Visual Novel Maker

Visual Novel Maker

Create visual novel scenes directly inside Foundry VTT. Build branching dialogues with a node-based editor, trigger them from the map, and run real-time VN sessions with your players. No coding required.

Key Features

Node-Based Dialogue Editor

• Drag-and-drop node graph for writing branching conversations and choices.

• Per-node action sequencing: attach BGM, SFX, camera effects, character entrances, and more to any dialogue line.

• Conditional branching with flags — gate choices based on player decisions or GM-set variables.

Exploration Scene Editor

• Draw interactive regions directly on a background image to create point-and-click investigation scenes.

• Each region can trigger sub-interactions, sound effects, item rewards, and flag changes.

VN Presentation Layer

• Full-screen overlay with character sprites, speaker nameplate, dialogue box, and background art.

• Typewriter text animation with configurable speed.

• Camera controls: zoom, pan, shake, and per-character focus.

• Configurable scene transition effects.

• Location text display for scene context.

• Solo mode to spotlight a single character for dramatic moments.

• Expression switching and lip sync support with per-expression open-mouth frames.

• APNG support for animated effects — compatible with assets from Ccfolia and similar platforms.

• Built-in choice system with instant or player-vote resolution. Players can also suggest their own choices.

Live Director Mode

• Run VN sessions in real time without pre-scripting anything.

• Add or remove characters, swap expressions, reposition them on stage, swap backgrounds, trigger effects, and present choices on the fly.

• Voice detection: the module detects who is speaking on voice chat and highlights their character on stage with lip sync.

• Chat integration: player chat messages appear in the VN dialogue box while the session is active.

Map Interaction

• Assign VN interactions to NPC tokens or tiles on the map.

• Players approach and press F to interact — just like a video game.

• Proximity-based interaction prompts with customizable icons and text.

Theme & UI Customization

• 7 built-in themes (Default, Sci-Fi, Romance, Fantasy, Detective, Elegant, Indigo) with distinct visual styles.

• Full custom theme support: use your own images for dialogue boxes, nameplates, choice buttons, and more.

• Separate customization for dialogue and narration text (font, size, color, style).

• GM and player-level UI overrides for fonts, colors, and layout positioning.

Tools

• Batch Crop Tool: crop and trim multiple expression images at once directly in the browser.

Module Integration

• Works with Cinematic Cut-ins for character entrance animations and scene presets.

• Works with Unboxing the Mystery for interactive item and journal reveals mid-dialogue.

Technical Specifications

• No Dependencies: Standalone module with an embedded socket library.

• System Agnostic: Works with any game system in Foundry VTT.

• Multiplayer Synced: All VN sessions are synchronized across connected players in real time.
