Tyrano Builder - Visual Novel GUI Pack #2 Color-Blue [kopanda UI] · published
We're excited to announce that TyranoBuilder is now updated to version 1.6, which adds a 3D camera, video backdrop functionality, and a whole host of other new features and improvements. All of these new functions can be used by placing the new components in the Scene Editor, or by using TyranoScript tags. Check out the list below for full details.
TyranoBuilder should update automatically in your Steam client, and will give you the option to back up any projects built in previous versions before attempting to open them for editing in the new version. v1.5 and all other previous versions are available in your Steam Library by right clicking in TyranoBuilder Visual Novel Studio, then going to Properties > Betas.
We hope you enjoy this latest version!! Please post any feedback to the announcement comments or to the thread in the Steam Discussions group!
