Novelez is an AI-assisted no-code Visual Novel creation platform that helps writers, creators, indie teams, artists, and storytellers turn scripts, outlines, web novels, or AI-generated drafts into playable interactive stories directly in their browser.

Is Novelez free to use?

Yes. Novelez is free to start during the beta, with a web player and core creation tools. Advanced features such as AI scenario conversion and Ren'Py export are currently free to use once per day. The free period is not fixed and may switch to paid at any time.

What platforms can I publish to?

Novelez supports browser-based web preview and sharing today, and the product is designed around Web, PC, and Mobile publishing workflows. Final access rules for credit-based export features will be announced before launch.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Novelez uses a visual node editor where you connect story blocks (dialogue, scenes, choices) by clicking and dragging. No programming knowledge is required.

What is the best no-code visual novel maker for beginners?

Novelez is designed specifically for beginners. Unlike RenPy which requires Python scripting, Novelez uses a browser-based visual drag-and-drop interface that anyone can learn in minutes. No installation or coding knowledge is required.

Can I publish visual novels to Steam?

Novelez is designed to support PC/Steam-oriented build workflows. Final plan access and credit rules for export features are still under review.

How is Novelez different from RenPy?

RenPy requires Python scripting and local installation. Novelez is a browser-based, no-code alternative with AI-assisted scenario conversion, a visual node editor, built-in asset management, and instant web preview.

Can I turn a webtoon into a game?

Yes. Upload your webtoon panels as background images, add character sprites and dialogue nodes, then create branching story paths with the visual editor. Novelez makes it easy to transform any story into an interactive visual novel without coding.

What file formats does Novelez support?

Novelez supports PNG, JPG, and WEBP for images and MP3 for audio such as background music and sound effects. Browser preview and web sharing are available today, while wider PC and mobile publishing workflows are being designed around credit-based features.

How do I share my visual novel with others?

You can share your visual novel through the browser-based web player. Wider export and distribution workflows are being designed around credit-based features and will be announced before launch.
