VNext 0.6.1

What's new

• A chat gives the player options only with a choice, whose options show on the phone. Answer lines (quoted lines ending with a colon) and the Chat form's + Answer are gone: scripts that use them need a choice instead.
• The phone screen's list of a choice's options is now called options: list=options, with {option.text}, option.on, option.locked, option.note, option.kind and option.number (answer.of is gone). The ready-made phone uses the new names; phone screens made with 0.6.0 need updating.
• Fixed: an atlas's message about a wrong frames_in_a_row still called it columns, its name before 0.6.0.

Download

Download the zip for your computer, unzip it and open VNext. With no game next to it, it opens in developer mode, where you make one. To play a finished game, put its game.vnext next to VNext: the game keeps its players' saves and progress in that file.

• Windows (10 or newer): VNext-0.6.1-Windows.zip. The first time, Windows may say it protected your PC: click More info, then Run anyway.
• macOS (13.3 or newer, Apple silicon and Intel): VNext-0.6.1-macOS.zip. The first time, macOS won't open it because Apple hasn't checked it: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
• Linux (64-bit, as new as Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12, or newer): VNext-0.6.1-Linux.zip. VNext in it is an AppImage, VNext-Linux.AppImage, one file that runs as it is.

licences.txt, in each zip, lists the software built into VNext and its licences; About shows it too. VNext itself is under the zlib licence. How the players are signed: code signing policy.
