★★★★★
Wonderful tool to use!
I find Naninovel very useful for different kinds of multimedia projects. It has the right combination of tools I need: cohesive framework; comprehensive API; good scripting support; integration with Unity.
★★★★★
Simple for newcomers, deep for experts
This asset is very user-friendly and won't require much programming if any at all for the most simple and usually most common visual novels. However it can be customized and expanded upon for more specific cases, making it overall a very versatile tool.
★★★★★
Excellent tool — just keeps getting better
Developer is very active and responsive; they're the easiest to contact developer I've had opportunity to work with on the Unity Asset Store. The mini-scripting language used to write Naninovel Novels is straightforward and, once you pick up and understand a few of its quirks, painless.
★★★★★
Excellent VN Engine for Unity
Naninovel does away with the node-based workflow of many other tools, replacing it with a very clear, readable script style approach to writing dialogue and directing the scene. It goes above and beyond many other VN/narrative tools for Unity with built in visual novel features.
★★★★★
Best VN tool in the store!
I have tried many different visual novel solutions for Unity during the past years and no question about it: Naninovel is the best of all of them. It uses a simple script language that won't be too much a trouble to understand once you start working with it.
★★★★★
Excellent, genuinely
I've tried every VN asset I could get my hands on, and this one is by far the smartest and most friendly to a novice like myself. The documentation is thorough and the support is EXCELLENT.
★★★★★
Best VN-engine out there! User friendly & powerful
Being a professional 3D Artist I really appreciate the wide range of ready-made effects that can be applied to the backgrounds and characters, and the ease of animating & manipulating the character sprites. Auto voicing is also super feature if you have voice overs!
★★★★★
Rare combination of easy to use and also easy to extend
I'm a writer/designer with 4 years of experience writing commercial visual novels in the mobile games industry. In my opinion, Unity+Naninovel blows them all out of the water. By a lot. It's not even close.
★★★★★
Amazing Visual Novel asset and an awesome dev!
While it's obvious from the outset that the asset is both usable and powerful, what isn't as obvious until after you have access to it is its service architecture makes the library extremely flexible and extensible. It's the very model of what a good library should be.
