Narrat 3.4.0 has been released
Narrat is a game engine for making all sorts of interactive fiction games, visual novels and more with optional RPG mechanics and a very easy, intuitive and fast dialogue writing system.
Here are the new features in 3.4.0
Animations
There is a new animations 1 feature which lets you animate pretty much anything.
Narrat Editor
The first step to a future narrat editor is here, there is now an interactive narrat playground where you can play and edit a game at the same time directly in the browser.
This required a few changes to make it easier to integrate narrat within the tool, which would make it easier if anyone wants to make advanced plugins/integrations, or run narrat directly inside other websites.
This base proof of concept will be expanded on in the future to try to move towards having a proper desktop editor for creating/managing/editing/publishing narrat games
Breaking Changes
Not a breaking change, but as part of working on the narrat editor, narrat now can be inside custom containers in the page and doesn’t necessarily listen to inputs on the window
object.
This doesn’t seem to break anything in my testing so far
