VNAnd release 0.1.0

Here is the initial release of VNAnd, my multi-game interpreter! This version comes with support for a few different game engines, namely VNDS, ZZT, Chip-8, and Knytt Stories.

I included some free games with it, and details for where to find other games are included in the manual.

Download VNAnd 0.1.0 for Windows, Linux, Mac

Android version soon to follow.

To play it, just unzip the downloaded file and run the included .jar file! For more details check the included readme.txt and manual.md files.

I’ll open source it before long, too.

Here are some screenshots of VNDS in action, click on them to check them out:

VNDS is collection of game interpreters I’ve been working on for a few years. It started life as an Android interpreter for the visual novel format VNDS. As time went on I added interpreters for other formats I was interested in hacking around with.

There is a universal loading menu that recognizes games in compatible formats, and launches the proper interpreter for the game:

I’ll be writing more about the different capabilities of VNAnd, as well as posting downloads soon.
