LoveStory - A VisualNovel Library for LovePotion (v1.2)
LoveStory is a VisualNovel library for LovePotion on the Nintendo Switch.
LoveStory’s purpose is to simplify the creation of VisualNovels as well as the integration of a simple to use DialogueSystem for story driven games for Nintendo Switch.
To write your own VisualNovels I reccomend to download the demo-game and edit novel.lua to your needs.
You can find a full documentation of how to use LoveStory in the LoveStory_Documentation.pdf attached to this thread.
If you have questions or need support, don't hesitate to write me a pm or ask directly here.
