Belle is a cross-platform and easy-to-use visual novel maker, that lets you create visual novels and other 2D games for the web.
Belle is already functional and quite stable, with most features implemented, however it's still a work in progress.

Belle is free and open source software , released under the GNU General Public License v3 . This means you can modify this software and adapt it to your needs. It also means you can use it freely to make commercial or non-commercial games.

Since Belle is a desktop application that deploys games for the web, you'll be able to make games in Windows (XP or newer), macOS (1.8 or newer) or GNU/Linux and deploy them as web applications that run in your browser.

Belle doesn't require coding, like most visual novel engines do, instead everything is done through a visual editor, which has a similar design to Novelty .
Optionally there's the ability to extend games using Javascript.

Games made with Belle run natively on modern browsers, so you don't need to worry about compiling and distributing libraries.
On top of that, by using the web as a medium, your games become easier to access and play.
