🎭 Visual novel



In Celestory, there are 3 types of blocks: logic blocks, blocks linked to a template and blocks not linked to a template.

There are 2 templates: Chatbot and Visual Novel.

If the Chatbot template displays a wall for publishing messages, the Visual Novel template has several particularities:

- It is made up around the scene, a decor that is cut in X places of the same width, which adapt to the size of the screen.

- The characters have dialog images (a still image to the left of each dialog to indicate who is speaking) and moods, each of which can be associated to an image.

- It has new blocks to animate the characters.

- The actions of the blocks have delays.

- It is compatible with an animation software that allows to have skeletons with 2D or 3D effects: Spine.
