Editor

Draft. This page is awaiting review and may change.

The Workshop is where you make visual novels. Everything is done in the app, with no code and no computer needed.

How a novel is built

A novel is a tree of small pieces:

• A novel has chapters.
• A chapter has scenes.
• A scene has actions: a line of dialogue, a background change, a sound, a choice.

Around that structure sit the assets the actions use: characters, scenery, music, sound effects and cutscenes, plus variables the story can remember, and the GUI that controls how the reader looks.
