BlocklyVN8bit - Visual tool to make visual novels for 8-bit platforms

[haroldoop]

Hello;

 

This is my current project. It is a mashup between a previous project of mine and 8bit-Dude's 8bit-Unity. Together, these two tools allows one to use a visual scripting language to create visual novels for multiple 8-bit platforms. It's still on its initial stages, but it is already capable of generating working games.

 

• Version 0.1.0
• Github repository

I love this! Obviously there needs to be some conversion with the images but this should make graphic adventure writing much easier. Calling all writers!

Looks very promising! THX

Hello, again;

 

Version 0.2.1 is now available; it fixes the bug that prevented the Lynx build from working when using portraits:

Known bugs:

- Background palette is still being displayed incorrectly on Lynx: https://github.com/8bit-Dude/8bit-Unity/issues/12

- Sometimes, the ".bat" file responsible from generating the Lynx ROM and calling the emulator will fail to function if executed from inside the editor; if that happens, please try to execute it manually by going to "Folder-Where-The-Application-Was-Installed\8bit-Unity\build\yourprojectname-lynx.bat"; see also: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/BlocklyVN8bit/issues/8
