Create Visual Novels only using Excel (CSV files)
Hi. I recently finished the first release of a visual novel engine based in Renpy that works reading CSV files, this means that you can create visual novels with minima programming knowledge. Basically is a simplification of Renpy.
Each CSV file is a scene that contains a dialogue per row (background, music, sound, characters, effects and the dialogue itself in many languages). Each scene can finish by a decision, consequence or a linear transition to another scene.
It is open source and uses Python, here is a video tutorial (in spanish): https://youtu.be/hQgPutc-hpo?si=_EK9Tn4dkkCEWtRD
If you have questions, I'm all ears.
Create Visual Novels only using Excel
I have simplified Renpy creating a system that reads .CSV files and translate it into Renpy functions, I named it Atlax Renpy.
You can handle backgrounds, music, sounds, characters, effects on screen and create decisions, points, consequences. You can manage languages very easily
It is fully created with Python and it is open source. I created a video explaining how to use it (Spanish): https://youtu.be/hQgPutc-hpo?si=WOi7xKErRhIE-Bk6
I hope someone finds this helpful. I am open for questions.
