We developed a game using the latest version of TyranoBuilder and attempted to deploy it on Steam. We saw that it was quite not possible to lock/unlock achievements easily with zero coding skills as stated by TB. Also once investigated the earlier games using TB engine, I saw that they were using an earlier version which made our game assets in compatible with the earlier TB. I suspect that this can be related to the shortcoming of TyranoBuilder's integration with Steam achievements and hoping that it will be fixed in the future ://

easy for my stupid brain who was too lazy to use ren'py cus i hate coding. It's like as basic as can be, so don't expect any like crazy features. I will say most of the plugins haven't been updated in awhile so that was pretty annoying. This game itself hasn't been updated in quite some time, but its easy if ur just starting out making visual novels.

Fantastic. I have no knowledge of scripting or game-building whatsoever, but I can definitely make VN games now. Definitely recommend it.

I love this engine, 1000000 times recommended. I've been using it for almost 600 hours. It takes some time to master, but the tutorials are excellent and with practice you'll get better and better. All questions that one could have are also answered in the discussion boards. Some things that I love: - No coding required! - Super customizable user interface. Every game that I make in this engine comes out different, which is awesome. - Possibility to import videos and gifs, great background transitions, character movement options and camera settings, which helps you make very animated visual novels easily. - Excellent variables system, you can make very advanced games with unlockable scenes, multiple story branches, different endings, etc. - I even managed to create quizzes (options), a shop with in-game currency (image buttons and variables), a system that lets player choose what character traits the hero has (variables), and even a long horizontal screen where the player explores from left to right. ALL WITHOUT CODE. - Unlockable galleries and replay galleries. - Possibility to monetize games. I tried several other visual novel engines but for me this one is the best, especially if you cannot write a line of code and still want to make very advanced games. Thank you for this gem.

Pros: -Straight Forward and Easy to Use -Conveinent features and simple online tutorial. -Does most of what you'd want in a Visual Novel maker Cons: -No free assets (Tho this is easily solved by going on itch.io or make your own) -Slightly Limited (Special things you'd want to program into it, limited by your knowledge) Personal Opinion: It's a very good beginner Visual Novel maker. The quality is limited by your creative skills and know hows. I've been enjoying making my own stories tho it's a bit tedious at times. But that's probably just the cons of the process of typing in lines. Most Loved Feature: You can drag and place things in. It's very organized so you won't have a jumbled mess of code or any of that hassle.
