Blanc Engine is a desktop-first visual novel creation suite and standalone runtime written in Rust. Write dialogue, wire branching story graphs, design custom UIs, translate languages, and package a Windows installer in one unified editor.
Node-based branching graph connecting Main Menu, Scenes, Choices, and Endings.
Live-preview customization for Title Screen, Dialogue Box, HUD, and Pause/Settings menus.
Standalone Rust runtime with typewriter reveal, sprite transitions, Auto-Play, and Skip modes.
Built-in 6-language Windows Setup.exe packager with custom branding and clean uninstaller.
Designed so writers and artists can ship complete desktop games without touching boilerplate code.
Draft your story in a clean screenplay-style editor using natural tags for speakers, emotions, music, and branching choices, then convert directly into visual scenes.
