I can’t import background music or sound effects

As the title says, it won’t let me import bgm of sfx. When I click upload and it brings me to files, I’m not able to select any downloads. Please try adding an option to go to your video gallery and upload from there if you can! Sorry!

Приложение оченб крутое, но у менч проблема с сохранением имени гг:(

я сделала переходную страничку с вводом имени для гг. но она не сохраняет ее, а только переводит в итоге на другую часть игры без сохранения имени. Там вообще ситуация тыжклая.. было бы легче если бы был русский язык, а пока что страдаем…

probably a bug

I noticed everytime I try to add dialogue it glitches and every letter I type gets doubled (for example if I typed hello it’d result in “hheelloo”) idk if it’s something to do with the app itself but I felt I should mention this, aside from that it’s a pretty good app

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the review! We just released a new version today, it should have fixed the issue. Please update the app and try again.

Please add in-app tutorial

I have a feeling that this app is very powerful. I haven’t seen anything that requires incredibly complex code, so it’s, in theory, a very simple and beginner friendly source. Even with no personalization, the ui makes it feel like a real visual novel. The only problem is that the little “?” marks automatically try to send me to the webpage. The problem? I have parental controls. I can’t just go waltzing in to any old site. And even if I could, why is it necessary for me to be site hopping for a TUTORIAL HOW TO USE AN APP. Please, because I can’t even choose avatar icons for my characters, I can’t figure out why my title screen in the preview doesn’t show up on the game title even though I save the preview, I can’t even find out how to edit UI hex codes!! I feel that a tutorial in-app is a very necessary feature! I’m not sure if the devs have just not yet fully optimized mobile layout, as it was just added, but I feel like many action buttons are simply not there? Whenever I click to add an avatar image, clicking on one of my pictures from my list of sprites doesn’t do anything but show descriptions. Otherwise, I’ve been trying to just focus on writing. I will say the preview option is nice, it makes it easier to grammar check, and the sprite uploading and integration is really smooth. Audio importation was also really smooth. I’ve been hoping for a good mobile visual novel maker, and I have high hopes RouteVN might be what I’ve been looking for. Just, once I learn how to use it.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review and feedback! We are hoping to do weekly updates to make improvements and fix the bugs. There is 1 beginner mobile tutorial video on Youtube if you search for RouteVN. But I'm not sure if you can do that with parental controls. We plan to do more tutorials soon hopefully. I will also try to see how to better integrate those tutorials within the app itself.
