Or, alternatively, download the .zip file containing the repository.

Follow these instructions to get started using DEVN.

In the project view, navigate to DEVN/Prefabs/ and locate the prefab named "DEVN Canvas"
Drag and drop said prefab on to the scene hierarchy

In the project view, navigate to a folder that you would like to create your DEVN scenes in
Right-click, and select Create/DEVN/Scene
Remember the "DEVN Canvas" prefab that was placed on the hierarchy? Navigate to the "Scene Manager" component and set the newly created DEVN scene as the "Start Scene"

To open the scene editor window, under the Unity toolbar, navigate to Window/DEVN/Scene Editor
In the scene editor window, under "Current Scene", select your newly created DEVN scene

You are now ready to edit your scene! Try right-clicking on the graph and have a look at each node and their properties
Hint: Try starting with a background node! Most visual novel scenes will need a background at the start of the scene
