Getting Started Creating Your First Visual Novel Knowing Your Workspace How to Upload Assets

How to Create A Scene Adding Dialogues Adding Character Asset into a Scene Managing Background Images Working with Sounds Adding Choices How to Publish a Visual Novel How to Download Your Game

Before you start anything, it is important to add assets to the library. After all, what you are making is a visual novel, with the word visual in front of the phrase.

There are basically two methods to add assets to the library.

Using link

If you are using a free version to create a project, this is the only method available for you. To upload an asset using a link, you will need to get a link of your asset and copy-pasting it into the box.

There are several ways to get a link.

Resources Gallery
If you are using assets from Resources Gallery, all you have to do is right-click, choose Copy image address and paste the copied link into the box. If you are using assets from Resources Gallery, please make sure you read the description for the terms of usage to make sure it is suitable and can be used in your project.

Upload your asset to a third-party hosting site such as (trello.com)

(UPDATE: We have encountered an unsolvable issue that prevents assets uploaded to Trello from loading properly. We can no longer recommend this site as a hosting site anymore. Instead, we recommend you consider upgrading your project to Premium by either purchasing points from our store page or subscribe to one of the membership. More info regarding this issue - click here.)

This is not a sponsored post, but Trello is our most recommended site for hosting your asset. The main reason is their link last longer in comparison to other popular hosting sites such as PhotoBucket. We do not recommend using PhotoBucket because their link is most likely to get renewed every so often which will make your assets unavailable in the engine.

It is very easy to get upload your assets in Trello.

First, make sure you create an account. It is free with a limit of 10MB per upload which is usually more than enough for a project. We recommend you to compress your image before uploading wherever it is possible to make sure you do not exceed the 10MB limit. You may opt-in for their premium account but we would like to remind you that a free account is usually more than enough if you are only intending as a hosting site.
Next, create a board for your project.
Go inside the board and create a list. Next, under the list, create a card.
Click on your card and just drag and drop your assets into the card. Wait until your assets finished uploading and then click on it.
