MSVN Is Moving to Ren'Py! Happy New Year Everyone!
🕑 Added 2022-01-01 01:36:02 +0000 UTCAs the last Patreon post of the year, I wanted to make an update about the future of the visual novel! I'm sorry there's been a lack of updates lately, but there's a big reason for that. As some may know, back in October I encountered a bug in Visual Novel Maker (VNM) that completely prevented me from exporting the game. Any time I tried, the whole program would freeze and crash. I've honestly been frustrated with VNM for a long time now, because this isn't the first time I had encountered a bug that halted my progress.
I didn't want to switch programs if necessary, so in November and December I attempted to get help fixing this problem, but I received mostly radio silence. Instead of continuing to use a program that has been a headache, I've decided to make a big leap and start teaching myself Ren'Py. This will be a struggle at first, since it's a bit more coding-based than VNM was, but my experience with VNM is already helping me understand most of the concepts I'm seeing in these tutorials.
The hardest part, I think, will be stuff like the customized UI I had in VNM, but for now I'm going to focus on adding in all the old assets and recreating scenes as best as I can. I have a lot of writing commissions I need to catch up on this month, so you probably won't hear much regarding the visual novel until February, but I wanted to keep everyone updated on where the game was at!
Thank you SO much to everyone who has shown their support for this project by being part of this Patreon, it means the world to me and MSVN is only able to exist because of you. I hope to bring you even more quality size content in 2022, whether that's in the form of writing, virtual reality, or the visual novel.

That's wonderful! I'm happy to hear this is a good thing for you! The idea of seeing MSVN translated into Spanish is very exciting~

Cool! In Renpy it will be much easier for me to translate the game (as I mentioned a long time ago on Twitter). I will wait for more news
