A better name would be piXYZels...

Makes sense,  thanks!

Hi,

This project is proceeding very quickly! I love the splash screen solution -- very simple and elegant. However, I downloaded the latest build (1.2.7) a few moments ago, and now unfortunately I can't add a new scene any more. I installed it from my itch.io collection page: this shouldn't make any difference, should it?

I liked it. Even at this early stage of development, it shows how the app can be used to build a complete visual novel.

Brilliant! Keep it coming!!

Hi

How come I didn't notice that DELETE button? Weird.
Great to see things are moving fast! I'll play with it again in a little while

Another short test

https://goliard.itch.io/another-capsule-vn-test

...and some observations:

• It would be nice to be able to delete a scene
• For cut scenes, splash screens etc, it would be good to lose the text box completely and have just a blank screen to play with
• I find the character appearance action inappropriate on occasions -- that little jump at the start of the scene can break the flow and even look a little comic at times: it would be nice to have an option of just a straight 'cut' with no action for characters
• There is an anomaly with backgrounds -- after two or three scenes with identical picture formats (webp, jpg and so on), I have had to change the picture format to get the next background to load

But yeah, it's simple and straight forward, so kudos so far!

Hi

Very responsive, thanks! I'll check it out

Hi Capsule Team,

I think the easiest method is uploading the test to my itch.io account so you can download it from there:

[UPDATE]

I substituted  a webp background image instead of the original jpg and it worked fine... Something to think about...?!  It would also be useful to duplicate a scene, or allow a background to run across several scenes - that would be efficient.

Hi

Just tried a VERY simple 3-scene fragment, and the background refused to load on the 3rd scene. I'm on a Windows 10 desktop.  (The background for the 3rd scene is identical  to the first two).

I can send you the exported HTML file if you want it.

Now it works fine! I really like the UX -- very friendly and intuitive. Hope to use it for a project soon.

I tried all that. It didn't work.

Seems fine, mechanics look good, but can't change the language to English...

Can I import artwork created in other programs? I'm assuming the answer will be 'yes' ?

Any news on possible upgrades from Version 1?

No, that doesn't work. Setting that field to "contain" does not change the proportions of the background image, and when I try to resize it the image jumps erratically. Like I said before, I really like the concept, but I'm sorry to say that the program is not usable in its present form, in my opinion.

Hi,

Trying to work with VN Gen -- can't seem to get past the background! 

This is a screen grab of the problem. The picture in the black inset at bottom right is the correct proportion; at top is how it appears in the program. Despite 'handles' appearing at the edges of the separate regions of the image, it is not rescaleable (incidentally, this is true of all panes). So I'm kind of stuck.

Great quality. Worth every penny. Would love to see (and buy!) cathedral and tavern interiors at the same scale..

Thank you! I'll try this later on. This is such a cool idea for VN development

I'm enjoying playing around with the program at the moment, but I'd like to know how to stop the timeline at a particular frame?

Looking forward to it!

Any tutorials available? What language are script files written in? Buttons? Clickable areas? You can't "drag assets from the dock on the left" because you can't LOAD assets into the dock on the left. This is a really nice idea, but it needs some tender loving care. Discovery-based learning will only take you so far...

Dead link.

Right. It was strange to be using your program while you were editing it. That was weird!

Here is an image from the program. (The original wasn't mine, just something I pulled from the internet)

I'm no programmer, but perhaps Run Length Encoding could be used to reduce the size of HTML files? Don't be afraid to tell me to mind my own business!

Works really well! I found that squashing the original image slightly in the vertical direction beforehand (about 25%) works better, as this tool stretches images a little bit vertically. Thanks for this...

Ha ha! These suggestions are now obsolete -- the tool has been improved! Bravo!

I'm sorry, but these tutorials don't cut it. They are too short and too specific.  I just bought PixelOver (great program, by the way!), and as a beginner what I need is to be shown how to develop a short project from start to finish. 

This is quite something.. thanks!

OK! Will try again soon

Maybe it's  me?  Couldn't get anything to work. Loaded a background image - couldn't see it, and no other buttons worked... So, definitely not intuitive.

Is it within the rules to develop a plot and suchlike before the jam starts?

There's a misspelling and a typo in your opening message -- this looks amateurish with a capital "A"

Thanks. There are a few "axelart" presences out there...

So, what is your YouTube url?

Right, thanks for the info. You've been very patient

That worked OK, yeah, thanks. So, how do you use it? Couldn't see an EXE file in any of the directories...

I have over 200 GB free space on my hard drive, yet the download page gives me an "out of storage space" message.

You have announced two "second moon jam" themes...
