A lot to cover in this one!
- Interactive Playthroughs: You can now run guided, interactive sessions that walk you through story development. Think choose-your-own-adventure, but with Dramatica.
- Visual Storytelling: Image generation is now woven directly into Dramatica Interactive, letting you visualize scenes as they unfold in the moment. With the new Visual Design Overview, you can set a consistent visual language for your project so images stay coherent from session to session — same story, same world, same aesthetic, without fighting the prompt every time.
- Players: A new Players section brings characters fully into the structural workflow. You can define a Player’s Role, Appearance, Voice, and Bio, generate images that stay consistent with your Visual Design, and — most importantly — assign individual Elements directly to Players. This grounds Objective Story dynamics in the cast itself, turning abstract pressure points into something concrete, trackable, and embodied in the people carrying the conflict.
- Plotting section complete: Weaving operations and Generated Synopses have been fine-tuned. For even more control, head over to Overviews and add the new Writing Style component to format what you get from generated synopses.
- Writing Section open (All Storytelling, All Synopses, Downloads): The last section of Subtxt, the Writing area, is now open. This section gathers all the Storytelling and Synopses from throughout the Illustrating section and strips all the Dramatica terminology out, leaving just the story. Perfect last stop before getting to the hard part. You can also download them as a package for sharing or review.
- PDF exports with images: Downloads (both in Narrova and in Interactive) now include related images alongside the PDF, so the package is complete and presentation-ready.
- Longer conversations: Context compaction keeps extended chats fast and aligned, so you can keep working without slowing down. The process is both manual (type /compact within Narrova), and automatic when you start to get down to your last resources.
- File uploads: Drafts and images upload more reliably and are easier to recall later in the conversation. Ability to toggle visibility of uploaded files in every context (Conversation, Story, and Storyform)
- Storyforming indicator: It’s now clearer when Storyforming mode is active, so you know when you’re using a deeper analysis engine (and therefore using more capacity).
- Blog and Documentation: We refreshed the blog and documentation resources to make guidance easier to find and follow.
- Expansion Capacity Packs: Purchased capacity now carries over across billing cycles and stays available for up to 12
