CAFÉ GUILE is a fabulous project that showcases the wide breadth of Lightvn's movie capabilities.

The characters you see are all movie files, coming together to form one coherent, immersive, and expressive experience.

Follow @poundtoundhound.org for more of their upcoming adventures!

Thank you for the kind comments, if anyone has any questions or need support, we’re always happy to help.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so excited to get going on mime 🥰

I figured one of the coding-based ones would be your speed! Bonus to Light.VN that it has realtime updates as you program, whereas you have to run the program each time for Ren'py.
