HumiGal 0.2.0 Version Update : Zero-Code Visual Novel Engine for Mobile Reading
New Features and Enhancements
HumiGal Engine
We’ve added a feature that allows you to cancel names. Now, an <Empty> option is available in the name field on the storyboard editing page, which is equivalent to removing a name.
We’ve optimized the UI interface and some translations for clarity, and we’ve corrected ambiguous phrases to make them easier to understand.
We’ve enhanced the thumbnail display in the material library. Now, characters’ faces and expressions in thumbnails are no longer obstructed.
We’ve optimized the trial play interface. The screen ratio is now locked at 16:9, ensuring that the trial view matches the final gameplay experience.
We’ve optimized the illustration display to maintain consistent performance effects. We’ve adjusted the display method for illustrations, and creators may need to re-check their published works to see if any adjustments are needed.
[Note]: The current illustration display method is a transitional solution with room for improvement. We welcome more suggestions and will explore how to support creators in freely adjusting the position and size of illustrations.
We’ve improved the material library’s format support by limiting the upload format to prevent game loading failures due to incompatible formats.

We’ve set the game interface to a 16:9 ratio, ensuring a consistent gameplay experience across different devices and resolutions.
We’ve optimized the text box display, so the text position remains fixed during gameplay.
We’ve improved the game settings interface, allowing for the full display of the menu bar at the bottom of the settings page.
Bug Fixes
We’ve resolved the recurring issue where, if video materials are added in the editor, the current chapter could become uneditable.
We’ve corrected the problem with GIF images not playing properly. You’ll need to re-upload the related images in the material library. Please note that previously uploaded GIFs may still not play correctly.
Preview of Version 0.2.1:
Exciting new features and enhancements
Improvements to HumiGal’s editing functions:
A new feature that allows ‘Starting trial play from the currently selected storyboard’ will be introduced.
Enhancements to HumiHumi’s reading functionalities:
An update reminder will be implemented: If a user’s app is not up-to-date, a pop-up will appear to guide them through the update process.
An in-game sharing feature will be added: Users will be able to share their current game page using the in-game camera button.
Multilingual tag support will be introduced: Each language will have its own independent tag library, with the work detail page displaying the appropriate language’s tag library based on the selected language.
Comment functionality will be enhanced: Nested reply and reporting capabilities will be added.
Anticipated bug fixes
Inability to save shared images to the local gallery
Intermittent issues with text display in the text box during gameplay, particularly when moving from one chapter to the next
Random occurrences of chapter loss, causing published chapter pages to revert to an unpublished state
Video storyboards not playing properly on the mobile app
Instances where chapters containing videos fail to load completely on the mobile app
Potential errors arising from adding or removing branch storyboards in the editor, such as branch anomalies, material problems, and storyboard misalignments (This area is intricate and challenging to address. If local adjustments prove ineffective, a major overhaul might be undertaken to permanently resolve these issues while improving the editing experience)
