Hello

I am working on a visual novel, in RenPy, but I am considering switching to Unity3D for the mobile/web export option flexibility. Unfortunately is a major step up for me in terms of programing abilities so I was browsing the asset store in look for help to understand if a swich to Unity is feasible or no.
I found some tools listed below, and I wonder if someone could be so kind as to explain me the difference betwen the following in terms functionality, ease of use/understanding for someone new to Unity3D:

  • Visual Novel/Conversation Tool
  • ldc-localized-dialogs-cutscene-plugin-for-unity
  • ex2D
  • Visual Novel Toolkit

Also feel free to reccomend other tools.

You should check out Localized Dialogs Cutscenes (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making). Seems like a good tool for Visual Novels.

Yes, I have it on my list, and I have seen some web demo but I still dont know how it compares with the other on my list in term of functionality and ease of use? It does not have a trial version.
