Please follow if you like this project and are interested in more of my stuff! You can always unfollow later if you change your mind, and I would really appreciate it! :D Remix to use. In the menu, use the mouse. In-game, you can press z, space, or click to progress the dialogue. When there are buttons for you to select to choose different options, you have to use the mouse. If you use this, please give credit to @silverfenn (me) for making the engine. It would also be appreciated if you press the love button if you use it, as it will help more people find this project. The ladder is optional, however, so if you don't want to, that's fine. Thanks. In the main menu, the "Start Game" button asks the player for their name and starts the game, the "Voice Volume" slider sets the volume of the clicking noise that plays when characters in the game talk, the "Music Volume" slider sets the volume of the music, the "Text-to-speech" checkbox toggles text-to-speech on and off, the "Show FPS?" checkbox toggles showing the frames per second on and off, and the checkbox with the picture of the Earth toggles auto-translation into whatever the player's language is on and off. (Note: The text engine of VisScratch only supports so many characters, so if you want to make a visual novel that can translate into/is in Japanese, for example, you'll have to make the hiragana, katakana, and kanji yourself, since they're not included in VisScratch's text engine.) The "Show text all at once?" checkbox toggles showing the dialogue all at once, rather than it appearing slowly, on and off.
I'm working on an Undertale fangame! The demo is out now! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/795177810/ THESE ARE IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THE WHOLE NOTES AND CREDITS! Thanks! :) 4/4/2025 - I'm not really active on Scratch anymore, but it's cool to see people are still making stuff with this engine :) Thanks everyone 12/7/2022 - OMG HOW DOES THIS HAVE ALMOST 5000 views?? THX SO MUCH! this is actually inspiring me to make projects again haha 4/19/2020 - Curated by @smartcutecandy Links and Resources___________________________ Confused? Here's a tutorial for VisScratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/380491409/ Description__________________________________ This is a visual novel engine. A visual novel is an interactive text-based video game that has visuals and (usually) has a branching story. You could also call them interactive stories, I guess. Usually things are slightly animated, like a character's facial expression might change, and you can see characters slide in and out of the screen, but the rest of it, besides music and the background, is mostly text. A game engine is sort of like the software that was used to make a game. So how would you make this with Scratch? Although VisScratch isn't exactly its own software since it uses Scratch, it has a bunch of pre-made code that comes in the form of custom blocks that make making visual novels with Scratch way easier. So what is VisScratch? VisScratch is a visual novel engine for Scratch. Once you know how to use it, it's pretty easy to use. Find out how to use it here -> https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/380491409/ And when your all done making your visual novel, you can remix the engine, and your visual novel will be saved (or remix it at the beginning; it doesn't really matter). Then you can share it like you would with any other project. However, if you do use this engine, please give credit to @silverfenn (me) for the engine. If you read this description and looked and the tutorial and you're still confused, please look at the quick start guide (it can be found inside the project.) Feel free to ask any questions you have in the comments. Credits______________________________________ Title Music: Home Sweet Home by @PaulRHJT.
