Visual Novel Blocks

The visual novel block is used to present a series of images and text. Each time the “next” button is pressed, the next text in the sequence is presented, potentially with a new image. Each step containing text and an image is called a “screen.” There are three types of visual novel blocks

Visual Novel (basic) – This block has a text, with caption, for each screen. Optionally, you can add a voiceover for each screen. There is also a title page option.

Visual Novel Bilingual – As the name implies, this works the same as the Visual Novel block but allows the developer to include text and audio in two languages.

Visual Novel Plus – This block has both the bilingual feature and advanced, interactive features that allow you to place and move other images on the background and an option to add choices, for either a choose-your-own-adventure type game or to check player understanding.

Video Blocks

Manuel Rodriguez during the 1800s, close up shot. The caption says "Sí, porque a los soldados les tienen que haber advertido sobre una mujer vestida de verde que anda en este barrio. Van a estar buscando a esa mujer, y no a un ayudante de tienda que va saliendo de la ciudad."

The Video Page block is used to show a video which can be in one or two languages. This page can be used to play a single video in one language, or, for bilingual games, either a single video with two different audio tracks or two different videos. When the play button is clicked, the title and play button are removed and the video plays.
