About LVNAuth
LVNAuth is a desktop application that lets you create and play visual novels. Currently, it is only available for Linux.
Built-in editor: Manage your visual novel, from beginning to end, using LVNAuth's GUI editor.
A command system: You can start or stop actions in your visual novel by using simple commands.
A built-in Wizard window will guide you with using commands so you don't have to memorize the commands.
No programming experience required. LVNAuth is made for story writers.
Chapters and scenes: You can have multiple scenes within a chapter.
Simple animations: Ability to apply character and object animations, such as fade, movement, rotate, and scale.
Create non-linear visual novels: Branch your stories off based on the viewer's choices. Linear visual novels can also be created.
Support for backgrounds, characters, including the ability to change a character's image to show a different facial expression, and object images. Images in .png
format are recommended.
Support for Font Sprite Sheets and Font Kerning. There is also a built-in bitmap font tracing tool to convert variable width font sprite sheets to a fixed width.
Compile your story into a single .lvna
file, which can be opened using LVNAuth. Your viewers will need LVNAuth to play your visual novel.
No programming language support. LVNAuth only allows the use of its own commands. This restriction might even make it easier to create visual novels because you don't have to learn a particular programming language to create a visual novel with LVNAuth.
LVNAuth is free and libre software. Creating and maintaining open source software takes considerable time and effort. Please consider donating to help with development costs.
