I'm happy to announce the release of Visual Novel Nodal Editor 1.0.3!
This update brings one of the most requested features since the project's launch: Linux support.
Native Linux Version
A native Linux build of the editor is now available alongside the Windows version.
Whether you're developing on Windows or Linux, you can now enjoy the same workflow and feature set on both platforms.
Cross-Platform Novel Generation
The editor can now generate executable visual novels for both operating systems:
Windows Editor → Generate Windows and Linux novels
Linux Editor → Generate Windows and Linux novels
This means you can develop your project on your preferred platform while targeting players on both Windows and Linux.
Steam App ID Support
Version 1.0.3 also introduces Steam App ID integration.
Developers can now associate their visual novels with a Steam App ID, allowing generated novels to verify ownership through Steam before launching.
This feature is intended for developers who have:
Registered as a Steam developer.
Created their visual novel application on Steam.
Obtained a valid Steam App ID.
Once configured, your generated novel can use this App ID as an additional layer of protection and distribution control through Steam.
Looking Ahead
Linux support marks an important milestone for the project and opens the door to even broader platform compatibility in future releases.
As always, thank you to everyone testing the editor, reporting issues, and providing feedback. Your suggestions continue to shape the development roadmap.
Happy novel creating! 📖✨
