UPDATE 0.93

BROKVN - Visual Novel Engine
A downloadable tool for Windows and macOS

0.93 (November 23, 2025)

--------------------

- MAJOR FIX: The engine now attempts to strictly respect the order of instructions in the script.

(no more need to use the "DELAY=1" tweak to enforce it!)

- Fixed: Potential issues when changing language.

- Fixed: Minor issue with retrieving default font colors.

- Fixed: Skipping with autoplay enabled was too slow.

- Fixed: Loading saves now removes all effects.

- Fixed: Removing effects did not fully work (they were still saved in the save file)

- Fixed: Touch screen now displays prompts correctly instead of using mouse prompts.

- Fixed: Saving/loading now saves & restores the status of images (when moving/rotating etc) NB: Only partial for now.

- Fixed: List of strings sometimes saved empty values, causing issues when using the SIZE instruction.

- Fixed: SPEEDHIDE for PROMPTREMOVE is now implemented correctly.

- Fixed: When creating an image, the ALPHA value was ignored.

- Added: Debug menu options for texts translations & voices (with F3)

- Added: Accessibility menu if the folder exists.

- Added: Accessibility to choices lists.

- Added: It's now possible to add thumbnails in thumb/ for the CGs gallery (to speed up accessing this menu)

- Added: When hovering clickers, you can now define the hightlight color/transparency with HIGHLIGHTCOLOR/HIGHLIGHTALPHA, and/or an outline with OUTLINED/OUTLINEDCOLOR/OUTLINEDALPHA. You can also display a specific image with IMAGEHOVER.

- Added: ABOVE_CLICKER depth is now possible. To be used with IMAGEHOVER/IMAGEMODEL.

- Added: In creation mode, the engine now checks there aren't duplicate clickers with the same ID on screen.

- Added: Error messages added for a lot of instructions instead of silently failing.

- Added: Error messages now display the event name where the issue is.

The event name is also put into clipboard automatically to make searching easier.
