Belle 0.5 alpha is out, available for Arch Linux, Gentoo, Ubuntu and Mac OSX


Belle 0.5 alpha is out, available for Arch Linux, Gentoo, Ubuntu and Mac OSX (KDE Graphic Editor)

What is Belle?
Belle is a cross-platform and easy-to-use visual novel maker, that lets you create visual novels and other 2D games for the web.
Belle is already functional and quite stable, with most features implemented, however it's still a work in progress.

Easy to use
Belle doesn't require coding, like most visual novel engines do, instead everything is done through a visual editor, which has a similar design to Novelty. Optionally there's the ability to extend games using Javascript.

Easy to distribute
Games made with Belle run natively on modern browsers, so you don't need to worry about compiling and distributing libraries.
On top of that, by using the web as a medium, your games become easier to access and play.
