We now have a dedicated discussion board!
Discord will still be our preferred method of communication, but we also know some countries ban access.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!

It's difficult to work with this until there's a proper video tutorial for complete beginners. There's not enough information online, even in English... But 3D seems quite promising, so I hope this engine gets the proper training it needs...

Developer

Great point, for the moment I'd recommend joining our Discord server for interactive communication. Tutorials are being posted there as well.

I wonder, what language is the engine? I was thinking it looks like Javascript through my phone while checking it out. I read it says Light.vn's c++ is used to export or something - but I was told I could write in JS or that it supports it.

Developer

The engine is c++. We also have a browser export, that might be what you were being told. 

Thank you for clearing that up for us - the team wants to use it for the jam regardless. So we'll be diving deep into it this month.

Developer

Sounds great - our Discord would be our better place for support, feel free to hop on if you already haven't. 

I am toying around with Light.VN, and while I really like a lot of the features, I miss Renpy’s ease of making text buttons (just text, no background image). As of now, the engine seems to be very image-heavy, which is not always appealing for rapid prototyping.

Developer

Feel free to request the no-image text buttons as a suggestion in our Discord server!

Hi
Is this a bug? Whenever i enter "project" then "publish" this happens.
I am using the english version of Light.v

Developer

Hi, an answer has been posted in our Discord server

Thank you very much!!!

Where do I download the actual visual novel engine, where I make my own game? I downloaded Light.vn Story on the Android app store, but I think I just got an example game, not the engine itself.
