key when clicking it.
Scope of progress
By default the progress is aimed to move the scene forward slightly. As of version 0.30
there exist three sub actions here for minor
, major
and curveball
style progression. How weill this works strongly depends on the model.
All they do is try to coerce the narrator to provide a story progression at a bigger scale, with the curveball one aiming for a story upset.
Note that you can still hold the ctrl
key to provide further direction for these as well.

A tracked state will have a checkmark next to it.

section.
Creative Tools
Take character out of scene
Will remove the character from the scene. This will NOT remove the character from the character list, it will only remove them from the current scene, making the actor no longer partake in the scene.

Keyboard modifiers
You can hold the ctrl
key when clicking this action to disable the automatic narration altogether.
Call character to scene

key when clicking this action to disable the automatic narration altogether.
Introduce new character - Directed
Allows you to quickly generate a new, interactive character to add to the scene.
Determine Name
If selected will try to generate a reasonable name from both your instructions AND the existing scene context. A reasonable name means "Joseph" instead of "Clumsy Cabbage Vendor".
Active
If selected this means the character will be inserted as an active character into the current scene right away.
If not selected the character will get created but exist as deactivated and will need to be called into the scene manually.
Narrate entry
If selected, the narrator will generate some flavor text for how the character enters the scene (if they arent already there). This will follow the instructions you provide in the text box below.
Instructions for the new character
Write any instructions that you want to pass along for the creation, this can be as little or as detailed as you want.
Narration direction for the character's entry
Write direction on how you want the character to enter the scene.
A character already interacting in the scene will not have their entrance narrated
If the narrator has already established the character interacting with your characters this "entry narration" will be skipped. The check for this 100% based on an AI prompt so may not always work correctly.
Templates
Control attribute generation using your existing World State Templates.
Augment Attributes
If you are generating any attributes via templatews the default assumption is that you want full control over the attributes, so no additional attributes will be generated. However if you do want randomly generated attributes alongside your template generated ones you can check this box.
Introduce new character - From context
If narration or dialogue has been generated that references a character that has not yet been created, you can use this action to introduce them and make them real and interactable.
The AI will be prompted to generate a character based on what is known about them in the context.
Hold ctrl for advanced options
You can hold ctrl
to bring up the advanced options similar to when introducing a character from scratch.
Once it is done, the character will now be part of the scene and can be interacted with.
Indicator
The availability of this is directly tied to the world state on the left panel.
The character needs to appear in the list of characters in the world state context.
a little human icon will appear next to the
Creative Actions
button if there is a character that can be introduced.
Visualizer
Availability
If the visualization menu is greyed out, it means that the Visualizer Agent is not enabled or ready.
Please refer to the Visualizer Agent section for more information on how to set it up.
Visualize Environment
Will generate a stable diffusion prompt and send it to the visualizer agent to generate an image of the current scene.
The generated image can be viewed by clicking on the New images button on the top right of the screen.
Early Development
At this early stage of development, all you can do with this generated image is to view it. Future versions will allow you to set it as the background image for the scene.
Visualize Character
Will generate a stable diffusion prompt and send it to the visualizer agent to generate an image of the selected character.
The generated image can be viewed by clicking on the New images button on the top right of the screen.
Info
This will take longer than the environment visualization, as it will do multiple inquisition prompts to find out more about the character and their current state.
If the character does not have a cover image set the generated image will automatically be set as the cover image.
Saving
Context menu that will provide you with Save
and Save As
options.
