Visual Novel Dialogue System and Dating/Friendship Sim Mechanics

I know when I first wanted to make a dating sim, I had no guide to go by. Back in the Ace days, there was only one plugin that showed the dialogue system below and it was in Japanese (and thus, useless). I didn't know it could easily be evented! Well, maybe not easily. It does take a lot of work and it may seem like doing so much extra work than just typing dialogue regularly would be. However, it's worth it in my opinion. It adds much more versatility than, say, just a regular old message bust plugin. If there is anything else VN/Dating Sim related you'd like to know how to do, just ask and I probably know how to work it and would be happy to help~


I've never made videos before so they aren't that great. . .If you are familiar with the engine and eventing I'd recommend just downloading the demo project file >.<
