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](https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/5020)). 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.
