Cloud saves and achievements are also integrated with Steam now, with no extra work for the developer.

All Narrat games should be able to publish games to Steam easily with this.

Improved Steam support will be backported into Narrat once the game is released on Steam. I want to make sure the setup is all good on one game first.

The Narrat template will be updated so that other games can get full ability to put builds on all Steam platforms + Steam Deck out of the box.

Introducing narrat 4: with full AI support. Want to make a game but don't want to "make a game"? Press the new generate game button, and the AI will write all your script and dialogue for you based on prompts.

It's Steam Visual Novel Fest! store.steampowered.com/category/vis...

Speaking of which I have been doing some work on improving and documenting Steam integration and native Steam Deck support on Narrat. I want to get to the point where Narrat games can get a green tick on Steam Deck by default.
