LVNAuth

LVNAuth is an open-source Linux application for creating and playing visual novels. It is intended for story writers and other users who want to develop a visual novel without programming experience. The software provides a graphical interface for managing a project from its beginning through completion.

Its built-in editor lets users organize a visual novel into chapters, with multiple scenes within each chapter. A command system controls when actions start or stop during play. The built-in Wizard window helps users work with these commands without requiring them to memorize command syntax.

LVNAuth also supports simple animations for characters and objects. These include fading, movement, rotation, and scaling, allowing visual elements to change during a scene. Its combination of story organization, command-based control, and visual editing places it in the Graphics & Design category for Linux.

MirrorNest distributes the official LVNAuth build directly from its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published.
