Visual Novel System!
It works! I have a visual novel system! Now I just need to supply game content. Lots of game content.

(NOTE THIS IS A LINK TO AN EXAMPLE AND WILL NOT BE A LINK TO THE COMPLETED GAME I HOPE)
The script for that example looks like this:

“Proze” Visual Novel System

event loop bg bg1 fg fg1 say Hello world wait 50 sub x 1 compare 0 x go loop < fg bg1

And that’s it for now! Stay tuned for actual game content later!
