleting a character works a little differently; see Characters. You can undo a deletion from the top bar. See Undo and redo.

The top bar

The Undo and Redo buttons live in the top bar of the editor and work across the tabs' lists. See Undo and redo.
