SEEVN 2 - Visual Novel Editor & Player for Android

SEEVN is a visual novel engine (VNE) that allows artists and writers to bring dynamic stories with multiple paths to life, using an easy to understand scene node editor. Let readers and players make their own choices, entering information and arriving at different endings. VNs can be locked from editing to protect your work with a strong encryption method. Assets can be loaded from local storage or the Web. Shared stories are played in the same app.

From the top left menu save your novel with a name that you choose, this will store a .seevn file that you can edit later

Publishing:

Beware that media files (images, sounds, etc) stored in your device can't be accessed by others. You need to distribute them along with the .seevn file, and make sure their paths are relative to it. Or upload them to an online server and update their paths to the new online location so they can be accessed remotely.

From the menu publish your novel with another name, this will generate a locked .seevn file that can't be edited again (remember to backup your work)

Exit the editor from the menu with the Home option

Choose Load & Play and load your saved or published novel

Safely share your published SEEVN visual novel with anyone!
