Ratings and Reviews

This is great! Just one suggestion.

This app is wonderful and easy to use! I have been using Kocho for a long time now and all I have to say about it is that it's a wonderful app! But, there is one thing I'd like to maybe suggest. I wish there were a way to have more than 4 choices. In my visual novel/dating sim there are 8 characters to meet, and you meet/fall in love with them individually.

But sadly, I couldn't have more than 4 choices, which really limited me with the choices for which characters the player wants to meet/date. I really want there to be a larger amount of choices that the player can make (preferably 8 choices, so 4 more choices for the player to make.) so if that could be put in, that would be great and really help me! Maybe if the option to add more choices gets added to the app, I'll finally give Kocho the 5 stars it absolutely deserves. Other than that slight thing that I think can be added to the app quite easily, this is definitely a 5 star app!

How do you use the "choice" option?

I'm really confused on how you make choices. I know that you click "input choice" and then you type in as many choices as you want but what after that? I want it to show a curtain text box when I click one of the choices but I'm not sure how to do that. Does it have to do with the "conditions"? I'm not sure how those work either. Can someone help me out? I'm new to the game 😅

Hi ! Yes we have some tutorial that will help you out in the beginning of your journey, you can find them in our YouTube channel KochoVN, here is a link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPMmKacgP9xOPmVr5MR5CLQ, start with the basics tutorial and then watch the choices tutorial.

Great story-telling app

I've been looking for an app like this for some time. I found this one today and gave it a try. So far I love it. It's easy to use and offers pretty good functions. I would like to see several things. 1-the ability to offer more than four choices. 2-the ability to make the Go To function go to a random page, either in a given range, a given chapter, or selected set of pages. 3-the ability to assign a random number to a variable.
Edit regarding update 1.6.1 - font stroke color cannot be changed back to "none" once you pick a color. Picking "none" simply retains the past color picked. Please add the random number capability. I need to be able to generate random events (what's in a particular room, or what treasure is in a box.)
Edit: Been 3 months since an update. Still desperately hoping for random functions (random numbers to variables and random "go to" locations. Any time soon?

Thank you very much for the review and the suggestions, we are going to include them in our development tasks and see if we can make them work in future updates. We hope to play your stories soon!
