Shoutout to Renpy. I love me some VNs and I love that little engine. It's so user friendly (as in for the player) and it's open source.
Renpy is i believe already the most used tool for VNs. It uses python so it allow far more customization than just a classic branching VN. Granted, you need to learn python, but at least it's the most used programming language in the world not some proprietary language that may die anytime.
A minute of silence to all actionscript 2/3 (the adobe flash programming language ) devs
The most used programming language in the world is Excel, not Python.
Not for programming
Defold is my favourite. Maybe not as user-friendly as other engines, but someone like me who likes to do everything just the way I want it, it's amazing. And the community is small but super friendly.
