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.

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

Live Director Mode
-
Run VN sessions in real time without pre-scripting anything.

Assign VN interactions to NPC tokens or tiles on the map.
-
Players approach and press F to interact — just like a video game.
