Update V2.0.7

Highlights

• Chat can now display a background photo when a photo for that location is available.

• You can now attribute sources for adapted and public works.

• When you Investigate a Story, you can now start a new Life or add the Story to one you already have, then pick the role you'll play. Your Circle seats come prefilled, and Pathway and sex are locked when the Story sets them.

• Creators now retain control over structural bonds between characters, even if they’re remixable.

• Your Circle now keeps both how each Character is connected to you and how they feel about you.

• When you start a new Life with a Story you picked, that Story now starts getting ready right away instead of quietly waiting in the background.

• World covers and Character portraits can now play subtle animations.

Quality of Life

• Character pages now have separate Profile and Circle sections and show a Remixable badge. World names on Character and Story pages are now clearer links. This would fold into the existing "more detail" line.

• Cleaned up some old unused fields, renamed some others.

• Coach suggestions you haven't accepted yet now stick around when you switch chats or step away.

• The Story editor now shows question-style prompts and tips for each field.

• Relaxed the naming requirements for nongendered Characters.

• Editing a relationship now has separate steps for the connection (like sibling or coworker) and the dynamic between you, instead of one combined editor.

• Family bonds like step-parent, step-sibling, and in-law are now gender-neutral options. Bonds you already saved still load and show correctly.

Bug Fixes

• Photos generated within a Scene no longer time out and should remain visible if you re-open the app.

• When you ask Coach for a specific Circle bond, its suggestion keeps that bond instead of falling back to "acquaintance." Accepting a Circle suggestion now applies right away, without deciding every other card first.

• Scenes that got stuck after a server restart now recover on their own and continue.

• Accepting a new portrait, for a Character or for yourself, no longer fails with a "not found" error, portraits stuck generating now recover on their own, and if accepting does fail, the message explains why more clearly.

• Draft photos in the World library now show up correctly.

• Catalog portraits and covers now stay on their preview until the full image is ready, then switch over once, instead of restarting the load.

• Autosave no longer changes what you're in the middle of editing, and accepting Coach edits no longer gets held up while Coach tries to publish.

• Saving connections between places, like portals, works again.

• Starting a Life from a Story no longer fails with an unknown Circle seat error.

• Encounter openings now use the right Characters and pronouns.

• Scenes now stay consistent about which Characters are physically present, including Characters who were summoned or stepped away, and reuse existing Characters before making up new extras.

• Saving a Story draft no longer fails after you reopen the editor.

• Community Characters already in a Scene can now be found and referenced correctly.

• Characters in a Story keep their identities more reliably as the Scene goes on.
