Why Early Access?

“Visual Novel Nodal Editor is a complex creative tool. We believe the best way to build a robust engine is to work directly with the writers and artists using it. Early Access allows us to gather feedback on the workflow, identify missing features, and ensure the exported games run perfectly on various systems before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeline may adjust based on the feedback we receive and the scope of new features requested by the community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add several key features before the full release, including:
- Advanced Logic System: Variables, conditional switches, and complex branching.
- Steam Workshop Integration: To share assets and templates.
- Expanded Effects Library: More built-in transitions and visual effects.
- Cross-Platform Export: Official support for exporting to Mac and Linux.
- Documentation: Comprehensive tutorials and examples.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully functional for creating and publishing complete Visual Novels on Windows. Key features available now include:

- Node edition for branching narratives and dialogs
- Layer-based scene composition (Images, Text, Audio).
- Real-time preview system.
- Animation system using Bezier curves.
- Particle Systems
- Supports connection to user-hosted Stable Diffusion servers for AI image generation
- One-click export to standalone Windows executables (.exe).
- Basic Steam integration.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. Early adopters who purchase the software during Early Access will receive all future updates without additional cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be active on the Steam Community Forums to listen to feature requests and bug reports. We are building this tool for you, so your feedback on the user interface and workflow is crucial to shaping the final product. We plan to post regular updates and devlogs to keep the community informed.”
