Novel to Script

Novel to Script turns existing prose into a playable game project. It is a fast way to move from raw story text to a draft you can edit, direct, and expand inside GenPy.

What It Does

Use this tool when you already have a novel, screenplay, short story, or fan fiction draft and want to turn it into visual novel script format. Instead of rebuilding everything by hand, you can start from your existing writing and refine it in the workspace.

How to Use It

1. Click Novel to Script on the home page or choose it during project creation
2. Paste your novel or story text into the input area
3. Let GenPy detect characters, dialogue, narration, and scene settings automatically
4. Review the generated project with character definitions, labels, and scripted dialogue
5. Open the project in the workspace to edit and refine it further

TIP

If your story is long, start with one chapter or section first so you can review the style and structure before converting the rest.

What GenPy Generates

• Character definitions based on the names it detects in your text
• Properly formatted dialogue lines
• Narration blocks for descriptive prose and inner thoughts
• Scene or chapter structure with labels
• Basic stage directions such as showing or hiding characters when appropriate

Key Features

• Smart character detection: recognizes likely speakers from dialogue patterns and naming cues
• Language preservation: keeps your original language and does not translate the source text
• Chapter append: lets you add new chapters to an existing project instead of starting over
• Multilingual support: works with Chinese, English, Japanese, and other languages

Tips for the Best Results

• Use clear dialogue formatting, such as quotation marks or character names before speech
• Add chapter or scene breaks if your source text has them
• Keep character names consistent so GenPy can identify them more accurately
• Review the generated project once before expanding it with more chapters

When to Use It

Novel to Script is ideal when you already have a story draft and want to become productive in visual novel format quickly. It is especially useful for adapting novels, scripts, and long-form prose into an interactive project.

After Conversion

Once the draft is generated, you can keep shaping it inside GenPy:

• Refine scenes and dialogue in Write mode
• Add choices and story branches
• Use the Performance Editor for visual direction and presentation
• Continue polishing with GenPy AI if you want help revising or expanding scenes

INFO

Think of Novel to Script as a strong first draft generator. You will usually get the best final result by reviewing pacing, speaker labels, and scene flow after conversion.
