About

Light.vn Visual Novel Engine

Light.vn is a visual novel engine designed for ultra fast iteration to bring out the highest quality in all projects. 

Main features

[Realtime Preview]

The biggest feature in Light.vn.

Open up your project in the editor and click on a line - the preview screen immediately displays the state of the project at that point in time.

[Games in an instant]

Unlike drag and drop UIs, Light.vn's scripting language allows you to simply copy-paste your scenario, your first game is done in an instant.

[Pixel perfect]

Feel free to finally get that textbox, that image just right up to the very pixel.

No need to restart the game or click refresh - Light.vn's editor auto reflects on preview your every single change

[Complete UI set]

Backlog, Config, Save, Load, Replay, etc. - Light.vn's official sample comes with all built in, ready for use. 

[Simple]

Your whole project is just a single folder.

Copy paste to backup. Double click the editor to go again. 

No need to install some central bulky program on your PC.

[Extensible]

From traditional visual novels to 2D RPGs and 3D dungeon mechanics, unleash your possibilities. 

[Well Tested]

Tired of software that breaks now and again?

Light.vn comes with it's own testing suite, LightTests.exe, guaranteeing quality, stability, and deterministic performance.

[Completely free]

We take no dime.

(And have taken none since development start in 2012)

[Great support]

We've worked with teams both small and large for over 10 years.
