Hello all,

Not new to the forums but this is my first time posting as a developer. I'm making a phone game engine for VNs much like the ones you've seen on this very website. The thing that sets it apart is absolutely 0 use of any external packages or assets while maintaining the same quality you've seen from some of the best-quality games on here. It's built with schemas designed for ease of use and editing, and I'm even currently working on a tree structure schema editor to build out the JSON files it'll use for the story. I tried making it so that those out there with little to no coding experience can use it comfortably. It's fairly feature-rich at the moment with more to come, currently, it handles:
- Sending text/image/emoji messages through choice buttons
- Automated message receiving from the correct contact along with notification indicators if not viewing the contacts page.
- Receiving text/image/emoji messages
- Full sound effects for all clicking and messages being received
- Delayed time of contact messages pushing to the screen for suspense-building and realism
- Full persistence of all information for saving/loading the game with manual and auto-save systems
- Social media pages with a pretty layout similar to Instagram
- Fully functional Gallary that persists between playthroughs
- Chapter selection with all but the messages themselves and social media posts persisting when used
- Allows for midrolls with the choice to the developer after each chapter on whether to show some of them or not
- Full schema breakdown in the README file for ease of story writing
- Fluid transition animations for all screens and objects on the screen

All the aspects mentioned above are fully customisable through simple editing of JSON files.
Obviously, with no visual of the game, it's hard to verify my claims. Still, for now, I wanted to sort of throw a feeler out there and see if anyone else would be interested in using it if I put it up on Patreon or made it available for sale. I'm open to other suggestions as well. I made the engine to build out my own game but my dev skills are way better than my story writing skills so it's taking me a while and I figured I'd see if I can both help people out there who are better at writing stories than coding, and in the process help make some money so I have more money to work on the actual game or keep adding features to the engine.
