* Installation complete!
## Quick-start
> Follow these instructions to get started using DEVN.
### Scene set-up
* In the project view, navigate to ``` DEVN/Prefabs/ ``` and locate the prefab named *"DEVN Canvas"*
* Drag and drop said prefab on to the scene hierarchy
### Creating a DEVN scene
* In the project view, navigate to a folder that you would like to create your DEVN scenes in
* Right-click, and select ``` Create/DEVN/Scene ```
* Remember the *"DEVN Canvas"* prefab that was placed on the hierarchy? Navigate to the *"Scene Manager"* component and set the newly created DEVN scene as the *"Start Scene"*
### Editing a DEVN scene
* To open the scene editor window, under the Unity toolbar, navigate to ``` Window/DEVN/Scene Editor ```
* In the scene editor window, under *"Current Scene"*, select your newly created DEVN scene
### Congratulations!
* You are now ready to edit your scene! Try right-clicking on the graph and have a look at each node and their properties
* *Hint: Try starting with a background node! Most visual novel scenes will need a background at the start of the scene*
