What was the origin story?
This is a tool to make visual novels for various 8-bit platforms. It had some limited amount of success, originally, but now, there are lots of pending bugs; using this Jam as an opportunity to fix some bugs and implement some stuff.

Rad use of the jam. I love the use of Blockly for VNs, it's super intuitive and I'm surprised it hadn't been done before.

Can you guys click the windows icon in the `edit game` page so that we can use the itch installer?
Developer

Whoops... I had forgotten about that. Done. 👍

The absolute GRAVE-ITAS of submitting a game engine! Not something I'd want to make a game in yet, but so impressive.

This is neat. Fun to play with and it gives the resulting game a really neat effect. I think I wanna try making a game with this. Is there perhaps a way to add music?

Developer( 1)

Thanks for the review! At the moment,  it does not support music, but that may be implemented eventually, for the platforms where this is supported.

Thanks. I feel like it might make a fun cursed computer game type simulation. It even loops infinitely. Some music would definitely go well with it.
