version 1.1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe core of version 1.1 is the new UI for Candy DC: the UI should be more convenient to use, but it also enables new possible features for Candy DE commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Version 1.1 should release in the first half of May 2026, and our first priority will be to fix bugs, update the documentation and make new tutorial videos as needed.
After that, we will work on expanding Candy DE and Candy DC features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for future assets, we already have several ideas, some of which we already have working prototypes for. We’ll disclose more later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nPlanned Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCandy Dialogue Engine<\/strong>
Version 1.1.0<\/span>:
\u2022 Condition commands will now be able to run Spoken Lines and all commands directly (previously, this was limited to a few specific commands).
\u2022 Spoken Lines and Actors can now be configured to override engine settings and always user or never use speech bubbles (previously, ‘never use’ was the only option).
\u2022 All line data in dialogues will now be of type String. The dialogue engine will convert to other types internally when running dialogues as needed.
\u2022 It will be possible to rename the \u00ab\u00a0Default\u00a0\u00bb language and speech variants to anything you want (e.g. \u00ab\u00a0English\u00a0\u00bb).
Version 1.x.x<\/span>:
\u2022 Layered Portraits and VN Busts, with animation compatibility (soon).
\u2022 Per-line\/file override options for sprite animation speed.
\u2022 Writing speed modifier tags in spoken text.
\u2022 Variable assignment, function call and signal emission in spoken text.
\u2022 More options for existing commands (made possible by the new Candy DC 1.1 UI).
\u2022 More commands.
\u2022 More dialogue modes in the engine code.
\u2022 More\/improved debug prints.
\u2022 More function hooks.

Version 1.1.0<\/span>:
\u2022 Redesigned UI — more ergonomic layout, drag-and-drop functionalities, etc.
\u2022 Better tools for translation work.
\u2022 Conversation and Block reordering.
\u2022 Lists of Layer\/Bust nodes in Background or VN Scenes.

\u2022 Profiles now sorted by user.
\u2022 Custom Presets and Custom Inserts can now be either profile-specific or user-specific.

\u2022 Node graph to visualize the dialogue structure (not guaranteed – we’ll need to create an algorithm that can arrange Blocks neatly in the graph).
\u2022 Tool for adding custom commands (not guaranteed – we want to do it, but we need to carefully figure out the implementation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
