iris-engine's Introduction

Iris Engine

Iris Engine is a visual novel engine that will help you tell interactive stories.

Its scripting language, Lua, is really easy to learn, so you will be able to express your ideas even if you don't know anything about programming. Here is an example of a conversation between two characters:

-- First, give a name to your characters
h = Character.new("Haru")
s = Character.new("Sakura")

-- And let them speak
h "Hi there!"
s "This is all you need to do to display dialogue on the screen."
h "Easy, right?"

Please note that Iris Engine is still in development and some important features have not been implemented yet. Using it for production is not recommended.

iris-engine's Issues

Random crash

Some beta testers have reported the game crashing randomly after playing for a while. All of them encountered the crash in their first playthrough. Neither I nor other beta testers have been able to reproduce the crash.
It might be a hardware-specific issue, but I suspect it can be a problem with the Lua garbage collector.

A crash report utility would be helpful for these cases.

Lua garbage collector can destroy objects that are currently visible

If there are no references to an object in Lua (for example, a local variable that goes out of scope), that object will be destroyed by the garbage collector. If that object was a Sprite and it was visible, the player will be able to see how it disappears from the screen.
The destruction is done safely, so the game won't crash or anything, but I don't think this should be the intended behavior.

This is the reason why the "openScript" Lua function hides all the objects in the scene except for the background.

Allow backgrounds and character bases to have different resolutions

Currently, all background images must have the same resolution, otherwise, during transitions one of the backgrounds will be scaled to match the resolution of the other. The same goes for any other object that supports dissolve transitions, including character sprites.
