Every story should be told before they are lost forever.
Monogatari is a simple web visual novel engine, created to bring Visual Novels to the web, it features almost the same syntax as Ren'py so it is pretty easy to use and you require no programming experience to create a game, it also makes exporting Ren'py games to the web incredibly easy. It has been created with the purpose of taking visual novels to the next level, make it easy for developers, artists and writers to extend their VN functionality, integrate it with more web services, create games with features that no one has ever imagined. It is time for Visual Novels to Evolve...
Monogatari is an open source project released under the MIT License which means you can use it, modify it, distribute it and pretty much everything so feel free to use it as you want!, there are no special conditions to use it although all your players and I will really appreciate if you don't put any adds on your VN, adding adds is really easy since it's web based, but again, it's horrible for the users so please try not to do it.
Monogatari is written using the latest HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript Features. The time we live in is amazing, there are lots of different devices, screens etc. that's why Monogatari is Responsive, it adapts to any screen so everyone will be able to enjoy your game, no matter what device they are on, besides since it's web based, they won't have to download anything, however it's not only limited to web, you'll also be able to create desktop and mobile apps!
Break any language barrier, since Monogatari is Web, you can write your novel in any language supported by the browsers, if you can write it with a keyboard you can use it, as simple as that. There's already built in functionality for you to translate your game into any language it's pretty simple and I'm sure many people will really appreciate having finally visual novels in their language.
Monogatari is built to be fully extendable, since you can add your own javascript, you can pretty much do anything in your game, and if you need something fully integrated in the engine, you can modify it's code to add any features you'd like to it, if you take a look at the code you'll notice it's in fact very simple, it was made in a way any basic programming book will get you ready to understand almost everything and there's nothing in it that's not well documented in W3 Schools, so go ahead, you can mess around with it as much as you like to create amazing things!
