Preview

You've made a piece of tale and want to see what it will looks like as a result? The Preview window will help you!

Preview Demo

The "Preview" window consists of three elements:

  1. Viewer - where you can interact with the tale
  2. Control Buttons of the "Preview" window
  3. Debug elements - shows all the elements present in the Viewer at the moment
note

Preview is not just a window to view your tale. It is a complete reflection of what the tale will end up being. You can interact with the tale in real time. That is, you can play it, click, make choices, and read conversations. You don't have to worry about the resolution - it's universal 16x9 for all devices.

Preview debug

This part of the interface shows you all the items that are currently in the Viewer. This is the context of the current tale. It shows you:

  • Sprites
  • Active sounds
  • Current variables
note

Sprites also show the layer on which they are arranged. Layers can be adjusted in the sprite block. The larger the number, the closer to the player relative to other sprites.
