  1. Hey there, I wanted to share a visual novel app I have been working on for the last 6 months! Visual Novel Reader allows you to read any visual novel converted to VNDS(++) format on your android. Google Play Download Instruction Video Personally I like reading my visual novels on my phone or tablet, it is much more comfy than sitting in front of an computer. Reading a visual novel is like reading a book, it is preferable to be able to read it anywhere, like if you're travelling or somewhere with no internet access. Since this is indeed a visual novel forum, I suppose most of you have heard about the VNDS and VNDS Interpreter option for reading visual novels on android already. And so did I. Since I started reading visual novels I have read almost every visual novel playable by the VNDS and also made contributions myself (Kagetsu Tohya and Kanon converters). However the developer seems to be gone, and the app has been unpurchasable for a year now. Which is why I around christmas decided I would attempt to make my own VNDS interpreter. And instead of making a new platform I decided to extend upon the VNDS-format so it could support all existing VNDS novels. It would be a waste not to. Hence I am just calling it VNDS++. Additions to the VNDS scripts so far includes the ability to play videos, AND and OR operators (rather than a pure kernel scheme as in the original), as well as easier sprite positioning. The upside of having made it myself is that whenever I create a converter for a visual novel, if I find there is some essential support lacking I can extend the interpreter, rather than having to find nasty work-arounds. I'm not sure if this is of any interest for you, considering the VNDS is quite an old platform now. But being one of those who prefers to read visual novels on tablets, this is something I have been working hard on: to extend support and availability for visual novels on android. I will be using the summer to create more converters and bring more visual novels to android. I'm currently working on a converter for Clannad:Tomoyo After. If you are interested and would like to play a certain VN, feel free to suggest visual novels you'd like to be able to read on android. I hope this may be of interest to some of you - Synthicify
  2. Hey there. I also prefer to read visual novels on phone/tablet rather than on a computer. For years I used an app called VNDS interpreter, but the developer has now vanished, and it is impossible to buy the app. Therefore I have for the last 6 months been working on creating my own app that serves as a universal visual novel reader. What this means is that it is an app that can read any visual novel written in a certain format. The original app could read novels written in VNDS. I built my app upon this so it is backwards compatible, but I also extended the format (VNDS++) after what I needed for converting some visual novels. In short, it's an app that can play many visual novels on android. I'm currently doing the final testing before release of Visual Novel Reader (for android). I plan on making a few converts during the summer vacation, so if anyone has a visual novel they'd like to play on their android, feel free to suggest
