Show HN: RouteVN – An application for making Visual Novels without any coding
RouteVN is a no-code application that enables users to create visual novels without any programming knowledge.
Background
- Visual novels are interactive story games popular in Japan and increasingly worldwide, combining text, character art, branching choices, and multiple endings. Big names include *Doki Doki Literature Club!* and the *Ace Attorney* series.
- RouteVN is a new no-code tool for making visual novels. The HN community will compare it to existing engines like Ren'Py (the most popular free/open-source VN engine, which requires Python scripting) and TyranoBuilder (a paid drag-and-drop engine). RouteVN's pitch is removing code entirely.
- "Show HN" is a tag on Hacker News where makers share side projects for feedback. A positive or critical reception there can make or break a new developer tool.
