The Editor Just Got Better! Here's What's New in Novelez

Hey there, it's the Novelez team 👋

We've made some exciting changes to the editor today. Let us walk you through what's new!

🎭 Players can now enter their own name

A must-have for any visual novel, right? You can now ask players for their name and gender when the game starts.

It's super easy to set up.
Add a "Player Setup" block, flip the toggles on, and you're done!
Use {player_name} in your dialogue and it'll automatically show whatever the player typed.

Example) Eileen: "Nice to meet you, {player_name}!"
→ Eileen: "Nice to meet you, Haruka!"

⚙️ Settings are now always within reach

Until now, you had to click a small gear icon to open settings. Now there's a dedicated Settings tab right in the editor's left panel.

Switch between 📝 Script and ⚙️ Settings anytime. Game title, title image, BGM, credits — all in one place.

🏁 Endings got an upgrade

You can now add a dedicated BGM for each ending.
Plus, enter your credits in the Settings tab and they'll automatically appear on the ending screen.

Give credit to your artists, musicians, and everyone who helped bring your story to life.

🔍 Preview assets before you pick them

Tired of guessing which image is which from tiny thumbnails? Now you can click the magnifier (🔍) to see the full-size preview. For audio, just hit ▶ to listen right away.

📐 Recommended image sizes

Just in case you were wondering:
• Backgrounds: 1920 x 1080 px
• Characters: 1080 px height

Don't worry if your images are a different size — they'll be auto-adjusted!

🔔 One more thing

From now on, whenever we have news, you'll see a notification modal right when you log in. Once you read it, it won't pop up again. Easy and non-intrusive 😊

Go try out the new editor and bring your stories to life!
