I only know a little and still struggling for some that require translation patches n stuff

All the VNs I read this year ranked. Tiers are sorted and yes, I count the Quarry as a Visual Novel.

Hi. I recently finished the first release of a visual novel engine based in Renpy that works reading CSV files, this means that you can create visual novels with minima programming knowledge. Basically is a simplification of Renpy.

Each CSV file is a scene that contains a dialogue per row (background, music, sound, characters, effects and the dialogue itself in many languages). Each scene can finish by a decision, consequence or a linear transition to another scene.

It is open source and uses Python, here is a video tutorial (in spanish): https://youtu.be/hQgPutc-hpo?si=_EK9Tn4dkkCEWtRD

If you have questions, I'm all ears.
