Don't listen to her, Willow. Make your own decisions.

Lovers of dating sims, rejoice. Thy time is now. Visual Novel Maker, a game-making tool that lets you create your own choice-driven stories, is out today. It’s priced at 46/$60, though. That isn’t so surprising, considering that it’s made by the same folks who do RPG Maker, which has always been expensive outside of a sale. But when Ren’Py is free and does more or less the same thing, 40 feels like a lot. (more…)

We’ve received a lot of questions about the price point of Visual Novel Maker, and we’re happy to announce that VNM will only cost $59.99! This includes the engine and the StAR assets to use for your game such as characters, background, audio, etc.



One of the additions we’re especially excited for is the paid Live2D DLC. The Live2D DLC is introduced at a price point of 19.99$. Or, you can buy the Visual Novel Maker program and Live2D DLC bundle and save $10!



Live2D is a fantastic utility that allows you to animate a character without having to create a 3D model or having to draw every single animation frame. With Live2D, you can add a myriad of extra features to your character – such as animating their mouths when they talk or giving them body language that conveys their dialogue and personality better.

Just to clarify that this DLC allows you to use Live2D 2.1 Models in Visual Novel Maker. The software to create the models is sold separately by Live2D.



But, whoa! Hold your horses! Isn’t Live2D SDK free to download? What shenanigans are we up to here, charging 19.99$ for it?!

We’re happy to announce that Live2D SDK DLC for Visual Novel Maker includes a special license that gives you more freedom when you’re pursuing your commercial game dreams! With this DLC, you no longer need to sign a contract with Live2D Inc and you’re free to publish commercial VNM titles without needing to pay for licensing fees to Live2D Inc or having to worry about royalties.

In other words, the small fee you pay for Live2D DLC gives you a straightforward way to enhance content for your commercial titles without having to worry about complicated contracts, licensing and payment thresholds.

If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to send us an ask in our Tumblr – or visit our social media such as Twitter and Facebook!
