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?

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.
