Version 1.6.0 will make it musical!


Hi everyone. I'm proud to anounce the release of the version 1.6.0!

As usual, here are the new features

Added audio support

First addition is the possibility to add music and sounds to your game. As for pictures, this is done by adding your asset to the assets manager then adding it to the page of your choice.

The way it works is the sounds and musics whill be played once entering the page, and the music will keep playing until your enter a page with anoter music selected or whith the music "slience" selected, in which case the music will be shut.

Added a button to switch complexity

In the settings pannel, I've added a button to change the complexity of the engine. When turned off, some panels with be hidden, so if you don't need everything from the engine you can have acces to a simpler interface. This is mainly intended to people who just want to write a story and don't care about scripting and others advanced features.

Upgraded the category system

Untill now the category system was quite painfull to use so I decided to upgrade it in a system similar to a folfed system. This changes the way the list of pages is displayed on the left of the editor and is inpired by code editors like visual studio code. Now you can add caterogies the way you would add folders and you can drop your pages and finally toggle a category to hide its content.

A picture's worth a thousands words, so here a gif:


Added game title in the menu

Last feature. I've added the game title to the menu. It's a small addition compared to the rest but still worth mentionning.


Conclusion

Now that verison 1.6.0 is released, I think I'm runing out of ideas to things to add to the engine. I'll probably be looking for users as feedback are really important if I want to improve the engine. More that adding features I'll probably have to work on the UX to make using the engine more enjoyable.

That's it for now. Thank for reading!
